I haven’t won until Microslop is a company that is used in past tense.
Understand that they’re not doing this because of user feedback; they’re doing this because shareholders got cold feet about the whole thing after the backlash (so indirectly it’s still down to user feedback, but not really)
Yeah, i’m never going back to that dumpster fire OS.
My first thought exactly
Stop using Windows any, it’s a US company that’s too large.
According to people familiar with Microsoft’s plans
Might as well get your information from psychedelic mushrooms.
“Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift” For Now.
Give them 6-8 months, they’ll shove it back in quietly in a way you can’t see it happening as easily.
Absolutely.
This just means “We pushed our crap too fast and people noticed, so we’re letting things cool off slightly to quiet down the critics, and next time we’ll boil the frog more slowly.”
I think you’ve just neatly summarized, uh …
… The world (such as we’ve incentivized it, anyway).
Sadly, yes.
What it comes down to is that any product or service with a profit incentive will inevitably betray you, no matter how good or how well-intentioned it started out.
Our only saviour is open source, self hosting, and federation.
I am kinda glad they went to shit so quickly. If it were slow, I probably would never have gone fully Linux. Now, I have all 5 of my machines free of corporate spyware. I am having fun again configuring and learning. Thanks microslop! I needed the push.
Which distro has been working well for you? So for I have Mint and Bazzite on my list to try. Also do you have any pointers?
I’m using mint and loving the experience so far. My kids find it easy to use and even my wife, who was a bit worried having to switch to a new environment, came to realise that it works just as well if not better then windows.
Too late. I’ve already left. Never again.
This is not last time when we said we’d roll back Recall and then put it back in anyway. This time we’ll roll back Recall (and, eventually, put it back in but please don’t leave our platform!)
Recall will just get different name
yeah nah. They’re claiming a lot of shit. Whether or not it gets removed is another matter.
I fully expect their bullshit to stay everywhere, they’re just gonna get quieter about it
Forever will be microslop. Scaling back doesn’t mean removing. It’s still essentially malware.
Too late.
Major shit
shift
Enjoying Bazzite.
According to the headline, all they’re saying is, “we will bother you less (the degree of which, we aren’t clear), and we’ll maybe think about what to do with recall.”
And we will start pushing it again in six months time when people have forgot about now.
