so I started to see stuff on O&O ShutUp10++ that help disable most intrusive windows features, but it’s closed sorce, wondering if they are any open source alternatives? Shutup10 ++

    How does this answer the question?

    I’m a little tired of this platform constantly shouting 24/7 about how we should all use Linux all the time, everything else is terrible, etc. Yes Linux is great, I use it a lot, I love it.

    I don’t need it constantly shoved down my throat this way though. I especially don’t need it’s users to act all high and mighty and shame me for daring to still use Windows.

    I know the pros and cons of using both and I use both for various different tasks. When somebody asks a question about Windows, just telling them to switch their entire operating system to Linux without knowing anything about their situation or why they use the OS they use isn’t answering the question, it’s not even trying to answer the question.

    It’s just saying “you’re stupid for using Windows at all for any reason, and I refuse to engage with your actual question or try to help you at all, I’m just here to tell you you’re wrong, your personal life choices are bad and you should do what I do instead”.

    I appreciate how great Linux is, but let’s not try to convert everybody to your way of life at every opportunity. Let people live their own lives and make their own choices, whether you agree with them or not, and if they ask a question, seek to answer it without shoehorning your own agenda in. That’s all I ask <3

      It’s a two-word response. Where is all the rest of this coming from? Do you need a cookie, a hug, a pinata, and maybe a nap?

      Yes and we’re all tired of hearing about new ways MS is trying to fuck you. The reason you keep hearing about it is because it keeps being the answer to questions asked.

      Instead of using bullshit software to get around problems that shouldn’t exist in the first place, and are regularly and maliciously “patched”, just install an operating system that respects you as the user.

        Atheist? Um no, I think you mean Mormons.
        Atheist rarely ever talk about atheism unless a religions mf is already trying to shove their shit down your throat.
        Atheist don’t go knocking on your fucking door trying to spread the word of the not God.

          Agree, but there’s a big chunk of atheist that like jerking each other off, vocally telling themselves how superior and smart they are. That’s the point being made

            Yes. But not the majority and going to a dedicated community on Reddit is just asking for it. You’ll never have an atheist in the wild start blabbering on about how they don’t believe in God without engaging them first. Unlike mormons, vegans, etc. That’s my point.

              I still disagree. Majority of topical subreddits and people are nowhere near as obnoxious. Although, granted, Reddit is a bad place to set bars on quality of discussion.

          Not what I mean. Check out r/Atheism. It’s a particular brand of holier than thou, ironically, that I find insufferable.

          edit: For those not excelling in reading comprehension, it’s about sanctimonity, being holier than thou, an insufferable asshole. Not unlike the way in which I am writing this.
