Windows 11: "Did you know you can use Face Authentication?"

Me: (checks to make sure the masking tape over the camera is still in place)

(corporate machine... my personal machines are almost all Linux now)

So far my experience of it is saying, no, you can't have this, no you can't have that. And nag nag nag. No I don't want office whatever, no I don't care about your cloud, no I don't want copilot. It's not really an operating system anymore. It's just a sales piece of bollox.

@TheDailyBurble @ai6yr but now with MORE services as a service.

It wants rent. I'm studiously avoiding paying rent. I don't even want Windows11 and didn't buy it. It's an interim machine I have to cope with. I've wasted so much time trawling through the nags and bloats.
Peak 2024 garbage.

ai6yr,

@TheDailyBurble @rye I switched all my daily drivers to desktop Linux, and have never been happier. My day to day on Windows was fighting off bloatware and constant security reboots, etc. etc.

@ai6yr I used to be a fan of biometrics and then when I started learning how much information was being capitalized on it has really made me yearn for a different world.

ai6yr,

@rye It's all cool technology, until it's commercialized and abused (or worse, compromised by bad actors).
