Holy shit, look at that start menu… Just… Why…
So a web-based wallpaper service hosted an ad?
I’m shocked, shocked I say!
A lot of people are going to get triggered by this. This is not okay.
More money for J.K. Rowling and her anti trans crusade.
I see a lot of comments poopooing people that use this software but offer no alternatives…
Once you install linux mint without having to make an account of any kind you’ll wonder why you put up with windows.
Here’s one alternative: linux
On the fediverse it’s pretty much a given that most people use linux over Windows. (Or instead any big tech software realy)
As far as linux goes, pick whatever suits you. Or openbsd, templeOs,… come on get your feet wet already. Windows is boring.
It looks like Linux users don’t have to miss out on said ad!

Bing wallpaper of the day application for Gnome desktop
And what’s the lesson?
Ah see, your mistake was using Bing. They only said they’ll reduce W11 ads, not Bing ads! 🙃
The total ad volume remains constant if you decrease W11 ads and increase Bing ads to compensate. It’s the law of ad equilibrium. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
It’s the law of ad equilibrium.
Adquilibrium must be achieved!
Why the fuck would you set up a bing powered wallpaper?
Microsoft - Stay out, but please come in!
Harry Potter is cringe
Windows 11 is cringe, so it’s a perfect match
Microsoft said…
Our panel of experts has determined that is a lie!
I hadn’t finished.
It doesn’t matter.
What kind of stupid news is that? No one cares about any of that
apparently you cared enough to write a comment about it
Yeah, i’m just tired of seeing these kind of headlines popping in my feed
Have you forgotten or perhaps repressed the fact that the vast majority of people using a computer are using Windows 11?
There are a shitload of people who this affects.
Well, that’s their problem if they chose to continue to use it. And even while still being on it, there are now many ways, many tool to avoid those kind of scenarii. But hey, people won’t try to look for a solution, it’s much mote conveninent to complaint than to try to find solutions
Doesn’t change the fact that plenty of people does care about this situation.
Well the whole article is basically complaining about Microsoft for doing their thing.
With all that happened with windows 11 already, everyone knows perfectly well that things are not going to get better overtime, it’s only gonna get worse…
I don’t get that trend of pointing out each new stupid feature they come up with.
What should we expect, that they are finally going to listen, to do the right thing and start doing an OS for the people?
We know it’s garbage, so let’s get straight to solutions or alternatives to get around that. These kind of articles serves no purpose.
If people are upset about not being able to control a software like this, maybe it’s time for them to wake up, stop being lazy, and adress the problem once and for all with an alternative that is not going to screw them wity spywares, ads, AI slop, pre installed bloatwares, useless features and forced updates bringing with them god knows what new shenanigans…
News flash you’re not the center of the world and this article wasn’t made for you specifically
Glad i am not the center of the universe, and like you said, this article was not meant for me.
Useless reminder of what was ovious. Thanks.
