      If you use Solid works at work you’ll be welcome with More retarded ones like:

      Error occurred.
      An item in your assembly needs to be saved X 1000 consecutive windows saying the same thing even if you hit cancel or don’t show again.

      Solid works is phaking regarde…retarded.

    So, as with many other people. this stuff is certainly pushing me into Linux.

    That said, is there no chance of the EU restarting their probes towards them with all the dark patterns they’ve been using to push people into Edge?

    I laughed at Microsoft a lot when they basically made Windows 10 beg people to try edge.

    You tried to change your default and it was like, this isn’t recommended! And you’re like, idgaf change the default, and Windows is like, are you sure? Yes! But edge can save battery power. Are you really sure?

    Fuck off edge. Change the default.

        I work IT support. I’ve seen the dialog about 1000 times.

        It’s crazy how many people prefer a browser that’s not edge.

        They seem to have removed it in Windows 11, and even might have disabled it in later versions of 10. Idk, everything I’m dealing with now in terms of new setups are Windows 11.

    @herseycokguzelolacak Just like how clicking any web links (be it from the shitty widgets menu or from windows search) that open the browser, open as edge:// links which force opening on Microsoft Edge even if it’s not your default browser. This sucks but at least I can uninstall Edge easily from the settings (maybe because I am in the EU)

    Seriously considering switching to Linux lately!

    Microsoft needs to hire a psychologist or something. Their senseless nagging on forcing shit down our throats doesn’t psychologically work the way they think it does.

      Except it does work. Its easy to forget that most users dont really know or care that much about their browser or care what their laptop is doing.

      They just click things until something with search bar comes up.

      The tech savy people are not their biggest customer group so they can risk annoying some people as long as they know they are getting more people in to their enviroment than they are loosing their users.
