      I switched when the windows context menu had to ask washington for permission to open. Some days it took 10-20 seconds. Repeatedly.

      Well, it was one of the reasons, now it’s all snappy and predictable on my 6 gen intel mint linux.

          Yeah, it is a case with proprietary shit thats only available on microslop. Its an endless cycle where we are being forced to consume slop on top of slop. This lock-in is strategic so that users of specialised software have no other choice.

            What are the odds it’s employer mandated spyware to make sure they aren’t automating their mundane tasks. Or finishing their work in the first 2 hours of the morning and running errands/ chores the rest of the day.

              This is actually quite possible. There where cases where this occurred. I would say that this is more so true within the age of AI. Work smart not hard is essentially an oxymoron in some of these companies, as exploitation is what they crave.

                They need the remaining 30% of their staff to carry the whole load. AI intent there to make work easier, it’s supposed to make fewer workers more productive (profitable for investors).
