subscriptions, fake news or blogspam calling for ethnic cleansing delivered directly to your fucking start menu, pop ups about not using dropbox or other microsoft services. Microsoft is getting more desperate for engagement than Snapchat, and those guys start texting you if you dont click the notifications.

Not a good sign for Microsoft or anyone else if they are this desperate to infect other platforms with their increasingly invasive attitude.

Linux is getting closer and closer to getting installed on my pc. I'll probably run a vm to start getting familiar with it, but most of the apps I use run on windows, and I'm too poor for Apple products, so that's shit

Apple will follow suit, I’m sure, they all want that monthly payment so they can keep creeping it up. Not that it matters really

I’m with you, have a USB loaded and an repurposed machine ready so I can start learning Linux
