Since it's not included in the article, but it is in a linked one, here's the ad:
(Hope it embeds)
I've literally never seen ads in my copy of Windows 11 ever.
O&O Shut Up 10 is extremely effective at putting a stop to this bullshit.
I was fully expecting this to be some blown-out-of-proportion nonsense, like a "Sign up" button next to a switch or slider in the settings menu for something that would pertain to Game Pass. Nope, it's a full block of the window dedicated just to an ad, not pertinent to any surrounding settings. Hella egregious.
Even if it was just a "small thing", how many "small things" that are all individually excusable has Microsoft added now? When would it be too much?
it didn't embed, to post images in comments on lemmy you have to do
Ahh that's the secret sauce, thanks!
Thank you.
At this point I'm more angry at article writers that don't include screenshots of the things they're writing articles about than I am at the issues they're writing about.
A decent amount of the time once the issue is in a bit of context, my reaction is vastly different than what the writer was trying to get me to feel.
I wish there was a way to easily mark or denote articles written by certain authors when loading a page (especially across sites since many of these people write for multiple places) so I don't waste my time reading things from people I've found to have irresponsible or questionable reporting.
