It sounds like they're implying most people are losing because they use windows and Mac, instead of Linux, which I don't completely disagree with because of the insane monopoly they have. Just look at all the ads and bloat on windows 11 for a brief example.

Computers must suck for the average user. I'd assume most people on this site would have no issue disabling annoyances in Windows. But most people probably just leave the defaults enabled, which is terrible.

I've been watching old episodes of Computer Chronicles lately - it's amazing how much more user friendly Microsoft products were back in the day.

Enshittification is hitting windows hard these days. Windows 10 was okay in my book. I‘m probably not going to use windows 11. Currently preparing an ubuntu daily driver for operation.

But as doctorow said here, we are crawling back to old anti trust standards which we lost. It’s going to take a long time but it’s going.
