To call out MS for their constant bullshit is absolutely the right thing to do imo.

The post quite literally says "WHY THEY ****ING IGNORE IT???". That's not calling out MS for their bullshit. That's asking why MS would do MS bullshit, to which the obvious answer is "because they're MS", hence my comment

You keep talking about choice even though there isn’t one for many people.

May I point out the part where I said, that if you're forced to use Windows then maybe you should complain to the people who force you, not random people on the Internet, who are not responsible for your problems.

Your initial comment [...] doesn’t help anyone.

Then it was right on topic. 🤷‍♂️

maybe they didn’t “choose” anything

They chose a computer with Windows preinstalled.

There are a lot of people who need to use Windows professionally, Linux is not always a viable alternative at all

You misunderstand. I'm not saying don't use Windows. I'm saying don't use Windows and then whine about it later. If you have a job that requires you to use Windows and you have a problem with using Windows, go complain to your manager, not some strangers on the Internet, they can't help you.

People are allowed to prefer Windows for their own reasons and still complain about the shit MS pulls off without immediately being attacked for “installing malware”

People are allowed to prefer Windows no question, but somehow they're always surprised that an operating system, that is generally known for performing actions from which MS profits, performs actions from which MS profits. And then they go cry on the Internet about it like dealing with this wasn't the consequence of their own actions. And then they're surprised they get ridiculed for being ridiculous.

Well, congratulations, but "works on my machine" is not exactly the best argument when it comes to software.

Vegetarians? Are you sure you're doing alright? This is a discussion about software, not beef and lettuce, buddy.

Discussion? You think this is a discussion? You might want to freshen up on the definition of discussion, my friend. Neither you nor the other guy even have made a single point yet. None of you even tried to prove to me that I am wrong. All you have done until now is throwing insults at me. Please keep doing that. Please keep not proving me wrong.

People like OP install obviously shit software and then whine on the Internet about how shit the software is they chose.

People like you cry about that someone points out how it's obviously their own fault entirely.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the most insufferable twat in this thread. Not even close.

"I installed malware on my computer and now the malware does what the author of the malware wants."

Oh no. Anyway...
