    “Everyone else should be subjected to my preferences” is also a child’s argument.

    If i wanted a Mac I would buy one. They are great for people who like them, but their extremely integrated environment is used to justify exclusive software and hardware requirements that I don’t want to be limited to. Windows forcing an online account is aping Apple and I hate it.

      How am I subjecting you to my preferences? Phone Companion disappears if it’s disabled, you’re upset because Microsoft added icon groups. How dare they upgrade your operating system, the monsters. In a world where they could have plastered it with ads, no less!

          You guys are admonishing Microsoft for investing in good improvements. Your preferences aren’t the issue, it’s your framing of any change as aggressively bad without justification that I take issue with. Other than you not personally using the feature, you have no justification whatsoever for your complaints. It’s just ignorant whining, and it only serves to set back an OS that desperately needs the overhaul. This whole sub seems fucked, it’s not just you.

          EDIT: I’ve given this some thought and arrived at a POV where I may have been too hard on you. Maybe there’s a need that speaks to folks like yourselves, who are tech savvy enough that you’re on a Lemmy instance but really just want a prototypical Windows experience. To my mind, that’s crazy but here we are so I must be wrong on that front. I admit there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, it’s just annoying you’re in the same user base I am - someone who wants Windows to improve finally. Maybe we can agree that Microsoft should just go back to Windows 95 and cater to you guys, and leave modern computing to the professionals.
