  Microsoft is ALWAYS antitrust, it’s been like that since day one

  Break that up already

  Serious question: is there a way to completely disable this for SharePoint? We searched everywhere and haven’t found options to disable it without wrecking SharePoint for the users.

  Those investigations will all end with “nothing to see here” in about 3 months from now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It IS easy to use for most people

  There really isn’t much complications in the way of installing and using linux, I think it’s even fair to say that at this point it’s easier than windows.

  The reason annoying people like me exist is because people like me see people like you paying money for shit and then complain about the smell. You don’t need to smell shit, you know.

  So in other words, switch to Linux, never look back, bever again use anu Microsoft software or product. Done.

  Yeah and in no way would that EVER be abused. No way that the definition of what constitutes hate speech would ever be skewed or abused either… It’s not that easy, man.

  For sure, if they follow you outside the game that is a big hard red line there, but then again, I always keep things like that very separate.

  Never had anyone telling me to kill myself, but in other instances where they’d get annoying I’d simply mute them and continue playing. That is what I Mena with thicker skin.

  There will always be racists and bigots, I don’t think you can stop it completely while the harder you try to control it, the more restrictive you become and the more you suck the fun out of it.

  Though there is enough to be said about racism and homophobia, I think we should also be really careful with not overshooting in the other direction. I used to love shit talking with a small group of friends. No, I’m not a racist, I’m a minority, but we have a different kind of humor, which is not politically correct and we use it to kind of vent about real issues. I do know that we’d be banned in a heartbeat (we have been before) and for what? We never bother anyone, we never stalk or hareass anyone and typically were in our own little group.

  I do think people should grow a thicker skin as yes yes a thousand times yes, racism is bad, homo/trans/bi/whatever phobia is bad, it’s all bad, but these days you need to watch every word you say lest you want to get banned. Calm down, don’t ban people over jokes that in your eyes are tasteless.

  Yeah, this WILL be abused, inspite all good intentions that they might talk about

  So the obvious question here: is there a defederated toktok and instagram out there?

  Yet they’ll brick your TV. Whatcha gonna do? A class action suit? Yay, get 30 dollars back 5 years from now. Worth it!

  Don’t buy Roku, ever again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku Issues a Mandatory Terms of Service Update That You Must Agree To or You Can't Use Your Roku | Cord Cutters News⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, was considering buying a Roku TV, ain’t ever going to happen now.

  For those being happy that valve is in this position, don’t. Any company that gets into a monopoly position, accidentally or not, will turn. Google too had “do no evil” in their manifest, until they didn’t
