Just install Linux, preferablely Fedora with KDE because of sane default settings.
If you want LLM you can just install LMStudio which supports all sorts of local models without compromising privacy.
Should rename it to Stowaway because it’s an uninvited passenger.
They have AI in f-ing Notepad now??
That’s nothing. They have AI in the snipping tool.
They put a diffusion model in MS paint
It’s not just any Notepad, it’s “Microsoft’s 365 Ai-Enhanced Notepad+++ Pro Edition (New Version)”. Unlike every other notepad software, this one sucks.
Kate is still better, and Nano ftw.
(Kidding. Unless you’re just editing kotor.ini so you don’t have to run around with an ugly yellow lightsaber)
(Well Kate is still better than notepad.)
It’s a Notepad series X Copilot experience.
Why would the remove the main thing that coded Winslop 11 and handles all the updates for it?
Didn’t they shove branded fucking Copilot keys down laptop OEMs and consumers’ throats? Sounds like a lot of momentum to have to pivot away from. Momentum that literally every able-brained individual on the planet was pushing back on. Eat shit and die Microslop.
Those aren’t even real keys. Pressing it sends a hardcoded hotkey combination of some modifier keys and F12 and then immediately releases them. Not only is the key worthless, you can’t even revert it back to being usable as right control.
It’s Win + Shift + F23
So I assume, at least on Linux, you could bind it to do something else? You just couldn’t also use the win (meta) or shift modifiers with it. Most keyboards don’t have an F23, so it’s not like it’s conflicting with that. Still stupid though.
Thanks for the correction!
Yeah they did. Seeing it on modern laptops fills me with even more hate than I already had.
Also had to setup a new Lenovo laptop recently and even something as simple as a Wifi driver refused to work on Win 10, had to install 11 for it to work lmao. Oh and the power buttons are often in the wrong fucking place, on the side of the laptop, like on phones. It’s insane

Well at least it’s not a regular keyboard key in the top right of the Numpad like on my work Dell, I already shut down my computer twice by accident:
It has a Copilot key of course, but I’m mostly using it docked with an external keyboard by now
I’ve seen the power button not even in the corner. I think it was an HP omen that had the power button where your calculator button is
Obviously it’s a marketing issue. BA ha ha ha.
Our president has renamed himself to Ronald. Therefore all past misdeeds by whatever the name of the last guy was are pardoned.
That’s OK. I only have to deal with it at work, and they have it disabled with whatever enterprise group policy or management tools they’re using.
group policy editor is a godsend, I refuse to touch anything but pro/enterprise versions of windows now bc of that
Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of Nix
It has something like group policy? (Serious question)
NixOS is managed entirely using config files and options (which are even used to install programs)
Never heard of it, I’m all ears
Pro doesn’t have access to all group policy options, in case you weren’t aware.
Oh, I guess im too enterprise pilled to notice, thanks
They don’t sell those to just any one though do they
Buying a windows license is stupid, just pirate ltsc and enjoy an unfucked version of it
I might have paid for LTSC if they made it available for retail sales.
How is this Oniony?
Its not. Microsoft never said they would remove ai, the said thry would msje it purposeful. Hell, even the article says as much but clickbait is gonna clickbait
Unpopular opinion: tech-savvy forum users are much more hostile towards the integration of AI than your average idgaf-how-but-i-want-to-get-this-task-done-quickly-and-without-much-effort-employee.
The thing about that is, it doesn’t work.
Even enterprise Claude, even if you’re doing something routine, is still going to need shitloads of “fixing”.
The problem is that the vibe coders who doesn’t know wtf they’re doing isn’t going to know that there’s problems. They’re going to give the prompt, get something back. Try it. “Huh it doesn’t work!” And try it again.
Maybe they’re smart enough to figure out what the error is, get something new back, try it… find out it doesn’t work….
You see how that goes? Someone who’s experienced knows what they can pull from libraries and what they need to tweak to get it running, and don’t need it.
Guess whose code is going to be more stable and more effective with fewer vulnerabilities?
It’s a liability time bomb, and the reason tech savvy people are more hostile to it is because they’re the ones who know its capabilities.
Even more unpopular: beyond a certain skill level AI starts to look like a feature again too.
But it’s windows so there’s no saving that turd no matter how much you polish it at this point.
Regardless of skill level for-profit GenAI/LLM AI has a terrible economical (funding focus), political (regulatory capture), social (dataset clean up, PR floods on FLOSS projects, spam & scam) and ecological (GPU deprecation pace, data centers) impact.
So… even if somehow a person is so skilled they finally find good use for models hosted by Anthropic, OpenAI, etc then unfortunately they can’t disentangle it from all the negative externalities.
Another negative is liability.
Let’s say your org providing, idunno, coding to control illumination for a smart facility.
Let’s say the lighting doesn’t work, and as a result some one slips and dies. Let’s say it’s 50/50 of the code is at fault or not.
Your org is now looking at liability in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Even if you can argue that it was being used wrong, it’s still going to cost your org more than it would have to pay some one who’s a proper coder to do it.
So what about the renaming of Office to Co-pilot? Microsoft is so confused. Or truly trying to make 2026 the year of Linux.
