for their most important menu in said operating system.
I'd argue that the start menu is almost irrelevant these days. I basically haven't used it since Windows 8, despite using windows every single day.
Weight preference next then I guess? crickets
Before too many more conspiracy theorists jump in - it looks like they're replacing encrypted DMs with "chat" where EVERYTHING is encrypted:

Lemmy instance admins don't even need a backdoor to read your "private" messages btw.
Why would they fall out of orbit?
If your nationwide fibre internet plan rollout was even half as bungled and bullshit as ours here in Australia, it must be a shitshow. It was used as a political pawn, with one party wanting to NOT finish it so they could use it to help get them re-elected endlessly, and the other party opposing it because it wasn't their idea, and pushing an alternative terrible plan that was far slower and far more expensive in the long term. In the end we got a terrible mix of both.
Tech companies don’t really give a damn what customers want anymore.
Most of the time customers don't know what they want until you give it to them though. People don't know they want something when they don't know it exists. A perfect example using AI - DLSS. Probably no one would have wanted their games to be rendered at a significantly lower resolution and then have AI recreate 3/4 of the pixels to get it back up to their regular resolution - yet when it came out it was one of the biggest game changers in gaming history, and is now basically universally agreed upon as the default way to do game development going forward.
And frankly, there’s nothing you can do to resist it
Vote with your wallet. Make your opinion known. If you're just a vocal minority then no, it likely won't make a difference - but if enough people do it, it will. More people need to understand that while they have an opinion, it might not be the majorities opinion and it might be "wrong".
I sincerely can’t believe that someone who claims to be on par with a doctor doesn’t even entertain the possibility that the content of an ad could be problematic on a sociological level. And that’s on top of misconstruing the point I was making.
Do you think that that article you linked is saying that the content of the ads are "hateful" or "problematic"? That's not what it's talking about. It's talking about showing normal ads near "hateful" content.
You mean the advertisers of big corporations who care about their brand image don’t like that, right doctor?
They only care when a bunch of idiots pretend that having an ad in the vicinity of something they don't like means that the brand supports the thing they don't like. They don't actually care, they just pretended to so they could essentially blackmail companies into pulling advertising dollars from Twitter so they could try and harm twitter.
Did you not realise that? Did you really think that it was just a coincidence that all of a sudden it became some giant issue just as elon musk bought Twitter?
Oh really? I can almost always tell because it’s obvious in breath, depth and consideration shown in of the replies. ... right doctor?
Love it - when you try to make fun of me when you think I'm "uneducated" and it falls flat on its face because I'm more educated than you, you then try to make fun of me for being more educated than you lol. Amazing.
You also didn't answer my question, while I answered yours. That's not very nice. What is your highest level of education and, if it was higher than high school, what was the area/qualification?
Hmm I wonder why....
Oh so you know? Why are you wondering then?
