i don't get this on mine

windows 10 is confusing, I don't even know what goes on in it anymore

cortana can't be disabled, creators updates, windows 10 s, minions in the start menu

like a big piece of adware doing shit you don't even know

this happens to any piece of tech that pajeet gets his dirty hands on.

Same thing comes up a couple times a month for me on my work computer

how do i enable the lock screen jokes

ffs

if they are going to push commie propaganda, at least they should post things that matter

Switch to linux for a non-SJW OS.

They're telling you what you can major in if you want to avoid women. They are doing a great service.

How does this even happen?
I have never seen this on my Win10 computer.

free software is a political movement, outreachy and debian send their regards

hmm

I don't get this shit, or any of the other adware shit for that matter. I know it must happen to people, but what causes it to happen/not happen? Why is 10 so inconsistent in how it applies its' malicious features?

lockscreen settings choose windows spotlight
why anyone has this enabled is beyond me but i guess that's just Sup Forums these days

I haven't used windows in 4 years and I tend to forget how invasive it was.

Sometimes I think about going back but then I remeber it's just nostalgia because everything I use has webapps on muh cloud or a linux port.

I was thinking about spinning up a sandboxed w7 but since it's going to be EOL it would just be a waste.

I expect ReactOS to be ready by then so that's a positive.

Yes, one that many socialists don't understand how it actually promotes libertarianism and capitalism rather than their shitty Marxism.

FOSS doesn't support libertarianism nor capitalism. Literally how many mental hoops do you have to jump through to believe such? LOL

Learning political science from trendy websites and vlogs is pretty popular in Sup Forums as it seems

free software, an idea that empowers users and not communities, doesn't promote capitalism.
"open source" doesn't necessarily promote capitalism and really is anathema to capitalism's supposedly proper way of functioning

This is like the "why so serious" of tech. I never knew it got this bad, last windows I touched was 7. Who let this happen?

this 100%

>wake up every morning
>new lockscreen wallpaper
that's why I have it enabled and that's why I put up with its shit, as retarded as it sounds
I just wish there were a way to disable those annoying "tips" from the registry

You can have a million different programs that do that (and also change your desktop too), and let you customize source.
Bing wallpapers are always mediocre worse than flickr tier.

Don't mind him, he's just trying to rationalize why he supports FOSS and hold capitalistic views in contrast to all his comrades.

taught me not to bother with reasoning with a Sup Forumsack again

Why do you think communists on Sup Forums are so sensitive?

turn this off

because you didn't disable lock screen advertising

why is Sup Forums so insensitive that they never shut up?

thank you goyim

Since 10 is a botnet and all, if I happened to have some illegal content on my machine, would Microsoft ever take action?

>insensitive
insecure*

yes

all of our cp loli posters use windows

kys

Yes. Especially if you live in the US, you are fucked. They copy each file on your harddrive and store it to their server.

Well, looks like I have some completely unrelated business to tend to.

No, the NSA and CIA already know about it. Microsoft doesn't need to worry about it.

really thoughtful and considered responses lads

...

>cries about Sup Forums the entire thread
>REALLY GREAT ARGUMENTS GUYS LIKE TOTALLY GREAT WOW UGH

They also collect your keystrokes if you enable Cortana. So even if you encrypt your "files" and decide to access it, they will still know about it. Windows10 is a malware by definition.

>the entire thread
furthermore while i argued clearly why foss doesn't promote capitalism and the responses i got were, in order, "actually the complete opposite is the truth" with no backing up, "thanks goy" and "kys"

>They also collect your keystrokes if you enable Cortana.
How do I encrypt my keystrokes?

You can disable them and keep the wallpapers

why come here if you are this easily triggered?

Install gentoo

People need to stop treating inequality like it's a bad thing and just accept that people are different, society is living together despite our differences, not trying to force everyone to conform to 1 ideal. Women don't need to be in stem, don't get me wrong and assert that I'm saying they can't or shouldn't be in stem, I'm saying that if women are naturally not inclined to be interested in, and/or perform well in stem fields, then what's the sense in trying to force them into it? Just to satisfy a number? How about we let people live the way they want to live, let it be complacent, don't try to steer(see:prey on) women into something they might hate just because some people think diversity is 1:1. More importantly, even if the cause was justified, this is not how you go about it, affirmative action only further marginalizes the already marginalized, luckily in this case nobody is marginalized, everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed in this field.

I'm also sick of seeing male success getting turned into "male privilege" just because its the only rational explanation when you believe we're all supposed to be equal, in reality we just aren't, and that's fine. There's plenty of things women are often better at then men and nobody complains about it because it's insane to do so. We're all different and we need to stop rejecting this, it divides us so easily. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each other, without egotism, is the only way to get along, recognizing these things is the only way to interoperate and work together as an actually diverse team/society.

I'm beyond sick of this shit.

foss promotes capitalism by being a generally viable and usable alternative, forcing paid software to step up their effort in the servicing side of developing software to make their price tag worth it.

why do we need to spoon feed you economics, it is simple shit.

>trying to have an honest debate on 2017 Sup Forums

I wish there were more women in STEM so I would have QT's to hit on at work and in class. Literally one girl out of a class of 25 engineering students graduated with the same bachelors as me. There are maybe 3 girls in my classes for my masters. In the few years I worked between my bachelors and my masters I met exactly 7 women that were in engineering/project management roles in that industry.

part of the problem

>Windows 10 is professional malware disguised as an operating system
>SteamOS is kinda DOA and with it my dreams of playing computer entertainment programs without having to pay the Microsoft Jew

>foss promotes capitalism by being a generally viable and usable alternative, forcing paid software to step up their effort in the servicing side of developing software to make their price tag worth it.
the absolute mental gymnastics

It literally doesn't matter when intel and amd can do just that without the help of microshaft and without showing up in muh task manager.

Well said.

>people should be free to live how they choose
WHAT ARE YOU HITLERS NAZI BRIGADE?!

Not an argument

Replying to copypasta is Not an Argument? Well said.

Replies are not upvotes, I hate you people so much.

>copypasta
I only posted it once before and I'm going to keep posting it every time I see this dumb bullshit.

Who let the spastic onto the computer?

>everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed in this field
This is actually not true.

The premise of the argument you're regurgitating is that there aren't more women in tech simply because there aren't more women naturally inclined to pursue it.

The conclusion -- a valid conclusion given the premise -- is that we should let these women do as they're naturally inclined to do rather than pressure them into tech.

The premise is false. The lack of women in tech is indeed due to a lack of inclination among their gender, but this distinct lack of inclination is NOT natural in origin.

>Like what you see?

I think that's more likely to get girls not to go into computing.
If I saw the same thing talking about nursing I'd say fuck that.

I disagree, you'll have to convince me if you think it's worth your time.

>This is actually not true.
The barrier of entry is not only low but it's continually dropping. Almost everyone in the modern world has access to a computer and the internet, resources to learn are free, tools needed are free, and employment opportunities are also free and plentiful. If you want to work in this industry there is 0 excuses.

A computer program does not discriminate, a textbook does not discriminate, and your employer legally can't.

What do you feel prevents anyone, not only women, from entering this industry? I don't see how sex plays a role at all, if anything I think today there is a greater bias for minorities and women, if anything they have more opportunity in a way that's not fair or equal but there is still a big enough demand for everyone who meets standard qualifications.

did you just assume my gender?

:thinks:

What are some good books to read on social engineering? Seems interesting.

>If you want to work in this industry there is 0 excuses.
Except years of social conditioning since birth. but y'know, little things!

>y'know
No, I don't, feel free to give your opinion and stance on the matter, it's only what I'm asking for, your reasoning for thinking this way. Explain how this so called conditioning is affecting these people who are not employable and how it is not their lack of merit which is to blame. The people I see working in this industry all have the same mindset, it's irrelevant to their skin and gender, they all have the same goals, ideals, and drive, likewise those who complain about it are the same, they attribute their failure to everyone but themselves and are not willing to put forth effort. The difference I see is not sex or skin, but lack of worth and initiative.

I don't really. I did what I came here to do: I broke down your strawman and pointed out the actual point of disagreement here between the two perspectives on the matter. Now you know what belief it is that you actually disagree with: not the belief that people should be forced against their natural inclinations to satisfy some kind of balance, which is an absurd belief that no one actually holds; but the belief that people CURRENTLY ARE being forced against their natural inclinations and that's the source of the imbalance in the first place. Personally I think that. But whether or not it's actually true is irrelevant; the point is that now that you know that's what you're up against, there's some chance of actual intelligent debate on the matter, which I believe I'll sit out, because as much as I respect actual intelligent debate, I'm not fond of it. I'd rather shitpost.

I'll let this person do it instead: (The)

>The people I see
This isn't an argument. Feel free to try again. Studies have shown over and over again women feel unsafe in various workplaces and are severely underpaid.
Studies from birth demonstrate females are overwhelmingly encouraged to take traditional roles.
But, none of that matters because "people I see...". Typical MRAs.

>this distinct lack of inclination is NOT natural in origin.

That's your a priori position, supported by nothing whatsoever. Thousands of years of human history appear to disagree in general terms.

Man I don't know why I even try, people like you are insufferable, if you're being genuine or otherwise. Fuck this whole discussion, I'm killing myself by years end anyway, who cares what happens to this industry or any other one. You'll have an opportunity to fill my position, better not fuck it up.

see: >I'd rather shitpost.
thanks anyway

>hasty generalizations
wew lad

see:

Insufferable cunts? On my internet?

the fuck i literally dont get this either

creators update with classic shell

We all read your post lad. It wasn't that interesting to begin with. No need to keep embarrassing yourself by pointing to it.

e

What's the point in making bad posts on purpose?

see: >>I'd rather shitpost.
>thanks anyway
in other words the point is to continue to express that the only reason i responded in the first place was to clarify what the actual argument is that people on my side of the table believe and i now leave it to whoever else to actually defend that position because i don't feel like it

fuck off that wasn't me

I didn't ask for your blog, I asked why people do that on purpose.

>to continue to express that the only reason i responded in the first place was to clarify what the actual argument is that people on my side of the table believe and i now leave it to whoever else to actually defend that position because i don't feel like it

Nobody cares, if you have an answer to the question go ahead, otherwise take it to twitter.

>I expect ReactOS to be ready by then so that's a positive.
You should work as a comedian, user

How narcissistic/paranoid do you even have to be to assume a general question is directed at you specifically?

I wonder what their intention is.
