Why is Microsoft trying to social engineer me?

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

>>62240758

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?

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

>>62241064
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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

>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.

>>62242033

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

>>62242230
>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.

>>62242117
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.

>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.

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