My experience with microsoft's ads for linux.
(protosparky.uk)
Hey y'all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft.
5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up.
Yes, that's a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don't sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.
I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.

Hope y'all are having a great day :3
That's weird. I don't get the prompt at all, but I do have a button in the lower left corner that says "Sign In." Maybe it's because I'm on Windows 11?
Maybe because you already sold your soul?
If by that you mean connected my computer account to a Microsoft account, nope, I did no such thing.
Maybe already using Windows could be enough for Hades.
lol Hades is greek.
Yeah, I know. But "what does greek mythology say about using windows" would have been less funny.
