Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the Settings app.

This will likely arrive in the July update for Windows 11, or at least it’s almost certain to do so. It was present in the latest preview update Microsoft just released for the OS (and quickly paused due to a bug, but that’s another story). It’s also worth noting that the ad has been present in earlier test versions of Windows 11.

I've been called a sovereign citizen

Political operatives on socials use this as a smear when they can't counter with a reasonable, factual argument.

"Ohh you don't wan to submit to some corpo/state's idiotic policy, what are you a sovereign citizen"

No, just an adult person who pays taxes and has common sense

I don't think these people are a "real" imho

Some were standing before me, but TBH they likely had acquaintances working in one government embezzling money.
