AVs were in bed with antipiracy groups and Big Tech before it was even called Big Tech.
We know what things like this can and will be used for.
CLEAR FIREWALL ENTRIE MURUS LITE CODE
Those of us who have been in this for a while may remember a time when a lot of Windows AVs would classify binaries compiled with GCC as suspicious or even quarantine/delete them, while those compiled with MSVC from the exact same source code were fine.
We've already gotten disturbingly close to that reality: Don't like something that your competitor does? Implement restrictions in the OS, and then when your competitor finds a way around that, start calling it "malware" and detecting and deleting it. They realised they could start calling everything they don't like "malware", that doing so would convince many if not all users, and thus found another way towards becoming the eventual arbiters of truth. It's not about "acceptance", unless it's about the increasing acceptance of authoritarianism - because after all, it's really about control of the platform. I think it’s interesting how long it took for the industry to accept that it’s really the OS’s responsibility to protect against malware and viruses. "Need to fix something os-related", looks through new control panel. Some things better, but with a mix of old. But adding that if something is a decade old compared to Windows, I consider windows to not have had any consistent improvements since Windows XP. I wasn't commenting so much on the previous post about Windows vs MacOS. Ship buoyancy and all that.Īh, I think I understand my misunderstanding. But, at that point, there is zero incentive to use something so clunky, when you can use linux/gnome and have a much, much, more enjoyable experience.Īgain, everyone to each theirs. The only saving grace it has for technical productivity is WSL2.
CLEAR FIREWALL ENTRIE MURUS LITE PROFESSIONAL
Updates are annoying and I'm glad I don't have do do anything professional on Windows. It's slow at start for no good reason (likely due to telemetry, or other online stuff). Just that whenever I use Windows and want to do OS related things, it all feels clunky and annoying. I honestly do not care about anything related to flame wars. ^ I thought this made it clear I was referring to Windows? "I'd say Windows is a decade behind gnome."
