Tested: Microsoft just debloated Windows 11 Search without Bing, and it's crazy fast

a day ago by sanitation to c/technology

Windows 11 build 26300.8697 hides a toggle to remove Bing from Search. We tested it hands-on: faster results, cleaner UI, local files first.

Who gives a fuck? If you still use microslop, you are part of the problem.

It's nearly ubiquitous in the workplace. A lot of people don't have much of a choice.

Still, they are part of the problem. Not as big as their corporate IT or responsible manager, but still a part.

Me getting paid - and therefore eating and paying rent - requires me to use the mandated OS on the company-provided gear. It's a great job, it has a great union retirement package that won't leave me destitute like my folks and anyone else who went through abject poverty, and in all I accept that trade-off while working to modernize us out of M$. So maybe moderate that crusade a bit before you enter the workforce?

You are reading a "I condemn you" where there isn't one into "you are part of the problem".

If I participate to an economy which exploits third world countries for quality of life and luxury, then even if I do not have a choice, I am part of the problem.

Becoming all defensive about it however suggests that you actually don't give a fuck about using an operating system operated by a fascist enabling corporation, while looking for excuses that it's "not your fault".

As someone who runs Linux on all of his own computers, you're part of many more problems. Grow up.
