Bloatynosy has now evolved into BloatynosyAI and it can disable AI features on Windows 11 or Microsoft Edge that a user may consider as bloatware. This new app works on Windows 10 as well.

    For me it is so weird, that you have to use extra tools to disable telemetry and unwanted features in windows systems. Why is windows not giving me a central option to decide on those things? Is it maybe because they do not want me to decide for myself and therefore splitting the places where I need to disable all that unwanted stuff as opaque as possible? Can they be more obvious that they do not value your opinion on how you want your OS to behave?

    Quit Windows. It is a dead end and get worst with every release.

    If you tolerate this, then your children will be next.

    I used to have a power shell script that a coworker gave me that would uninstall a huge number of services and apps on windows, change a bunch of config settings etc.

    I’ve always wished there were a way to roll out a stripped windows release as an open source project without getting sued.

    Can you imagine installing Windows and having to install 10 seperate programs just to fix all the issues with it?

          Because they’re the ones that constantly make a fuss and are overall holding back the computing world by supporting a malicious organization that has a choke hold.

          The people saying to switch to Linux are half-joking, half-serious. Sometimes we can be a little too pushy by bringing up “just switch to Linux” too often, but usually we have good intentions for at least trying to encourage the switch, and it often-times does come from a place of care.
