Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    If you install windows and set the language to be english (world), there will be no preinstalled BS apps like tiktok.

    Of course most people wont do that

    That’s so long as your install source/disk is multi regional. Most Windows install images are for a specific region unless you’re lucky to have MSDN or bought a non-crappy OEM Windows disk.

    A disk? What year is this?

    [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

    Please insert floppy disk #249 and press enter. _

    Wait, what are you talking about? Windows doesn't pre-install TikTok. Are you talking about OEM versions? Those come with a bunch of bloatware because they get paid by the companies to add their software to the install. If you get a copy of windows that's not attached to a pre-built computer, then it shouldn't have any bloatware. Granted, I haven't installed Windows 11, and don't plan to, so my knowledge could be dated.

    If you install windows 11 from a fresh usb right now, you'll find TikTok, Prime Video, Candy Crush, etc. in the start menu. They're technically not installed, more like "click to install". Iirc, windows 10 was more or less the same, but a bit less.

    [–] Numerol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I installed w11 today,there was no candy crush or tiktok or whatever. I had office,spotify,whatsapp,sudoku Legit download from the microsoft website...

    [–] crusty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

    I suppose it could differ by region. Spotify, WhatsApp, and sudoku are definitely paid placements

    The only one that doesn't have bloatware for money is MacOS. If Microsoft cared they would ban that.

    Before anyone says Linux doesn't have paid bloatware for money, Ubuntu had Amazon baked into for money. Additionally, many distros use Firefox that Google's pays to have Google be the default search engine.
