Hah. That is all. Hah! Thankfully we don’t have to deal with that 👍

Yeah, Xbox ads popped up on my mom's laptop recently.
Fixed by removing the "Xbox" component that came with W11, wtf. Something else to remove by default

Raise your hand, if you never had kwallet (or similar) put a popup over a game. 😉

that's so scummy, windows can't stay the standard for much longer with this bullshit surely
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

ads like that would annoy me. Makes me glad I’m a Mac, Linux and PlayStation guy 🙃
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

actually had something similar pop up on a work computer. Very professional #Microsoft

Hopefully suggested notifications stay off...

this tweet is very very true, I watched a streamer on Twitch and he also got this right in the middle of his game, and even read it aloud to us

At this point we should call it a DerangedSoft Windows, because they are clearly deranged if they think that abusing their customers like that is fine

How do I wish Linux didn't suck so we all could finally break this abusive relationship...

pov: You own a legitimate copy of Windows 11 and still get ads (you just paid to still be the product)

@eragon @mixaill my much older posts were followers only, as they were posted automatically and the Mastodon Social admins sent out a complaint email warning me and others posting them as public

But for a good while all my posts have been manual and public, not followers only.

unfortunately, Bungie will ban you for trying to run Destiny 2 on Linux. Debatable tradeoff.
in reply to Wilhelm

@Wbud no, they won’t. Why do people still spread that?

The only people they banned were people who worked around their anti-cheat, which was a big well obviously and happened quite a long time ago.

They just don’t let Linux users in by default it’s blocked, no bans.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Being banned is in their official documentation:

"Players who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban."

I apologize, I incorrectly assumed that you understood my original reply to mean "try, troubleshoot, and successfully run."

Simply trying and failing does not get you banned, but I don't think there's an explicit warning about troubleshooting and successfully getting the game running causing a ban.

in reply to Wilhelm

@Wbud you can only successfully run it, by explicitly working around the anti-cheat - a ban would be obvious
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Happy to see I'm not the only one, happened to me as well ! Does anyone have a good way to run Fusion 360 on Linux so I can finally let go of my Windows partition ?
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Yeah I had the same thing happen the other day. Popped up, lost control of my mouse, almost died. Great times. Good plan MS, really pushes me to invest in the MS ecosystem of bullshit.
