    For example, today I got a popup notification from Microsoft suggesting that I should install an xbox app.

    Ahh! If that’s the case you’ve come to the right place! I’ve been begrudgingly using Windows for 2 decades and I’ve found two utilities that help you disable 99% of that nagware.

    Using these 2 applications you can basically gut Windows down to nothing. You can also use Windows Update Blocker to completely disable Windows Update, so features aren’t added or re-enabled without you knowing about it. Make sure you enable “protect services settings!” This breaks winget, but I just pull the wub.exe up, enable updates, use winget, then re-disable updates. Only takes a second.

    Doing this will completely change your Windows experience.

    If you want to get even more crazy, you can do Windows 10/11 IoT which is a version of Windows designed for embedded devices (which still has windows enterprise level features, including telemetry disabled by default) which comes without a significant portion of the bullshit you get with consumer versions of Windows. Typically, you can selectively enable or install things it doesn’t have if you end up needing them, but I’ve never run into any issues.

    If you wanna give it a try you can download Windows 11 (26100.1742) IoT here, or Windows 10 (22H2) IoT here.

    I thought the driver came in the kernel.

    It entirely depends on the WiFi module. Some aren’t included.

    I am trying to use it wired

    Then this is even more suspicious considering DualSense is probably the most well-supported controllers on Linux, with an official Sony driver. Are you doing USB-A to USB-C? Or USB-C to USB-C? If it’s USB-C to USB-C is your USB-C hubs driver installed correctly? Try a different cable, specifically USB-A to USB-C. Try many different USB ports. You might have to specifically use a USB-A 2.0 port, and not 3.0/3.1/3.2 port.

    Some people mind. 🤷‍♂️ You do realize more people other than yourself exist in the world, right?

    I personally couldn’t care less. But I also recognize that CodeBerg has every right to police their own platform in whichever way they see fit. If they don’t want this kind of shit on their platform because their users disagree with it, then all the more power to them.

    Honestly lil bro, you lack emotional intelligence.

    In my experience winapps doesn’t work well enough to use for work. I had almost constant issues with it.

    I struggled like you for a long time until I found a happy medium. I have a folder on my C: drive called utilities. It’s been added to the %PATH%. In it, I have eget with a config for all my utilities for making Windows easier to use. I also have BusyBox for Windows.

    It emulates a good 90% of *nix utilities without having to deal with WSL (older environments) or doing anything extensive to your environment (corporate laptop friendly). I recommend you at least give it a try and see if it works for you.

    Here’s my ~/.config/eget.toml

    It’s nice because you can update everything by running eget --download-all.

    I’m skeptical. Citizen Lab is great, but just because they didn’t reply doesn’t mean these issues weren’t worked on or fixed. They tested 8.59.2 and the current US version is 8.59.5 with the current Chinese version being 8.70.6.

    There’s been dozens of updates since the test, so it’s hard say if these test are even valid anymore. Additionally;

    Network attackers can read users’ file a contents on the Android versions of the application available for download on RedNote’s website and on the Mi Store, but not in the version downloaded from the Google Play Store or the iOS version.

    The major security issue isn’t even possible as long as you get them directly from the Play Store.
