@gamingonlinux Das Einzige, was imho M$ respektiert, ist den eigenen Kontostand.

@gamingonlinux well you have the freedom not to use windows* ;-)

* for now (-:

@gamingonlinux

@gamingonlinux Sure "user freedom" like unable to stop downloading the forced updates even when on metered connection.

@gamingonlinux when compared to Apple they are. But thats just setting the bar too low.

@gamingonlinux :KEKW:

@gamingonlinux Good ol' Tim Sweeney...

@gamingonlinux Tim smoking some good stuff and not sharing it with us.

@gamingonlinux stop this world, I want to get off of it! What's next?
Oh, I know!
"Congratulations to "X", for always being fully transparent and supporting every different philosophy without any type of censorship or bias, unlike Mastodon and Lemmy!"

@gamingonlinux can't even be surprised that it's Tim Sweeney saying that.

@gamingonlinux JFC

@gamingonlinux
well ofc. you're free to be used by microsoft :)

@gamingonlinux The freedom to have Candy Crush pre-installed on your system

@gamingonlinux The freedom to use Windows without a Microsoft account. Oh, wait...

@gamingonlinux The degree of self-sucking is astounding and deeply mathematical.

@gamingonlinux Funny. I remember sitting in court during EU v Microsoft watching Andrew Tridgell quietly and politely demolish their case with a copy of samba and a small embedded board.

Then MS got better, then they got worse again. They don't just screw over developers now though, they go around banning xbox users for images autosaved of a game that they approved for xbox, they've got minecraft servers having to run anti-ms-snooping mods and their security response now sucks.

@gamingonlinux Tim Sweeney

@gamingonlinux Microsoft respecting user freedom? Let me uninstall edge and turn off all the bing/copilot/telemetry then we can talk

@gamingonlinux It's easy to be seen as a user freedom respecting company when the metric you are comparing yourself against is Apple...

@gamingonlinux They’re both partners in egregious and predatory monetisation, so they will stick up for each other. 🤣

@gamingonlinux youarefreetogototheappstore

@gamingonlinux The Embrace, Extend, Extinguish masters are of course cheered on by the Epic boss. Well, it's good he took a pause from pusing the crypto games on the Epic store.

@gamingonlinux ...Sharp contrast? Then why are they the same color as those companies?

#bigtech #Microsoft

@gamingonlinux This dude has always been a suck-up.

@gamingonlinux

Well they kinda respect it in comparison to apple. Not because microsoft is not evil, but because apple is so insanely terrible about it that literally whatever will be better

@gamingonlinux Tim should respect user freedom and finally release Unreal and Unreal Tournament source codes. Cmon Quake already did this.

@gamingonlinux well yes, they are not preventing one to "not" choose one of their products...

but why do most of the computers still come with Windows by default then?

@gamingonlinux Devil's Advocate: I'm sure he means it as a relative term

@gamingonlinux much lolz! Fucking delusional.

@gamingonlinux Developer freedom at Microsoft be like “Put an AI chatbot in Notepad or you’re fired!”

@gamingonlinux I speak Sweeney let me translate: “Microsoft doesn’t charge us fees for our Micro transactions so we make more money so I like Microsoft more ..”

@gamingonlinux Imagine thinking Microsoft has a good 50 year record on any kind of good development, this person has never used Azure cloud or O365 in their entire life... my bad, "Microsoft Entra" or whatever the hell is called nowadays.

@gamingonlinux The user freedom to be forced to create a Microsoft account on windows 11. Right.

@gamingonlinux It offered me the ultimate freedom to `dd` my drive and install Linux. I call that freedom.

@gamingonlinux Any time I see some tech bro cheering on a multi-billion dollar corp for anything, all I can think is: "Hope she notices this message, bro."

@gamingonlinux Tim Sweeny is a such a clown.

@gamingonlinux
I only use Microsoft products when I’m coerced to. Like at work, where I cannot connect calendar or mail to our exchange server.

@gamingonlinux Definitely compared to Apple. Though if you’re worse at user freedom than Apple you’ve really got some problems lol.

@gamingonlinux wetdry.world when they see someone talking about tim sweeney in a serious manner

@gamingonlinux He's comparing a desktop OS to the two major mobile ones. To make this point, he must conveniently forget about Windows Phone in MS's history, which had similar policies as the App Store and Google Play. So you can scratch that 50-year track record.
