A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The difference is that these programs are not preinstalled. They are shortcuts to install said program.
Which you can click away in a matter of seconds and never encounter them ever again, even after updates.
Did you also know there is an option to disable suggested apps, which removes every and all notifications you may consider ads?
Did you disable it, or do you like complaining too much?
Oh I have it disabled. Pretty much among the first things I do with any new windows install is disable and uninstall as much bullshits as microsoft preloads. It gets pretty annoying though how much there is you have to opt out of. I also like complaining about them so you’re not too wrong there.
At least they are still better than samsung in that regard who preload facebook on their phones as a system app thereby preventing the user from uninstalling it.
Most distros have a whole app that shows you recommendations for programs to install.
