Windows 11 Insider builds are now auto-launching Copilot when you boot the OS, and it's gross and I hate it and stop it right now.

    So they have to be aggressive by automatically adding garbage nobody wants because otherwise people won’t bother activating said garbage they don’t want?

      No, because most people stick with the default option regardless.

        I’m just trying to understand my our point… You argue they have to do this because people won’t bother on their own… Then proceed to back your statement with an example where MS added garbage and people don’t bother or can’t figure to remove it…

        I mean, you and I known MS could simply ask… They don’t because they want that slide that says x many million users of Copilot…

          No.

          https://thedecisionlab.com/intervention/how-default-settings-doubled-organ-donation-rates-in-the-us https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3855900/ https://sparq.stanford.edu/solutions/opt-out-policies-increase-organ-donation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3458339/

          That’s the best known case, but it’s not limited to organ donation of course.

          they want that slide that says x many million users of Copilot…

          I didn’t argue with that.

            That doesn’t mean they can’t… At most it means is less advantageous for their goals… Screw the user
