    Since Google is failing at Ads, my cousin Pedro is opening a brand new Taco and Ads shop! Need tacos and the knowledge of gods? Why not right? It’s better than my uncle’s engine, coffee, bananas and ads stand. Or my neighbor’s “Ads apples and diapers are us”.

    It’s open season on delivering ads. I only learned about my fictional cousin from the bottom of an almond milk carton. He was missing, now he’s got ads for you.

    Cool. I switched to Linux and no longer care about Microsoft’s BS. This continues to just reinforce that I made the correct decision.

      It’s honestly hard to find a reason not to switch anymore. I switched myself recently and once I get more comfortable with it, I am putting Linux on my kid’s computer as well.

      You do realize nobody but other Linux users care about this, right? In so tired of seeing people introduce Linux like none of us have ever heard about it.

      We are aware of the other operating systems, thank you.

        This is a comments section. And I commented. Sorry you don’t like it, but you’re welcome to scroll on by.

        I hope whatever OS you use works well for you. Even if it’s Windows.

    Someone mentioned while I was gaming yesterday and we were discussing Windows 11 and he said “just get an add blocker” and it blew my mind. Like why support a company that thinks “this” is the future? When there are alternatives.

      Bro, you really should get an ad blocker.

      As for windows ads, every single one I’ve seen referenced so far can be disabled in under a minute by toggling a setting.

    Ha, this click bait article won’t snag me! I’ve been paying attention the past 4 years; there IS ALWAYS something worse on the horizon. Only a fool would suspect otherwise these days.
