The text is a rants about windows privacy settings snd it reads as: I'm setting up a new work laptop and finding out all the sneaky ways Microsoft tries to embed Edge as your default for every single file type. FYI last one is in Outlook options advanced, file & browser preferences. it doesn't believe you anywhere else. they owe me 40 mins of my life back and I like how if you search for Google Chrome on Edge, the whole first page is "you don't need Google Chrome - Edge is just as good. Edge can do anything. Get Edge Today. Edge - it's all you need. Edge will save your life. Download Edge here. Oh you're already on Edge? Here is how to get Edge"

This battle was lost a long time ago. There is no going back to sane defaults. Data collection is now the primary goal of paid and free products. You don’t own anything, and you will be happy. Of course, you can still use privacy-enabled products at home, but those options are limited, and not all your apps will be available. https://bsky.app/profile/ahhmandah.bsky.social/post/3kzambh5yhk2z
