Bold of you to assume you still get a desktop in between all the ads.

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago

It should be off in a corner or something. Not front and center where it's blocking the main ad.

Yeah, those ads are way to easy to ignore. Hopefully the working space randomly shifts tiles so your attention shifts periodically to the ads!

And you get jingles every few minutes that you can't turn down or mute.

Makes you sing and dance jingle into webcam.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you don't sing enthusiastically enough, your files are deleted.

Bruh… don’t give them ideas

[–] MumboJumbo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not only does it move, but it gets covered by an ad and it has to track your eyeballs on that tile for 5 seconds before it reveals the desktop. That way, you spend a minute watching ads looking for the real desktop.

You a m$ employee??

Yeah, as if the desktop was the product

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you use Windows, you are the product.

@Diplomjodler3 @Ophioparma finished building my PC proceeded with installing Windows 11. Realized my failure. Installed PopOS. Life is so much better now.
