Updates in Linux are not random third party scripts you find online, why are you spreading this lie?
You go into your app store/software centre and click update. To the user, this is all they see.
If you want to feel like a hacker, or find it quicker, you can open a terminal run sudo dnf update or whatever. That’s still not a random third party script, though.
Lol you’re arguing like you’re an expert but only providing instructions for… what, fedora and rhel? And saying that running your package manager from the command line is to “feel like a hacker?” What a laugh. Fun fact there’s a range of distros that don’t have proper UIs for their package manager, and the vast majority don’t use dnf.
What exactly do you think is inside of those packages? Who made those scripts? You’re running those scripts as root. Is that safe?
Not as bad as google, but yeah they have a tendency to overstep. The only way to make settings stick is the traditional way, which is the group policy editor. Settings there usually stick for 20-30 years
Normally they’d say this and then change it again. That’s pretty much how every “feature” they’ve added to their OS and it is becoming a little too bloaty.
Well if you’re in fact a woman or x, very unexpected. The vast majority of women either have been raped or know someone close to them who has been raped, and would not compare anything Microsoft is doing to raping a person. It boggles the mind.
If you’re in fact an older man, you should grow up and do better, and stop comparing Microsoft sending some innocuous telemetry to sexual assault.
That’s literally what Linux updates are
Anyway if you read the article it’s opt in and fully removable.

0/10 bait
Bait…at what? What exactly do you think I want from the person I’m responding to other than to make fun of their delusions?
Do you know what is in every script you run as root?

Till they change their mind again. Ms in my experience also really like to disregard your settings

They update, this third party script is to make windows less rapey
