Stopped using notepad when they added co-pilot. Stop shoving AI down our throats.

Just disable Copilot?

Please show us the magic Windows settings that would disable Copilot everywhere.

At this point I'll just switch vendors.

I don't have the bandwidth to babysit all the different ways MSFT tries to break tools to bother using them.

Just disable recall, copilot, ai, intrusive cookies, ads.

It's not fine just because you sneak a button to (temporarily) get rid of it. Just make features worth enabling instead.

In my experience, most of these features are just turned back on after a Windows update.

What happened to "just enable X if you need it"? Why are we always okay with every new thing being enabled by default?

Is it because the average person isn't as tech savvy as most (if not all) HN readers to know any better, and those companies want the headcount of usage to look high to please stakeholders?

Enshittification at its finest stink.

Here's an even crazier idea, don't click the Copilot button. WHOA.
