Again, you're kinda right.
You don’t blame victims of elaborate scams for being victims.
No, of course not. But we're talking about MS here. A quasi-monopolistic company that exactly does what one would expect it to do. Exploit, change, modify, extort, whatever.
Consumers need to be protected, but one could at least expect a minimum amount of responsibility for their actions. I hate Apple with all my heart, but there's actually an equally clicky-simply solution: Apple. The same shit, just even more walled and a tad more expensive. Or Ubuntu. Both simple, easy, colorful alternatives. Or stay with MS and use Libreoffice and store your shit LOCALLY goddamit, to remain adjacent to the article here.
And If i were to spend my time on a non-profit (or anything else), I invest a tiny bit of research before choosing things. Time invested in research prior to decisions results in less time troubleshooting later. Especially(!) if we were talking about CLOUD-space where I store my stuff. And even more especially if that data is important.
Sure, it'll be great if MS could get forced to, but my argument would still remain untouched.
Oh that's an absolutely free choice. Learn or dont. But you wouldn't hear me complaining for laws to protect me from an evil carmaker that made an evil car that I bought. I educate myself or just accept to potentially be fucked over.
Yeah right, exactly. And when my car does something stupid, who is to blame? Me or the manufacturer? I clearly bought the stupid feature willingly. I'm not 12 anymore.
