          Or not every single decision at a multi-trillion dollar company is driven exclusively by diversity? Why would you be looking to DEI efforts to fix this specifically? This is just not a logical leap at all. Complete non-sequitur.

          That’s even all setting aside that Windows is going to sell just fine and those ads are going to drive increased profits, so this isn’t even a bad thing from the MS perspective. DEI has a positive impact on things, but that doesn’t mean it magically solves all of your problems from the POV of the customer?

              It’s not fixing your pet issue, so it’s doing nothing? Cool, great argument. It’s like saying Doctors Without Borders didn’t repeal Citizens United, so they’re completely worthless. Genuine question, are you trolling? I would feel better for you if you were.

                Okay, how about causing issues with metered connections? They fucked over a lot of people in 3rd world countries who pay by the gig

                  Hey Kacboom, we know this makes you uncomfortable. It shouldn’t, though. And if it does, it’s not the fault of people who support DEI. This is really a thing that affects you personally, and you should work on figuring out why that is. Imagine how free your life would feel if you didn’t have to worry about things like this all the time.
