Download video game for free

Default search engine DOESN'T change because I was using the Free and Open Source™ operating system, GNU/Linux
- Or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux + Dogpile + AltaVista + AOL
  
  So many toolbars while in reality you need only one...
  
  spoiler
  
  What am I looking at..
  
  That brings back memories
- Surely the default search engine in internet explorer in your prefix would have changed.
- Download security update for free

  Default search engine changes because of reasons. Money reasons. Money reasons fueled by the product (user).
- It is real. Enormous dickeroo energy.
I looove CMD windows popping up at boot 😍😍
- AMD's auto updater does this. But it pops up and closes instantly so I have no idea if it's actually working or just crashing.
  
  Same thing with ASUS's AURA software
  
  Mine does this but sometimes hangs until I close it myself lol
- It freaks me out every time I see it on my rig with the damn bloated ass drivers now.
  
  I'm supposed to be clean. But it feels like computer herpes.
  
  In reality 2/3 or more of the world population has it, but nobody wants to admit or believe they do despite science saying differently lol.
  
  Uhh I don't have it
  
  Are you sure you're thinking of herpes or are you maybe thinking of HPV? Iirc most sexually active people have HPV since so many people are asymptomatic (however the vaccine is I think the only vaccine that boasts 100% prevention, I may not be wording that properly though)
One time pirated some video editing software and after rebooting my Steam had janky early 2000s sidebar ads.
- I got porn adverts on roblox ☹️
  
  so... just default Roblox then?
One time when I was a teenager, I somehow downloaded exactly the wrong porn and then my login screen background and windows xp startup splash screen all got replaced with a Debian logo.
- Isn't this an improvement?
  
  Nothings a improvement over windows xp not even Linux
Have you tried Bing lately?
- Fuck, I remember when I was using Bing religiously unironicaly in the early 2010s during my Extremist Microsoft Loyalist phase.
  
  Loyalism, sure... We all know what's the only reason to use Bing.
  
  Windows Phone's UI is a hill I will die on, it was really nice! I actively missed it for a while when switching.
- I love using Microsoft Edge on my GNU/Linux machine. I actually tried switching to Google as the search engine, but Microsoft Edge said it would be sad if I switched, so for the sake of Microsoft, I decided that I'd stay with Bing forever. I love giving my personal information to Copilot so that it can generate an interview application for me in my local fast food shops such as Mcdonalds, KFC, Burger King, etc. God bless Microsoft, best company ever!!! /s
  
  I mean Microsoft will pay you to use them to search for porn
  
  I’ve never even checked whether it’s available outside of windows. Is… is this actually possible?
  
  It's pretty good. Or atleast it was. I think with ai it'll become worse.
- When my work colleague opens his Edge browser it always shows a page with "news" and ads. Bro... I always think of that IT crowd episode where the guy says "if this were a person, I'd shoot it in the face".
  
  That's just the default new tab page on edge
- The bing homepage is so terrible
  
  I had a friend that used microsoft edge and bing because they were the default and said that firefox is the worst and edge is much better
  
  I did switch his default browser to firefox and search engine(on edge) to google(i wanted to switch to duckduckgo, but he hated it for no reason) while he was talking
  
  Can confirm. Even though everyone shits on Chrome for its liberal use of your RAM, Firefox will never suspend any pages, making it unusable when you're multitasking.
  
  That's an ongoing issue, too! Hasn't been fixed for maybe a year at this point. Gonna use edge the next time I reinstall windows.
- DuckDuckGo is pretty nifty
- I actually use Ecosia, which is just privacy Bing that plants trees and rebuilds ecosystems.
- I keep clicking on that irritating Copilot AI button because Bing crammed it right in front where the image search tab usually is, and there's no way to hide/turn it off. Nice
  
  You could probably block it using the element picker tool in ublock origin
Anyone here remember "The Sweet Page"?
- What is that?
  
  It was this browser. Typical spyware stuff for the time. For some reason I always managed to get it on my computer when I was younger.
Good old conduit search
ah this brings back memories
- The first time I fucked the family PC
  
  but not the last
