Hm. Interesting. Even if I run some PowerShell thing I found from Github that debloats my Windows 11, Mircosoft will still have the ability to train AI models on my computer's files? Is there any way I can stop this?

i don't know. every use-case is slightly different. i'd take that question up with the developers of the plugin you're using.

What plugin?

Even if you do debloat your system, Microsoft tends to add back and reinstall things without the user's consent. Using Windows is basically accepting that you have no real control over your PC.

The only times that id ever use windows nowadays is to use something that just ISNT being nice with linux no matter what i do, and even then the app id need to use would prob be a one time use thing LMAO (if i knew how to run certain things on wine easily, life would be great...)

@jaidenle oh i know right! im still too much of a n00b to understand the terminal :P (from what i read, Wine is pretty much click and go once it's working tho)

@badgraph1csghost well, its mostly click and go, sometimes it just refuses to open some .exe's, maybe im using it wrong LMAO, but still, worth the effort getting it to work on linux first, and using windows as a last resort

Well written. Do you have a link that will all0w me to read more about these morality enforcement practices?

OMG SAME I'm obsessed with manuals

same hat! but also even outside of that pretendos lack of documentation is Really frustrating

It’s not the best…. I had to follow a guide on reddit and it seemed to work perfectly, meanwhile pretendo is SO VAUGE…. ;-;

RIGHT. i remmeber when it was officially out, everyone was excited but to me it was pure gibberish to figure out if it could be used for animal crossing or not, and i thought i was simply not 3ds nerd enough for it and having to join a discord is bad sign. im glad finally seeing someone point out the lack of documentation. i honestly have no idea if i did properly install it on my 3ds or not haha

@projectc190 me

thank yewww ^_^

OHHHH I just though nintendos friending thing still worked by itself, didn’t know I needed pretendo ;-; I’ll get it and try it :D

Hmmm, it seems that it gives me an “incorrect code” error…, did you set up a pretendo account? (Plus switching to pretendo through nimbus?)

i just played the n00b and looked it up online. the hacks wiki and pretendo docs both said you could link an existing NNID to pretendo so that's what i did.
