fucking #microsoft, send down a #windowsupdate to my 79 yo Mum's computer - that after it installs shows a full screen unskippable wizard that scares the shit out of her. all so they can ask her to set edge back to the default browser and try and hock a 365 subscription at her. Wasting both our time for nothing she would ever want or need. fucking dark pattern ui, where the accept the subscription is the button and the decline is a hyperlink above it #darkpattern #anticonsumer #microslop
