@superboom12s Welcome to the instance!

@superboom12s @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha I looked into it, and it can only be deleted if you build it from source and change the code ​​

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha Nah not the icon in the browser url bar.

Bit extreme for something so minor. Though, stupid shit like that really should be exposed through a configuration file instead of requiring recompilation.

Mad that Sharkey is the same for one of the settings on that as well.

@alex @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha

Thought for a moment you might've been using GNOME.

@alex @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha worse, windows ​​

@alex @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha Ah, hell nah, why would you even use Brave on your spyware OS? ​​

I hope for your sake at the very least that you're using the IoT Enterprise edition with all the group policies tuned to reduce as much of the telemetry as possible.

@alex @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha

@superboom12s @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha I... debloated it ​​

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha I did tune the policies yea, it is the pro win 11 though.

Problem with that, though is on your typical home and professional editions, with every update the bloat will end up getting reinstalled and the registry hacks reverted.

The only way to use Windows at this point is through the IoT Enterprise edition with group policies configured to reduce as much of the telemetry as possible.

@alex @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha Tbh it was getting worse and worse, the only things keeping me on windows are baking lighting in unity engine, vr, discord streaming, image editing.

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha Oh and ShareX... My productivity apps ​​

@Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha Something else that can be done is using Windows server.

Of course you will have to get it illegally since chances are that your computer is worth less than what they ask you to use the OS and I don't know how Win11 ​​ Server is, but the Windows 10 versions were much better (in my experience) than the LTSC versions with some debloating tools.

@alex @Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha tbh, having the reason that you can't leave a spyware filled os be because other spy filled software is keeping you is something.

@superboom12s @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha I like win11 but bloat kinda effs up the whole thing.

@alex @superboom12s @Saorsa @musha

@alex @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha Have you tried lite 11? I don't know much about it (and Windows in general) and you probably already knew about it, but maybe it is better for you

@katzenismus @Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha Yeah it is wild ​​. I have most of my friends there so moving to something new without compromising is kind of difficult.

@alex @Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha if there is a will there is a way. im pretty sure most of the things you mentiones can be run on linux. and the ones that can't... maybe it's time to find something new

Same reason why I haven't entirely left Discord behind. There's people I talk to on there occasionally and one guy I talk with frequently that doesn't seem interested in Matrix. That and the various game related communities.

I've gotten pretty close to just leaving behind Discord though due to the government of the United Kingdom wanting to snoop on the communication of their citizens.
