Sounds like they intentionally overstepped the line so that pulling back would make it seem like “they listened”, when in reality it was just a way of them putting other slightly less shitty policies through with less backlash.
I’m running 10 LTSC on my main desktop pc and get no nagging to upgrade at all. Tbh the only thing stopping me from switching to Linux is lack of driver support for my simracing wheel (still waiting, thrustmaster…)
Old.reddit still seems to be working for me. Maybe they’re A/B testing by IP now?
