Comment on Microsoft Displaying Ads in Powershell

Comments

I didn't know where to bring this up. At this point it just feels like remote code execution. I filed an issue on PowerShell's github page. Please support me, maybe I can make my voice heard. I am tired of stuff like this. Notifications here and there, ads here and there.

I have been anoyed with my Android apps for a while now since every other update seems to change the UI randomly, I thought my shell was safe. This is not a desired piece of information, it is simply remote code execution. Somebody runs software on my computer and I don't get to decide what it is. I had Microsoft Teams installed, and now my shell is showing ads. If it wasn't for steam and photoshop, I wouldn't even run windows. So tired of your s*, Microsoft.

This response feels very hyperbolic to me.

I can barley call this an ad, especially since the subject of the ad is free, open source and a successor product to the current one.
