I am currently using a legitimate copy of Windows 11, on the latest version. Just started getting this message after the latest update.

Considering I already have Linux and Mac as alternatives, if they actually pull my license they will just lose a lifelong customer. Their business decisions truly boggle the mind…

    Why do people avoid using the word Microsoft? It’s annoying when you use filters and people just circumvent them.

      You can write Microsoft like it’s naughty with changing it’s meaning even though it is the same

      Micros**t

      Update your filters, bro. M$ is used for decades.

        Why though? What is the purpose of avoiding the filters? Are there shadow-bans based on keywords on Lemmy? There might be something I’m missing, but I only see this as a way to inconvenience people who use filters.

          Honestly, I think it all leads back to the original character limit of Twitter. It’s referencing that Microsoft is money-grubbing and power-hungry.

              No it doesn’t.
              Since at the very least the dollar sign replacement is older than twitter.
              And it was done by people who compared the company to nazi Germany.
