    Yeah, seems like a “click no thanks and go on with your life” scenario. Some folks have an extremely low dystopia threshold.

      OP commented above:

      Unprompted, unwanted, in the middle of a very intense game full screen, on a computer used as a game console I had to dig out a mouse to use.

        Hey everybody hates pop ups; no shade there. And I get it, when you’re neck deep in whatever game you’re playing it sucks to have interruptions. But calling it dystopian is cray cray. Sorry, not sorry. 😂

      Counterpoint: you’re in Boring Dystopia, which usually for content that is dystopian but isn’t exciting nor civilisation ending kind. It’s boring, and it’s boring to kinda have unwanted popup interrupting fullscreen application.

        My issue is that this is like having the tab snap off of your pop tin and declaring it to be a sign that we’re in a dystopia. It sets the bar so low that the word “dystopia” loses its meaning completely.

          I mean it’s kinda sounds like the enshittification of firefox at first glance, which is often regard as reliable browser. But it seems the issue is on windows end?

          Idk, imo this place often give me the impression that it’s about a slow but steady dystopian future creeping in, but in the same time it’s boring and uneventful.
