Made this a little over a year ago.

I am on Windows 10 pro and have debloated and stripped as much tracking junk as I could from the OS, so Copilot had been long gone... until two days ago, when it reappeared on my start menu. I assumed it was sneakily reinstalled after an update so I uninstalled it.

Less than 30 minutes later, it was back. I uninstalled it again, and again it reinstalled after about an hour.

I've tried registry edits, I've tried changing the group policy, but it does nothing - Copilot keeps reinstalling itself in the time span of 20 minutes to an hour.

I know being on Lemmy I'm going to get a bunch of "Replace it with Linux!" replies so I'd like to preempt this by promising you that yes, that will happen eventually - there's just some compatibility issues with a couple of my daily driver programs that are pending a resolution.

For now I must stay on Windows, but Microslops incredibly aggressive Copilot reinstalls are pissing me off and I was just wondering if there are any other means in which I can get rid of this program, or at least hide the stupid ugly thing from my sight?

Edit: I suppose it's important to note that I am not nearly as tech-savvy as a lot of people here, but I try to get by. Please keep this in mind if I ask stupid questions.

Just made this meme to express my frustration at Boxelder bugs. No matter how many times I carry them out they find a way back in my house in Spring and Fall.

Note because I guess some folks need it: I don't kill them, I pick them up and put them back outside!

When I attempt to edit a comment that I already submitted, especially if I'm trying to backspace text, I put the text cursor at the desired part of my comment but if I backspace more than once (i.e. holding the backspace button), the cursor jumps to the very end and starts deleting the end of the comment.

Interestingly this very same glitch would happen to me on the reddit app when I used to use reddit.

Does anyone else get this on Voyager? Is it a known bug?

Edit: I suppose it would be helpful to add, I'm on Android.

I have always struggled with meditation. I don't think I've ever been able to successfully meditate and the advice that people give me does not work.

I have ADHD (Inattentive), autism and OCD/CPTSD and I can't stop the constant stream of thoughts, it's like my brain has a problem with authority and is like "oh, you don't want me to think? I'm just gonna think even harder" so folks advice of "just quiet your mind!" does not work at all.

The other advice I was given was "just let your mind wander" and that's not an option either. If I let my mind wander, it pivots fast to dark, traumatic, intrusive thoughts and/or replaying every cringe and embarrassing moment of my life, so up to this point, all of my attempts to meditate have never worked out.

If there's anyone with similar issues to mine that has been able to meditate with success, I'd very much appreciate some advice to help me along.

They'll nuke you from orbit if they even get one fingerprint from a browser with a previously banned account - but if you're an LLM bot or Nazi (or both)? You're good.

Since I've been seeing some bots creeping on here, I was wondering if there exists a Lemmy app that gives an exact timestamp of when a comment was posted, rather than using time elapsed.

For example, timestamp: posted 11/14/2025 11:26AM

Time elapsed: 3h ago

In my hunt for bots it would be super useful to see the timestamp, to discern if a bot is making a bunch of comments in the same minute. You can't quite discern that when it all says it happened 7 hours ago.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

I haven't gotten a binder in like 15 years or so, so I don't know where to find a binder online nowadays. I'm looking for something lightweight/breathable, durable and sensory-friendly, and ships to the US. Any good recommendations?

So far I've come across Wivov and Origami Customs, but I haven't ordered anything yet. Just wanna make sure I'm spending money on something I will be comfortable wearing.

I appreciate any help or advice!
