“@windows 10 with another @darkpatterns where it keeps nagging for the user to “finish setting up the PC” when it’s more than set up intentionally without an on line account and the screen does NOT have a choice to “not ask this again”. Instead it makes you click “remind me later” as if you wanted to be nagged again. Can we stop this, @Microsoft ? It’s condescending!”
