You can uninstall it with winget uninstall cortana, never gave me any issues, works like a charm. Removing edge will break some stuff though, you need some edge render thingie for certain programs like Weather.

But we need weather! For crops and days on the beach and shit!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Reject crops, embrace starvation

Call me a basic bitch, but I actually prefer the inverse..

Ahh, the Irish conundrum... do I eat it now, or do I wait and drink it later?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Boil em mash em stick em in a stew

But think of all the weight you will lose

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

While I definitely COULD stand to lose a few, I've heard some pretty bad things about crash diets.. You're not gonna trick me into drinking cayenne pepper lemonade, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Drinking? No, it only impedes the process. Trust the process. It might feel weird / wrong at first, but it will get better. You will not regret it.

No one who has completed the full course ever demanded a refund or left a bad review.

Reject rejection, embrace embracing?

No one is going to use weather on a PC, that's what a phone is for

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why would I pick up my phone to check the weather when I'm on my PC already?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean is it so much work to lift your phone up tho

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's unnecessary work considering I have weather app/website on my PC. I don't see why I'd bother

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah the web browser weather is even better because it doesn’t actually take up any space on the computer too. Good point

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

It's enabled on my work terminal. It's actually kinda useful to be able to check if I'm dismissing class into a snowstorm or something when we're in a room without windows.

i have it in ny kde bar on my Endeavoros machine, i use arch (kinda) btw

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I use Arch with KDE, can confirm that I have weather on my panel too 👌🏻

How is Endeavor OS? I'm using kubuntu now and wanted to switch to something with a lean base. I recall there were some issues with the founder leaving the project.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

didn't hear anything about that, maybe you mean AntergOs? Endeavor Os is kinda the follow-up from AntergOs when the founder there stopped working on it.

but endeavor is it's own thing very close to pure arch just has a nice gui installer.

I can only recommend trying it, AUR is awesome.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Oh I think it might be elementaryOS. I remember never getting antergOS to install, good old times. That said, I do have experience with bare arch install and AUR is indeed awesome.

I no longer use arch btw. I will try endeavor this weekend, thanks!

When you live in a place like Boston, you really need that app

I remember, back in the windows 10 days if you uninstall Cortana, Windows search (start menu search) just breaks

But I guess it makes sense now that this works because Microsoft itself is ditching Cortana for Bing AI

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Well it's just that Bing AI is what Cortana was supposed to be, but couldn't have been.

Makes sense they'd ditch it and integrate an LLM model instead.

You are the real mvp here. Just ran it in cmdprompt and it worked like a charm. Love you, random person.

Edge WebView, which can be installed separately. A few third-party apps depend on it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It's basically the new Electron, without most of the bloat of the old Electron. Pretty sweet deal for app developers who need to write an app for both desktops and phones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I removed edge from my system , works fine for me !
