Windows Latest recently reported that Microsoft is showing new ads on #Windows11, including one for #BlackOps 6: Vault Edition and another for the Microsoft Defender app (the cross-platform version), which requires you to use #Microsoft365. In a statement to Windows Latest, Microsoft confirmed that these “notifications” were indeed served to users.
In the past you used to pay for proprietary software not to get #advertising and today it's the other way around.

Microsoft confirms showing two new ads on Windows 11, calls them "notifications"

If you don't think there are people who'd want to plaster the moon with ads we have not been living through the same era of history.
"Space environmentalism" can seem overly precious and anti-technology. But, I'm more inclined to be sympathetic to such reservations since my confidence in the ability of humans to plan for the future, or understand what is and isn't of value is deeply shaken.
I have trust issues.
And I don't want to look up and see a QR code in the night sky. #ads
Big thanks for the @eff for these recommendations to the #EU:
✅ Protect users’ rights to #secure, #encrypted, and #private communication
✅ Adopt a #privacy-first approach to fighting online harms like #targeted #ads
✅ User-centric approach to regulate big tech platforms (Digital Markets Act)
✅ Create conditions of fair digital markets that foster choice innovation and fundamental rights
We at Tuta couldn't agree more! 👏 👏 👏
