"Are you suuuuure you don't want to use Edge? Are you suuuuure you don't want it to be the default handler for .pdf and .svg files? Are you sure? Are you sure you're sure? Just in case, we'll pin it to your start menu again and put a shortcut to it on your desktop. Just until you're sure."

Apple's starting to get more and more into this. Safari pesters you and nobody wants NEWS/Stocks/AppleTv App, Weather, etc. But you can't uninstall them :(

I was able to uninstall all of the apps you just mentioned on iPhone just to cure my curiosity.

Which Apple device is not letting you uninstall those apps?

MacOS not iPhone. Should have specified

No worries! I was just a little confused when I tried it on my iPhone and it worked.

That’s what sudo rm -rf is for 😇. I’m going to try this on my Mac to satisfy my curiosity! Will report back.

If only it were that easy. You have to disable SIP basically permanently if you want to do that and I'm not confident enough to do that quite yet, much as I do love to live dangerously. Maybe someone who understands this all better might chime in on the tradeoffs or risks/benefits.

I’m kinda shocked that it didn’t work (tried it)! From what I’ve come to understand, the system won’t boot after removing a stock app since the checksum of the system partition changes. Whilst I’m in favour of keeping the OS healthy that way, some of the stock apps should definitely not have been included in that partition. However, today I learned!

Yes but you can bury a "CrApple" folder on the last page

I can always count on at least one idiot to mention Apple in a Microsoft hate thread.

I think you should go back to Reddit if you want to engage with people like that just crazy right out of the gate

Ew, a gatekeeper.

Weren't you just gatekeeping Microsoft-hate-threads?

[–] Clent@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Nope.

I pointed out the reliability of such a response.

Big difference between pointing out something vs demanding it stop.

You can do all of that without being an asshole

parent

[–] Clent@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

If calling someone an idiot on the internet is your bar for being an asshole. You're in for a hell of a ride.

Oh okay! just the... reliability... of a... demand? a demand which... starts with "I think"?

Well good thing your pointing is so reliable!

[–] Clent@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

I got so annoyed with the fucking shortcut reappearing that I put it in one corner of one monitor that I hardly look at so it never appears on my main desktop monitor.

Just out of sight and out of mind.

lol I did the exact same thing. That and all the unnecessary crap my work installs that I will never use but can't even uninstall the damn shortcuts they slap on my desktop are all jammed in the corner of a monitor off to the side.
