This is long, but excellent, and captures a lot of my thinking exactly - "The Slow Death of the Power User":
https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/the-slow-death-of-the-power-user/
TL;DR - Big Tech and other interests have successfully turned most people away from understanding their computing devices, and we all suffer as a result. I strongly recommend reading it for anyone who cares about understanding what their systems do, or what to do when they go wrong, or who likes to build things.
It's from a couple of months ago, but I only discovered it when it went by in my feed here a few days ago.

Excellente lecture : "The Slow Death of The Power User"
https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/the-slow-death-of-the-power-user/
On perd de plus en plus la capacité à auditer. Les tutoriels Youtube ne sont pas une documentation.
Je me souviens le nombre d'heures que je passais etant plus jeune à comprendre les entrailles d'un OS Linux ou d'un logiciel specifique sur lequel j'avais la main.

J'ai lu un (long) article en anglais dont le titre est "la mort lente du super-utilisateur". Oui, c'est long et en anglais, et c'est justement pour ça que vous devez prendre le temps de le lire. (À bas la productivité)
Pour résumer, ça parle du lent abandon de la compréhension de ce qu'est un ordinateur (ordiphone compris) et internet et comment ça fait les affaires des google et autres multinationales du même genre qui préfèrent notre attention à notre compréhension.

🎉 Oh, the lament for the mythical "Power User"🦄—that rare breed who could actually *use* a computer without being spoon-fed by a #UI. 🥄 The industry's latest masterstroke? Replace critical thinking with colorful buttons and call it #innovation. 🚀💀

RE: https://social.heise.de/@heisec/115964852363312825
Was bin ich froh, dass ich, wenn ich das lese, nicht mehr sofort schauen muss ob das Update verfügbar ist um es einzuspielen.
Kein MS #Windows, kein #Microsoft Office, kein Microsoft 365.
Ich bin so froh den Schritt hin zu #OSS gegangen zu sein. #Linux läuft klaglos. #LibreOffice sieht im Detail ein klein wenig anders aus und hat den einen oder anderen abweichenden Shortcut. Aber das ist alles kein Hexenwerk. Esntut was es soll, läuft gut und wenn man nicht #PowerUser ist fallen die kleinen Unterschiede nicht auf.Die einzige #Software, die ich unter Linux vermisse ist #PowerBI. Da habe ich noch nix adäquates gefunden. Aber nur deswegen wieder Windows nutzen? Besonders #Windows11? Never!

A fairly decent blogpost about, I guess, #platformDecay . Computers used to be our tools but now they just feel like tools of their manufacturers.

How I Windows
This post is primarily for me to describe what I do to keep some sanity in my Windows life, but I know people don’t like the ways I hack at Windows to remove this stuff, so I plan to go over other methods to obtain the same thing, so you can make an informed decision for yourself, if you care as much as me. Don’t feel like you have to do anything though. I’m mostly writing this so people know what’s out there. I’m a power user, so this is probably for power users, or people who can take care of their technology like I think I can.
### First, what I do
I use [Ame Wizard](https://ameliorated.io/), with a playbook of settings and things to remove from Windows. Currently, the two best user-facing playbooks are [Atlas OS](https://atlasos.net/) and [Revision](https://revi.cc). These will help you remove Copilot, along with Windows Defender and many other things, but the process isn’t the most user friendly. You have to use a lot of object navigation with NVDA to get through the amelioration, but it’s possible. I find these playbooks leave me with a low CPU usage but without disabling too many features. Revision is the best if you’re new and just don’t want too many issues after the fact. Ame themselves make a playbook, but IMPO unless you want to go back to 2004 it will leave you with too much missing. I need to try their new in-beta playbook though—it has a different name so maybe things have gotten better in that department.
Secondly, after amelioration,
I may still need to use [Aurora](https://github.com/azurejoga/Aurora-Windows-Optimizer), [Winaero Tweaker](https://winaerotweaker.com/), or [Explorer Patcher](https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher) along with either the Revision tool, or the tweaks in the Atlas folder, but I’ve only ever used Explorer Patcher to fix up Explorer things after I ran Ame Wizard. Aurora is useful for a few different reasons, and it’s maintained by a blind person. It’s also pretty close to playbooks as well. The reason I don’t put it in alternatives is because I assume that people will look at this thing the same way they look at playbooks.### What are some other options?
There are some other options you have, which might be less impactful in comparison but will get you close to the CPU improvements.
* First is just adding exclusions to Defender—for example, App Data, Program Files, your audio games that Windows Defender flags as a virus but are not one, etc. I’ve heard that just adding Thunderbird’s app data folder to Defender will kill a lot of accessibility slowness with Thunderbird. So why not just add the whole fucking App Data folder to it. I think it’s crazy that people don’t see a problem with this state of affairs, but moving on…
* The second option I think you have is [tricking Defender into disabling itself](https://github.com/es3n1n/no-defender). I have not tried this.
* The third option you have is [completely removing Defender from a Windows ISO](https://github.com/soncms/StripWindowsDefender). This makes amelioration such a fun experience since you don’t have to go through disabling Windows Defender.
* Lastly, you could try [tiny11 builder](https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder), which will allow you to apply tiny11 tweaks to any ISO you download. I have not tried this.I hope you enjoyed this article and learned something new about optimizing Windows for yourself. Maybe one day AI will make this article seem pointless and old. Nah.

Cette vidéo évoque un sujet sensible : comment nous avons peu à peu perdu le contrôle sur nos usages et pratiques sur Internet, comment s'échapper du #DoomScrolling et du divertissement immédiat... Un problème qui concerne bien sûr les jeunes générations, qui grandissent avec des plates-formes faites pour cela... mais pas seulement.
