Ha-ha, classic
Get out of my head lmao
[This could be a joke about Windows 11 being malware in the first place]
Or worse, with windows
Edit: 2/3 of the other comments at the time of writing are making basically the same joke. I love Lemmy
This reads like a Onion joke.
'Cause it's got layers!
There's at least four different reasons this nonsense wouldn't affect me, LOL. (I don't use Facebook, don't want Windows 11, don't see ads because they're blocked, and can't run Windows malware because Linux.)
Perfect. Right in the center of the idiots' Venn diagram.
If you're still on facebook you deserve a free windows 11 upgrade to be honest.
Windows? Facebook?
lol

The oldest trick in the book
That’s terrible bait, surprised if it’s working.
I imagine a good number of people will fall for this. Tech illiteracy is the norm.
That’s a silly malware vector though, because everyone still stuck on windows prefers W10 to W11
The kind of people that fall for this probably has a good overlap with those sick of the "upgrade!!!!" Windows Popups.
Fuck Windows to hell.
I'm soooo removed from this issue it's almost funny
So, Windows AND another malware?
I'll take "what's a tautology" for $100, thanks Alex
So.... the advertiser is Microsoft, and the malware is Windows 11 Pro. Ohh I'm so surprised
My Mac and I would like to see it try. Malware? It's a Mac. (Mac malware exists, but this is probably/likely made for Windows.) Actual Windows? Not in this Christian server M2 Pro.
