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!

[–] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 22 points 2 years 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?

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

Boil em mash em stick em in a stew

But think of all the weight you will lose

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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?

[–] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 2 points 2 years 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

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] roon@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] roon@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] roon@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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.

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

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] jungekatz@lib.lgbt 2 points 2 years ago

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