So, Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022 systems and this is a disaster.
How can you push a tool that siphons data to a third party onto a security-critical system?
What privileges does it have upon install? Who thought this is a good idea? And most importantly, who needs this?
#infosec #security #openai #microsoft #windowsserver #copilot
What the hell?!?!?! This is a server OS! It needs to be as light as possible and for the sake of server stability and security, admins carefully choose the installed apps. Microsoft can’t just install new applications on a whim.
People in this thread seem to be missing this point.
This is windows server, not windows 11. The consequences is not “I’ll have an annoying taskbar icon on my home computer”, this is enterprise level interference that could affect large systems and thousands of users.
Linux Mint isn’t an alternative to windows server.
For sure, if you need paid support (which if you aren’t a tech giant, a fledgling startup, or a system with no need for uptime metrics, you probally do) the you have:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (aka SLES and only still Libre option in this category unfortunately)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Ubuntu are
if don’t need paid support then Debian, OpenSuse, Rocky, or Fedora are all good picks.
Almost any Unix can be an alternative for Windows Server. Never understood why it was used, other than tech illiteracy of lowly tech workers who only knew MS stack.

This is fuged up.

You’re right ig, in that case grab Debian.
I only SysAdmin on raspbian thank you very much.
Yeah but Fedora and Debian sure as shit are.

You could install Rocky and be done
Freebsd letsgo

The usual answer to that is “active directory”. It’s not uncommon to have one windows server alongside other Linux servers because of AD.
Stop resisting!!
Oh they can, as we see
I am jack’s complete pikachu face
Why is anyone surprised by this??!
There is a truly baffling amount of people who imagine that Microsoft has suddenly turned into a good company.
That’s all true for consumer OS as well
