I honestly don’t want to leave windows. I did use linux for years and I don’t want to tinker with my OS or my applications anymore. And you’re right SteamOS isn’t a general purpose OS. My comment was more in the hopes that if it were pushed out like that, that MS would respond with more consumer friendly approaches to the desktop so I wouldn’t HAVE to switch again and deal with the jank. And there will be jank. I know a lot of games work now with proton but how about the Affinity Suite? I found a github that describes how to set up the process in like 18 easy steps so you can begin to install a custom wine for it and just like no I don’t want to do that. I want to just keep using my pc that works with the OS I actually paid money for and not get harvested. I am so tired.

I want to give you two likes.

Well, if Sam “Liar” Altman said it, it must be true! AI can solve climate change for us AND allow us to keep burning as much fossil fuels as the industry wants us to!

What the heck am I going to do when win10 stops getting security patches? I really wish Valve would open up SteamOS to desktops in a public and supported way. That kind of pressure from valve has forced MS to play nice to users in the past. Anyone remember MS demanding that all software for Win8 be sold through the MS store only? And Valve said, fine we’ll make our own OS, with blackjack! And Hookers! And steam machines became a thing. Noone bought them. But it didn’t matter. It was enough pressure for MS to open up to having 3rd party storefronts again. I feel like we need this again. Also, if linux played nice with anti cheat, and discord I would probably be fine ditching windows but as it stands I’d miss out on playing games with my friends.

Anyway. Privacy Nightmare AI tool bad.

my adhd is too strong atm, is there a tl;dr for the tl;dr?

If you are happy with the performance you get out of your existing hardware then you are happy with it.

subverted or working as intended?

It’s not even fundamentally possible with the current LLMs. It’s like saying “Yes, it’s totally possible to do that! We just need to invent something that can do that first!”

This is not surprising in the least from the organization that brought us such amazing hits as “Cigarettes aren’t bad for you! Doctors recommend them!” when cigarette companies discovered their products give you cancer and “Climate change isn’t real! Invest in big oil!” when it became clear we couldn’t keep just burning fossil fuels forever. If there’s a take that is bad for people, the heritage foundation is there to promote the worst.

There are DOZENS of people that know at least one character from Concord’s name

Yeah I don’t see this being an issue at all. They have to physically have my key? Oh no. Then they already have my key. And I will have disabled the key on my accounts. Unless they what, steal the key from me, take it to the lab, clone it with 11k worth of equipment, then sneak it back into my purse before I notice it’s gone? That’s some nation state espionage stuff and that is not in my threat model.

Of course countries do. But usually you call it a “Department of Communications” or something instead of “advertising”.

Won’t somebody think of the shareholders?!

Are we sure they don’t mean “other people’s religions” when they agree?

“Israeli Government Advertising Agency” Is this a lost in translation situation? Does it mean something more like “Government Communications”? Because a government having an agency blatantly dedicated to propaganda is… well it’s bold. But it could be me misreading what is meant by advertising.

Even if they find a prosecutor won’t they just put it in front of Aileen Canon again?

lol.

Must be nice!

Nooooooooo. Reeaaaallly?
