Well put. I was mad at first and then immediately remembered that they’re not wrong. :(

Stop fucking using twitter. Stop posting about it, stop posting things that link to it. Delete your account like you should have already.

Meh. Google Gemini has given me great medical advice always couched carefully in “but check with your doctor.” and so on.

I was surprised too.

And adding advertising to various parts of the OS.

Hey, Microsoft: de-shitify your OS if you want it to be more popular.

The best therapist in the world can still end your career by causing your clearance to be revoked or rendering you unqualified for your unit’s mission.

(Suicide is a big problem in the military, I lost a buddy to it.)

The cheapest therapist in the world may still not be covered by your insurance. (And nothing you write in reply will alter that.)

They should work to make AI therapy better while keeping it totally anonymous. If it were really good it would be the number one use for running a local and disconnected and air gapped LLM: perfectly private therapy with no “we just use telemetry to improve our product” bullshit.

Then maybe a lot more men would seek help/talk about their thoughts and feelings.

Also talking to ChatGPT, if done anonymously, won’t ruin your career.

(Thinking of AD military, where they tell you help is available but in reality it will and maybe should cost you your security clearance.)

Is dropping support for 32bit hardware more important than being able to run on everything?

Because it has always seemed like one of Linux’s core strengths is that no matter what your hardware is, you can run Linux on it.

RFK jr’s wants, needs, desire to continue breathing move me not at all.

He can fuck off.

If we had a science-backing and non-Nazi government who I had any belief in their ability and will to keep our data safe, this might be really cool. When I first got an Apple Watch and saw all the ways it benefits me I honestly wished everyone had one by default.

Instead, something like this would simply be used to further control people especially women since it can track monthly cycles (to my knowledge at least.)

YouTube can die in a fire and take its fucking premium with it.

The worst was Tony Stark pulling up like the movie was a car commercial in Endgame. That was pathetic.

I cannot stress enough that I would download a car.

LOL. I loved the Borderlands franchise, until Epic made their evil dog shit app store and the Borderlands devs sold out to them. Motherfuck Borderlands forever now. Thanks for the warning so I don’t accidentally reinstall any of it from Steam.

See I bet you think that would make things better, don’t you?

It won’t. It will make them so much worse.

Unless the EU (government) runs it, you’re going to get the world’s shadiest App Store or Sores possible.

“Just don’t use the shady ones then.”

That’s great until:

1. It’s your SO or kid accessing it and they don’t know any better.
2. You just bought something (an appliance, a vehicle, an FPV drone, whatever) and it requires you to use an app, and that app is an exclusive on the shadiest App Store possible.

“That doesn’t happen on android!”

It will absolutely happen with Apple, because there’s so much money that will be up for grabs.

I hope you like signing up with all your personal data and credit card information on app stores that make Apple look like saints, because that’s where this is headed, and sadly you’ll drag me with you.

Because again this hypothetical thing you bought might be a family member buying it, so it won’t even be up to you at that point.

This is what I see happening in the future.

The way to avoid it is to get rid of app stores completely, and have users download and install apps one by one. Like that’s going to happen.

My self hosted projects have someone to appreciate them - me.

Marketing means bothering people. Two of the raspberry pi’s I own are dedicated to fighting unsolicited marketing. Marketing is anathema to me.

I have a 20TB seagate exos drive in my main pc and I hate it. Partly due to my case, but it’s noisy and does an obnoxious head reset (or whatever) every 7 minutes or so. It’s so loud.

ROFL no. I once knew someone who got offered an upgrade from whatever to Windows 10, only for it to fail half way through because their CPU was some weird corner case that the OS thought it supported but when it was time to boot… didn’t.

Also if you want to talk e-waste, look no further than Chromebooks.

Windows 11 has problems, this is hardly one of them.

I mean that’d be neat if I gave a fuck about handhelds in general or the Legion Go S specifically. I don’t. How does SteamOS do on my AMD 7950X3D with my 4090? Oh it doesn’t support those? Then it can fuck off (for now).

I mean they’ve done a good thing in general but it requires such special hardware that it doesn’t really deserve much praise. The whole attraction of Windows originally wasn’t just “it has a GUI” it was, "I can buy a printer that works with Windows and a piece of software that works with Windows, and know that I will be able to print from that software, and so forth. Without that level of hardware support, SteamOS just isn’t that exciting. Again, “Yet”.

If you still use twitter (no, asshole, you don’t get to own a letter of the alphabet - fuck off) then you are part of the problem.

Ok that app is deleted.

All the soulless companies that employ temporary tech workers in the US for the mega corporations here just collectively got erections. This is their goal.
