You’re not going to get “improvements” in Windows, that should be clear by now. Crystal clear, I would think.

Linux IS good, and today, the “paradigm shift” is more like a gentle learning curve with people holding your hand every step.

I’m an old geezer who made the jump a year ago, it really isn’t hard. Literally, the only thing I miss is the big preview window in the file manager. Big previews for all of the major formats is a big plus for Windows, but not one that kept me on their side.

Wait, there’s actually humans working at Discord? I thought the entire thing was run by bots.

Tesla is a shitty company, and everyone who works there is shitty. Same for SpaceX. They don’t have any excuses left.

Anyone who buys a Tesla from this point forward is also shitty.

I feel like this has been tried many times before.

I jumped ship to Linux Mint almost a year ago. No Microsoft products live here anymore. No regrets.

How about we disallow it completely, until it’s proven to be SAFER than a human driver. Because, why even allow it if it’s only as safe?

Five years ago, you could not have brought this up without Musk simps defending it.

We might as well just ban porn altogether.

That was the point, methinks.

I paid for a lifetime membership to Plex in 2012–$75. I stopped using it around 2015, mostly because I hated that I didn’t have access to software running on my server, meant to serve my media, without an internet connection. I knew that meant worse was coming in the future.

I don’t regret switching to Jellyfin.

“Evil attacks”, like we’re killing puppies, or something.

It’s vandalism against machines, and the only victim here is the insurance companies.

They’ve become sentient, and are committing suicide.

Amazon doesn’t sell anything you can’t buy somewhere else for the same price. You have no excuse to keep using Amazon. Correction, I’m sure people who buy from Amazon have excuses, but they aren’t good ones.

Intelligence and knowledge are two different things. Or, rather, the difference between smart and stupid people is how they interpret the knowledge they acquire. Both can acquire knowledge, but stupid people come to wrong conclusions by misinterpreting the knowledge. Like LLMs, 40% of the time, apparently.

More directly comparable, is the Ring cameras inside the house.

I’d be here more if I didn’t need to re-log in every few pages. It’s annoying, and I haven’t found a solution.

“What?! Logged out again?! Well, screw it, at least Reddit doesn’t log me out every time I refresh a page.”

I’ve been on Firefox since I left Internet Explorer many years ago. But, recently, I switched to LibreWolf, and I’ve been checking out Pale Moon. Pale Moon is close to doing everything I want, but not quite there.

I held on to my iPhone 4S as long as I could. Now I have a 12 “mini”. I know I’m in the minority, though, because I don’t spend all day staring at my phone. I do like having all the features, but I use them only occasionally–say, once a week or less. I prefer my internet use on my gaming computer with a big monitor, and a full-size keyboard.

I expect I’ll end up with a huge phone for my next one, that I don’t need, just to keep access to the functionality. Like everything else in life, there’s always compromises to be made.

People can do this job, and better, and cheaper. Anyone who can afford something like this, and I think well into the future, can easily afford a house cleaning service. Also, people don’t record everything they see and everything you say and upload it to corporate servers to be stored forever.

I moved to LibreWolf a couple of months ago. I’ll move further away if I need to.
