Sad it’s even acceptable.

This kind of thinking shouldn’t be acceptable from a legal standpoint. Yet the courts do nothing…

Notepad++ isn’t trying to shoehorn in AI for starters. It’s clear Microsoft is praying the current gimmicky narrative of AI will let the masses not realize this is a privacy nightmare.

It’s a good thing I stayed loyal to Firefox. Mainly due to my dislike of change lol, but I was forced to use Chrome and it felt ominous with its owner being Google.

I have to agree with you, jiveturkey.

I’m not up on current Linux drivers, how good/bad is that news? 🥴

Bummer 😓

I have an old ASUS laptop with a 670M on Windows 7, any prayer the jump to Linux for drivers will be smooth? 🤞

I have an i914900KF desktop on windows 11 (I have to use it) and loathe the OS lol. Definitely wish there were programs for chopping down Windows 11 spyware crap.

I especially like when they tell me my address lol, as if I’m supposed to be scared into responding.

No, but they’ll try because the citizens aren’t rebelling against it yet.

Awesome, thanks. I never would’ve expected it was so simple. 😅

Oh sweet, guess I’ll did around and look at the BB servers. Any recommendations?

Oh wow, I haven’t played that in forever… If the community up and running? What’s the update at, are we talking early days, Fire/Fire Defender or different builds altogether? Not even sure where my discs are in the garage. 🤔

Can’t say there is one, at least not yet. The talks for PSO2.

You’re lucky to have friends into the same stuff, I couldn’t pay my friends to play an MMO. I got one girlfriend too, but she didn’t like how much I played. I never got to play BB, what’s it like? And PSO2 was my favorite, the memories… A chance to get back into that, dare I say, it almost felt perfect somehow.

Star Wars Galaxies or PSO?

Very concerned. It’s currently a race who can speed run us to extinction first.

Control Panel will likely be on hospice for a few more years

And I’ll keep visiting Control Panel in hospice. Bite me Microsoft.

The problem with every system is it will eventually be broken down by someone smarter and used to manipulate the user-base that grew to trust its safety to market something. Be it ideas or products, the only true safety net we have is a choice in the decision. The second a choice is forced, is the second groups split away. Each user at least deserves the safety of choice if we expect them to trust in any larger system. Decisions being made by a smaller group of individuals for the larger whole, doesn’t exactly have the best history if we look at the world around us. Don’t get me wrong… Trust would be great, but we have to trust that going from one extreme to another will inevitably create a another new problem.
