It is so bizzare to me why the rest of the world has been so comfortable with meta services and been using their social media for years when they’ve come across as a company to not trust with that information

But, I’m probably the weird one looking like im putting tinfoil on my windows and head to the average person.

Go take a look at their comments on their profile. Lot of AI talk there.

I’m guessing people aren’t pro copyright, but its their argument in conjunction with AI that has led to the downvotes.

Probably because their angle is to find opportunities to push an AI positive agenda whether copyright is involved or not.

Looking at all the new features and how none of them have appealed to me with it being different attempts at forcing copilot I think the only happy Windows users are ltsc ones. Closest experience to a dumb OS that doesn’t change and just installs and runs the programs you install and came with minimal bloatware compared to new regular Windows.

Its hard to find a non smart TV these days. Its present even in the cheapest TV at the retail outlet.

How long ago did you buy a dumb panel to even be able to find one? Only dumb panels I’ve found have been PC monitors.

Once you start shopping for LG, Samsung, Sony, TCL, etc everything is a smart TV. And lot of people buy TVs based on specs like HDR quality, latency, and frame output and those TVs usually come as a smart TV whether you want it or not.

Customers aren’t asking for this shit. The issue is that companies don’t seem to try to deliver products customers want anymore. Instead they hop on some bullshit trend to try to appeal to investors to buy their stocks to pump it up because they want to show they are the next big thing in innovation.

I’d figure people who think watching ads is entertainment which is basically what his video are would be the group to buy a wallpaper subscription. And he has a lot of subscribers so likely figured there would be enough suckers out of millions to make something that barely cost anything to make to see how many would bite.

You don’t care so much you cared enough to comment on how much you don’t care. But, someone who truly didn’t care wouldn’t have left the second reply to begin with.

In the beginning people did actually find it cool and had fun with the pics and videos being made from it. And found asking it to provide code useful.

Backlash started once corporations started integrating AI into OS and software. People saw that it would be used aggressively to infringe upon peoples privacy and shove ads in their faces, and its getting harder to avoid OS or programs without it because corporations use any excuse to keep pushing it. Its seen as spyware because thats how corporations use it.

And even before corporations went all in on AI, techy people only trusted open sourced AI run on their own systems over trusting delicate information to a third party one connected to the Internet to vacuum up all that data.

If you don’t consider linux viable then why would android be for PC users?

Take PC gamers for instance. Some games like Valorant or Battlefield not being supported by anticheat on Linux keeps them on Windows. You think they are going to be rushing towards Android as their OS on PC only to find 0 of their steam library games being compatible? Rushing to the great wonder that is the Google Play store for games?

Windows 10 was when the stupid accounts became a thing on Windows and candy crush being installed after a fresh install so makes sense people never really loved 10. And they managed to make 11 even worse than it was at launch with the copilot crap.

Even my parents haven’t screwed up the Linux Mint I set up for them to use. I’m super curious what in the world breaks it so bad that it doesnt boot.

I wonder why I’ve never heard of them, since I’d put myself in that category.

I’ve heard Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Bazzite, and CachyOS. Just from interest in what would be a good distro for moving from Windows to Linux full time for gaming.

But, never heard Zorin. What are the places people are seeking out that has Zorin being recommend?

Might be simplest to get the smallest phone you can find for those kind of apps, and then do everything else on grapheneos. Might be hassle carrying two devices but at least one of the phones can be the cheapest thing you can find.

Yeah, our memory prices have been affected too by the stupid AI shit.

I’m so happy I dropped gmail.

Hype up vaporware. Be unprofitable but keep on hyping to draw in investors and inflate stocks and give yourself an inflated salary and sell off stocks periodically.

If get lucky enough vaporware eventually becomes a viable company or it goes bankrupt but its fine you already cashed out along the way. Yay.

Yep reason why people can get some nice Thinkpads for cheap once warranty ends with businesses offloading them.

Yeah iot version is the one I’ve been running. I like how it is stripped so much that I had to download Irfanview for photos. Just how an OS should be. Have barebones stuff to function and install what you need.

If you have to use Windows switch to ltsc so you are left out of these updates for few more years.
