I actually do not use it, not out of any kind of moral stance but it just runs slow for me.

That is extremely cool!

That’s actually very interesting, i would not have expected that.

It is always really interesting when a system like that fails, and Im curious to see what they come up with as an explanation for why.

Yeah not to mention do we really need human labor for the jobs she was doing: " I’d work on webpages, branded blogs, online articles, social-media captions, and email-marketing campaigns."

Email marketing campaigns? Social media captions? Branded blogs? You’d think she’d be happy to be free of it.

I imagine the prestige of being able to tell people she was a “professional writer” was worth something to her mentally, but 'cmon…she was a marketing droid. She’s just been replaced by another marketing droid.

In 20 years, they’ll be writing about human trafficking the way we write about the satanic panic today. These weird hysterias have become absolutely emblematic of post WW2 american culture.

Man what do you even do with a kid like that.

Aww hell yeah! i’ve been waiting for this one. Once it’s been out a few days i intend to upgrade my main rig to it.

Because AI detectors suck and are the modern day equivalent of dowsing rods?

The sad thing is, they probably did get a bonus, then set about how to further monetize it

yeah it’s absolutely ridiculous. Whoever decided that the start menu, of all things, needed to be encrusted with garbage should have been fired on the spot.

I got tired of windows pretending it knew better than me what i wanted, whether that was updates or security scans or fuck knows what else.

The final straw was when they shitted up the start menu with garbage and tried to shove their app store down my throat. At that point i was done.

Yeah i literally just run whatever the default in Linux Mint is. It’s got everything where i expect it to be and has no friction, and that’s good enough for me.

I only game on linux and regret nothing.

One thing i know for sure, there ain’t no predicting the future with something like this. We’ll not know where we’ll end up until we are there.

my hot take is that AMA’s haven’t been good for literally years, and that most celebrity AMA’s are terrible and nothing more than cheap advertising for whatever their latest project is.

Linux mint is often recommended for new people, and has a interface very similar to windows. In my own experience, it’s very fast to get it up and running.

Reddit’s admins don’t recognize that they have very few levers to control the mod teams. They don’t pay them, they don’t give them any special benefits or consideration, and they (clearly) don’t even respect them either. All that’s left is the stick of removal, and that’s only as threatening as the person is committed to being a mod on a site that clearly views them as a disposable tool.

They’ve already replaced some mod teams with new people, and i suspect that’ll continue, and likely cause enormous disruption as people discover being the mod of a large subreddit sucks and is very tedious, dull work that isn’t actually fun at all.

Considering how much money reddit makes off the vast amount of free labor provided to the site you’d think they’d have more sense, but, here we are.

Excellent news to hear. In a lot of ways the steam release has been a step back, and it’s good to see us getting back to where we were before the release.
