Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?

I hesitantly switched a while ago, have had 0 ragrets except that there are some games I can't play like EA games. But is that really a bad thing though?

At this point, games that don't run on Linux don't do so because of anti-consumer and anti-privacy practices by the publishers. Those guys can go fuck themselves.

Yeah, it's literally whether the publisher wants to install malware with their games or not.

Not really, considering indie gaming is now its own landscape and has basically nothing to do with AAA which is slowly dying in its own piss.

Everyone will go "gaming is dead" for the next few years while indie game slammer after slammer hits the market.

If you're more into Satan, there's McKusick.

Don't think he has the time though.

They need to stop trying to shoehorn AI into anything and everything.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

It has many good applications, but many places where more an annoyance than a feature

The steam deck is doing great things fot Linux gaming. Us graphic designers clearly need a linux based drawing tablet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Same channel on odysee if anyone wants: https://odysee.com/@AlphaNerd:8/microsoft-makes-windows-worse-with-ai:e
If he had a peertube, would send that instead.

If you absolutely must use Windows 10 or 11, I heavily recommend you use the IoT variant with all this ripped out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

11 IoT Enterpise LTSC is the way to go. Definitely don't waste your time looking for it on massgravedotdev, because they also definitely don't have permanent hardware activation instructions, either.

Guys! Guys! Guess what! Kohler and American standard are going up against Toto in a battle of the flushes! They teamed up with Microsoft to add Copilot to every toilet in America! Initially this will be in the form of a heated electrified seat with AI powered slow close. But as it ...sorry, ass it learns, it will be able to do things we never imagined!

Like haven't you ever wished to have a gentle warm water ball massage 😉 given to you automatically by your brother-in-law's toilet when you come over and visit?

Wouldn't it be cool if the same amenities were available at the Walmart too and the Costco or even the local recreational public park toilets? Imagine what these seats could learn about the go on the go! And the convenience of not having to bring your own ball massager everywhere you go is just incredible.

AI control could bring bidet's everywhere the ability to clean the areas that need to be cleaned and leave the other areas dryer than before! You'd be in and out in a jiffy! Imagine that! A no-mess public toilet anywhere you go!

There is an operating system that doesnt have AI or is made by a giant corporation trying to make as much profit as possible
