Are you illiterate?

I never came anywhere close to making the claims you accuse me of. So, frankly, you’re missing some manners. Considering your response to not liking my statement was to immediately put words in my mouth. That is rather rude.

So, yeah, this is a bullshit move by Google. But the article was just hyperbole; if a school doesn’t ban AI that does not mean they’re forced to use it. Journalism is a lost art.

I literally did not say any of that.

Except they don’t make a browser. They just repackage chromium with some very dubious modifications. Not to mention the bullshit with stealing ad click revenue, and didn’t they have a fucking crypto miner bundled in at one point?

They’re absolute crap.

Allowing money to be equated with speech is both deeply unethical, as well as being just absolutely fucking stupid.

Furthermore, refusing to restrict any speech whatsoever is both wildly impractical and totally bonkers levels of dangerous. Because according to your pithy little “absolute”, yelling fire in a crowded theater has to be allowed.

Geez, dude, go step outside and breathe the fresh air or something. My god…

Hmm, that’s somewhat surprising. And agreed on stability being sus.

In the end, though, even if it was a perfect connection, I would never know cause fuck that guy. With a 2x4 with rusty nails in it. Obviously.

Yeah, but I bet those ping times are just awful. And that can definitely interfere with gaming.

I definitely concede there’s no way of knowing. And going for overkill fits the regime’s MO. Just felt odd, I guess, mainly because they have such an insane intelligence apparatus, actually.

So destroying their org wasn’t enough. Kinda seems like they know somebody in that community has information they’re trying to control…

Well, honestly, this might be one of the use cases where these “AI” tools could be useful. Pattern recognition is something they are actually great at accomplishing. That said, I am still skeptical and concerned that the algorithms are being designed and deployed mindfully.

Which doesn’t contradict the headline in any way.

So, username checks out…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, no.

Just ask here! Lemmy is full of us Linux nerds!

Do you have any external storage? You do not want an NTFS formatted drive for food backup if you’re going to switch; just recently, the NTFS support has finally improved, bit I still wouldn’t trust it. Exfat, or any other fat filesystem, should work fine.

But, my advice? Just backup everything important, and then just follow a tutorial for installing Linux (probably Mint Cinnamon, unless you game a lot - in which case you might give Bazzite a try).

Make sure you have a USB windows installer ready before; if you have to, you can just go back to windows that way.

Liar

That’s the most horrible part, I think: the actual human cost. How does this affect people like you and me?

When, not if, this bubble bursts, we all know who is going to be left holding the bag - the only question is how they stick it to us.

I just found woeusb the other day, if you need to make a windows USB from Linux in the future.

Wow. They’re guilty of… (checks notes)… being in business.

Shut up

Really? The cost of components getting jacked by a supplier is their fault?

If you really are going to make that claim, you simultaneously lose all credibility by admitting that you are literally arguing in bad faith.

Shut the fuck up.

Are you…stupid?
