The irony of that name is hilarious.

I am scared of the future, you know why? Because everything feels so unbearably bleak and I wish I had something to feel actually hopeful for.

But I guess we’ll own nothing and be forced to live with it.

I’ve only heard that term being used to insult, that’s actually a real thing?

And people who have an issue with this are called luddites

Absolute clown show

Microslop at it again

Noooow I see why they want all this age verification crap

You got this, proud of you for taking that step

Hopefully Zuck gets hit where it hurts

I missed Vista, but I was using XP for years on an old trash potato. The only issues I had there were very clearly hardware related. I also dodged 8/8.1 purely because I disliked the UI

The first BSoD I ever experienced for myself was on Windows 10, and they were incredibly rare for me. My XP machine was largely disconnected from the internet for the majority of its existence and the only issues it had were because it was a literal shitbox potato trying to do more than it could handle.

I’m not saying it was 100% perfect, but compared to the horror stories everywhere else it might as well have been. Being careful online certainly helps, as I never caught a virus that I wasn’t intentionally trying to test just to see what would happen.

Do people even still use Facebook or has it completely been taken over by bots at this point?

I mean the bar is in hell anyway

This is why we should all migrate over to Codeberg for sure

I personally think it’s bullshit that these things are happening to begin with, not that people are ringing the alarm to our new reality. The latter is just us doing our part to fix this.

I’m exhausted of all this. The data centers have been so pervasive that some communities have been thinking about rationing electricity to get around the requirements. That’s… a dystopia future if Ive ever seen one.

I’ve been on Linux for the last year, that’s definitely something I learned the hard way multiple times on the path. I’m very nervous about the move towards “AI” handling a lot of that stuff.

I never really got into OS modding until recently, so that could be why everything felt smooth until the end. Looking back I suspect a lot of my good experience chalked down to luck.

i am so ready for this to be over. i’ve been on the market for an upgrade for a while now but i refuse to let myself get scammed. this is pure disgust.

I skipped 8/8.1 purely because the look of it annoyed me. XP and 7 basically ran flawless on all my machines I had them on. I wasn’t too annoyed with 10 on HDD, but SSD definitely helped. 11 felt fundamentally identical to 10 for me for the first few years, and the AI stuff was when everything fell apart for me. It may be a matter of luck, ignorance, and not understanding quite what was wrong.

The situation with Windows the last few years has left me cynical of this entire craze. hopefully things end up alright in the end.

Not shocking. Elon’s company sued a state over banning the use of AI to make CSAM.

Amazon never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity
