10·15 days agoUse Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC until it lasts (~2027 iirc). And pray that Linux gets enough first-party support from hardware vendors till then, otherwise we’re properly fucked.
Writers are people, not AI that improves its output quality the more money (hardware) you throw at it. The writers of the Halo TV show should have just been replaced with an entirely new team that actually understood the source.
there were several free antiviruses that were considered good back then
like?
No, it was the only free one. Freeware antiviruses weren’t common back then.
This being “smart” is entirely based on the assumption that the average user who’s actually trying to just get to their home screen won’t be pissed when the bloated chatbot pops up instead. And that assumption is wrong.
Why hasn’t Vimeo taken off? They look like they have the right idea of eschewing ads and letting creators paywall content behind subscriptions to make money.
No lie, I actually had to shift to Chrome from Firefox today. Some websites are straight-up broken on Firefox, while others load painfully slow (e.g. try arc.net on Firefox vs any Chromium-based browser). Not to mention the massive shame of Mozilla leadership treating its own flagship product as a second-class citizen in favour of “AI initiatives” or whatever the fuck those C-suites want to stud into their resumes.
9·8 months agoThey also locked it behind Edge or the official “Bing app” on mobile. You can no longer just try out Bing Chat from the browser.
It’s because Apple users are high-grade consoomers who click and engage with a lot more ads on average than Android users.
Of course it’s worth it to get hands on the most succulent customer segment out there.
Twitter is not (and never was) a town square.
1·1 year agoSimple solution is to let it resolve by itself with some govt help.
Most of the problematic content you’ve mentioned is also illegal (hate speech, defamation, minor porn, etc) in democratic countries. Simply report the server hosting that to its countries’ authorities and the fediverse should be cleansed of it. I doubt there are many servers being hosted out of countries with mechanisms so broken that they’ll allow unrestricted access to highly illegal/harmful things on public forums.
The threat of lawful persecution should be enough for deterrence.
I don’t think that has ever been the case. Hardware vendors are not very likely to listen to the whims of a tiny fraction of retail customers, especially the kind which don’t make them much money. Institutional clients are the only one who can have any such sway, and that too is a stretch in most cases.
Whatever push desktop Linux support may get, it will be coming from enterprise customers. So if you have any influence on your company’s IT dept get them to ask for it, especially since this is a golden opportunity as the dissatisfaction with Windows is at an all-time high.
