Hopefully you can see now that we had good reason to. Imagine a world where Linux didn't exist and the only answer to Microsoft's power was Apple and vice versa
Sure would be bad and I am not saying linux is bad. But annoying people by linux propaganda does not help linux' case.
If being told you should do something which in fact you should do, by someone who has no real power to pressure you to do it, is so "annoying" to you that's a personal problem.
If you think reminding people that a thing exists (even if it's annoying to pretty much everyone) doesn't help adoption of that thing then you should tell that to all the advertising agencies that make trillions creating propaganda (for Windows even)
Something I should do? Who are you to determine what I should do or not? I swear linux fanboys are one of the most annoying people on earth. I feel like if you can't stop telling people to use linux whenever you hear that they are using a different OS is a personal problem you should work on.
I can tell you what you should do all day long and it will never hurt you, unless you decide to reactively to the opposite even when I'm right.
If you tell me to stop being an annoying Linux fanboy I will have no choice but to continue, because that's what you have to do when someone tells you something.
It's just a joke. I'd give you another one but you are obviously at your limit for taking any more.
Hey mine was also a joke but I guess I won't make another one either since you obviously can't take it.
I've tried macOS, didn't like it at all, went back to windows, will probably switch to Linux soon™ (I'm just worried about my fancy Nvidia graphics card becoming worse)
If windows really starts screenshotting everything I do I'll instantly switch.
I don't like it either, I just love that image because it trolls insecure users. I wouldn't worry about that Recall feature too much, at the worst someone will figure out how to disable it for anyone who cares.
You'll definitely lose some cutting edge features of your GPU by switching but the raw horsepower will always be there. Plus, some of the anti-cheats for multiplayer games cannot work with Linux, possibly cutting you out of a desired game. All in all the proprietary Nvidia drivers work really well.
The shit we're calling "AI" these days will never gain sentience. If we had the sci-fi, actual thinky type of AI, the tech would be a LOT more exciting.
or frightening
or
and
Sentience has very little to do with AI. And what we have right now is by definition AI
I mean, so does a spell checker, or a calculator, or a videogame character, etc. The term 'AI' is tossed around a lot, to the point that it's not really distinct from computing in general. The connotation is that sentience distinguishes it from other flavors of 0's and 1's following whatever logic they're designed to do; but as you mentioned that's not really how it's used. It bugs me though, cuz if and when we develop the sentient variety, it's going to be a MAJOR turning point for humanity (good or bad) in par with harnessing fire or electricity... but it'll be lost on most people cuz they'll think "we've had this for years now..." cuz of LLM chat bots n' shit.
You're talking about AGI. Artificial intelligence is a field of computer science dating back to the very origins of the field in the 1940s. LLMs, neural networks, chess engines, video game bots. All are disciplines under the general field of AI. It is distinct from general computing.
Plus if Windows did have that kind of AI, then we'd want to be using it due to the whole possibility of Roko's Basilisk
Recall is just a piece that sped up my transition (I have Pro, so Copilot is less of a problem for me). The final nail in the coffin was having to deal with a driver-update-checker that randomly uses 70% processor to do things like check for updates and send telemetry to Intel.
On Linux, I just have to run the usual update command, and it will be updated there, without sending gobs of telemetry to Fuckifiknow.
It is true that I am always cowering and crying because I am constantly threatened with being beat over the head by Linux.
Bold to assume that I use Windows at all... (except when 100% mandatory at my job)
Though as time goes on I wonder how long Mac OSX will take to become more like it, as iOS has already long ago jumped the shark.
I feel like Apple would do a better job implementing AI features into MacOS than microsoft will do, and currently has done, with windows.
The fact that it hasn't done that at all yet - waiting until the tech is actually ready before forcing it on us - is already an enormously good sign:-).
They have to figure out how they can add $1000 to the next macbook's msrp before they add it.
Sorry, I'm too old for club penguin.
Your only too old when you decide to stop learning!
I'm working with my mom to make me a tee shirt that says "have a Linux Mint" with a big tye dyed mint in between "have a" and "Linux Mint"
I think it'll be cute, maybe someone will ask
