  They are trying so fucking hard, it’s so sad. Especially when everyone saw that report of them slashing AI related metrics because nobody is fucking using it.

  I can’t wait to build my new PC and install Linux. Cannot wait.

    I want this AI bubble to burst so bad, let all this bullshit go back up in flames. I want to go back to 2017 when videocards and ram were reasonably priced 🥲

      i want to say we won’t see 2017 this century but i genuinely do not care if we ever see it again,i just want it to end one way or other so i myself will accept any crossfires from these lizards just to end this nightmare.

    I promise whatever your current PC is can run Linux just fine. Pull the trigger. Install Linux on a USB, boot your current hardware to the thumb drive to take it for a spin, when you can see it works fine, flash the main drive with Linux and don’t look back.

      That is also the plan! I’m just waiting for 40,000+ photos and videos to finish transferring to a cloud drive I obtained, I’ve got a couple distributions ready to tool around with on a drive, just a few more days and I’m going to finally start the process of getting off this microslop nonsense I’ve been looped into since the 90s.

  At this point I wonder if the last few months of systematically destructing the rest of Microsoft’s reputation is a false-flag action by Linux users who infiltrated the company.

    I just set up a brand new HP Zbook for work with Debian, and apart from disabling secure boot and rebooting a brazilian times to get into different parts of the UEFI it went without a hitch, KDE with wayland and all. WiFi drivers work already during the installation, the docking station was immediately recognized. It just works now.

    But the fucking LLM button.

      You can easily remap it to something useful.

    • addie@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Oh, that’s obnoxious. I thought it was another ‘button along the bottom’, but it takes up the space that should be ‘right control’? Bastards. Hopefully you can rebind it to something useful, even if the keycap symbol sucks.

      Mind you, I’ve already got caps-lock rebound as ‘control’ and alt-gr rebound as ‘compose’. My laptop has the ‘penguin’ key (it’s a Tuxedo laptop, no Windows key here) used for Sway. (My desktop keyboard is a Model M from before the days of Windows keys, have had to bind ctrl+alt as the ‘Sway Key’.) I’ve already got some ‘useless keys’ that I could rebind to other things - looking at you, print screen - but one you could press with your thumb while chording would always be nice.

      Those ZBooks look like fine laptops. If you installed Arch on them, obviously ;-)

    Nah. Their most idiotic name ever was whatever the Xbox branding bullshit was. It was so bad, customers didn’t know which one to buy.

    source

    • GiveOver@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I thought it was pretty stupid calling the third one “Xbox One” but then going from “Xbox One X/S” to “Xbox Series X/S” was much more idiotic. Nobody would ever think that’s a new generation of consoles. It sounds like a rebrand. I genuinely struggle to understand how a decision like this is made.

• bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Last year they announced a price increase to the 365 subscription along with adding copilot features.

  It turned out that they had actually kept the non-copilot version at the original price as a hidden “legacy” subscription.

  So they were just tricking people into paying for the copilot upgrade.

  Office365 to Microsoft 365 to Windows 365 (that’s something else now) to Copilot 365 and now Microsoft 365 Copilot App.

  Honestly, I’m surprised 365 has remained static all this time. A little impressed, even.

  source

  • absentbird@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Especially since 365 is a really stupid part of the name. What is with Microsoft and 360 numbers?

    source

    • 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I guess they think we’ll use it 365 days a year. Or, maybe, we’ll just pay for it 365 days a year. Besides the Xbox and their 365 line, where else did they use other 360 numbers?

  I really like libreoffice honestly. In my job I have to use docs but I find myself copying from libre office most of the time. Prior to that, I used to create all my visuals with office and do my graphs in excel. So I’ve tried a few different ways to do things. Libre reminds me of old school products and I kind of like that. Plus it does what I want with shapes. Which is nice when I need to make visuals. I still use excel though, for now.

  source

  • Dozzi92@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I was hoping your last sentence was a replacement for Excel. I use Excel to maintain the books for my business. I’ve built a really nice book for keeping track. The thought of migrating it to something where certain functions may not work keeps me paying my subscription fees.

    source

    • thevoidzero@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      How much do you pay? Maybe you can pay someone to write you a custom program to do those things. Maybe in libre office, or python, or some other language with gui and plots.

      It’s more of a “haven’t experimented” with the alternatives yet rather than them not being good. Mainly a time issue for me.

    I avoid spreadsheets in general. But I have used some pretty funky formulas in libre office’s calc. I’m just kind of curious what formulas you use that aren’t supported in Calc.

  Will they rename Windows (Winslop) to “CopilotOS”? If yes, I’ll nuke Windows 10 (!) from my SSD, then replace it with Manjaro or some similar simplified Arch derivative, as my main OS.

  source

  • Narauko@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    The only reason I haven’t switched to Manjaro permanently is because mods for the Warhammer tides games is much more tedious and I play Battlefield 6. The rootkit anti cheat software that many of the new multiplayer games use suck, but I do still want to play some of those games.

      Been running Bazzite for a year with minimal gaming issues. Only reason to run windows for games IMO is if you have to have a rootkit running to play, guessing that’s why you’re still using it?

  what the fuck…

  so AI psychosis goes both ways it seems

  source

  • sureshot0@discuss.online ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    AI psychosis is so easy to slip into, even if someone knows it’s happening. In order to use AI safely, use a search AI like DuckDuckGo/Ecosia/Gemini and only ask it questions pertaining to searches, don’t ask followup questions.

    It’s not just that the AI convinces users that it’s in a relationship with them. The AI writes like a human, but it also will hallicinate and get things wrong. The user has the experience of arguing with a ‘person’ who keeps insisting on an imagined reality. That is crazy-making behavior when humans do it, so it’s understandable that it’s crazy-making when a search engine does it.

  In reality the copilot is not their ai, it is the user!! They drain every single click, data, keyboard input, every mouse mouvements for a while now. The strategy is to train an ai to replace the worker. The copilot is you.
