- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 1 day ago:
There’s nothing that would change here other than the name of what’s installed. People would still be unable to update to the new version.

<.< The person I replied to was joking? Because it definitely doesn’t come off that way.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 1 day ago:
Again, an employee speaking off the cuff in an unofficial way isn’t “the company making claims.”
If this was the janitorial staff, would you have taken them at their word? An intern who waddled on stage? Granted Nixon had a little more authority within the company than either of those individuals, but he was by no means in a position that anyone paying attention would take his word on this particular statement.
The issue here is that the media took this “random” employees word as gospel and without getting clarification ran with dozens of “ThiS Is tHe lASt vErSIoN oF wINdOwS!” clickbait articles. All fact checking thrown out the window, no proper follow up. They just spun an entire story out of his off the cuff statement.

Nixon wasn’t speaking authoritatively there, I believe both he and M$ clarified that. And the “correlating” announcement was more “we will be continuously updating windows 10” unlike the assumed by many people to mean “perpetually” which is just silly.
You’re telling me you expected windows 10 to remain forever the last Windows version? Maybe if they decided to rename the OS moving forward.
I suppose you could take the stance of it just becoming versioned in the same way Linux distros are, but then you just get left being on an old version of Windows 10.

Are you honestly claiming a shitpost is gaslighting?
What a world we live in.

Care to explain what you meant then? Because the most I did was paraphrase what I understood to be your stance.

This has been the case for decades, why would it change now?
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 4 days ago:
Correction: power users, such as the type on Lemmy, trend towards hating ai. That is by no means “all users” by any stretch of the term.
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 5 days ago:
Yes, but one of those things is capable of a lot more damage in a much shorter amount of time.
You’ll also have a hard time knifing people from a window with a wide vantage point.
Knives are dangerous, and evil people will be evil. But should we just hand out rocket launchers on the side of the road because knives exist?
It’s an absurd suggestion, obviously. So is “knives exist so guns are fine.”

This isn’t the flex you think it is.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
USB C does not require all applications use all aspects available in the current spec (USB 3), that’s just silly. Take the latest iPhone for example (not the pro series,) they are all essentially running USB 2 through a USB C cable. And that’s perfectly fine.
The real problem is when a company uses USB C but follows none of the wiring or standards requirements for any standard. Such as running power over data pins making the charger some proprietary Frankenstein of bullshit.

Ngl this would skeeve me out. The chances of someone uploading CP while slim scare the fuck outta me.

I think we’re just all excited to be penetrated.
- Comment on Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Party Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to an Infinite Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out for Revenge | Key Visual 1 week ago:
This feels like an odd one to make into an anime. I enjoyed it, but it also… wouldn’t want it as an anime as originally written.
- Comment on I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence Eden 2 weeks ago:
I mean, one compromised account leading to a massive influx of spam is a legitimate concern.
You can’t always assume “happy path”.
- Comment on How to disable Microsoft Recall & stop the AI from taking screenshots of your desktop. 2 weeks ago:
“How to disable this opt in feature”: “don’t turn it on”
I get that Lemmy is a bastion for M$ hate but FUD articles get annoying.
- Comment on A leap toward lighter, sleeker mixed reality displays 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, one of those is much, much easier to remember. Honestly I don’t even know how to pronounce verisimilitude.
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 2 weeks ago:
Hell, you can buy with cash. Walk to a local big box store and buy a steam wallet/gift card. That is assuming you live somewhere that has that option, of course.
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 2 weeks ago:
Online, usually. Though you can technically use debit in some places.

You can virtually never know when you are talking directly to the server.
- Comment on What anime makes you think "I want to watch one more episode!"... 3 weeks ago:
This only works if you’re already caught up. Good luck “accidentally binging” 18 days straight (excluding credits).
- Comment on Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign 3 weeks ago:
To be fair, icon theming was terrible in most previous betas too. I highly doubt they are focusing on that aspect pretty hard in the dev betas.
- Comment on Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign 3 weeks ago:
I mean, outlook has themes… but I generally hate their other recent UI changes.
- Comment on Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs 3 weeks ago:
I’ll have to give it another attempt I suppose. It feels right up my alley other than the pacing.
- Comment on Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign 3 weeks ago:
I’ve unironically seen both positive and negative reactions from people.
- Comment on Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs 3 weeks ago:
This is the first time in a long time I don’t get a meme…
- Comment on Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs 3 weeks ago:
Loooong before. But I will say, most shows at least got a decent shake before Netflix became a producer. These days even a solid season 1 with rave reviews isn’t a guarantee of a season 2.
- Comment on Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs 3 weeks ago:
I really want to get into it but its pacing is ever slightly too slow. Is it worth pushing through? I think I stopped right after the episode where the wife is introduced.
- Comment on Crunchyroll Accidentally Reveals They've Been Using ChatGPT for Sub Translations 4 weeks ago:
While this is some bs from a worker perspective, this is also one of the main places LLMs thrive: translation.
If it weren’t for the fact that they are sidestepping the cost of a translator (and subsequently costing someone(s) a job), I’d actually be not appalled by this.
- Comment on Crunchyroll & Now Netflix Both Confirm Anime Sub Watchers Are the Minority on Their Platforms 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, this is a huge factor. Even if they’ve got dubs only a week behind, which was the case for season one of shield hero, I don’t want to sit and not watch the latest episode simply because it’s not dubbed. So subbed is what I went with constantly.
