There was a time when I thought that was impossible… now I don’t even have an account
I think my wife keeps one because according to her (and I believe this is true) there are things you just can’t buy elsewhere anymore. So far, I have been fine not buying something if it’s only on Amazon but I can see cases where that would be impossible.
Other than that, fuck Amazon right off

It is absolutely denial… and many are using it to justify their inaction

- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 week ago:
I left Windows 15 years ago (still have to use it for work every so often)… I have yet to encounter something cryptic breaking on Linux
When the things go wrong on Linux, which in my experience is rare, you are basically in Windows territory: reboot if you don’t know how to fix it or reformat/reinstall which is 10 times faster anyway
Right now, my daily driver is a branch of a branch (Garuda Linux which is fork of a branch of Manjaro which itself is a branch of Arch)… it comes with KDE as desktop which is awesome but I felt like experimenting with Hyprland which is not even at version 1.0 yet… and I basically configured it from scratch myself… I also share this box with my son who does use KDE as his desktop which is actually not recommended (KDE Plasma and Hyprland in the same box, I mean)
As per any advice you will find out there, this machine should be like the crazy robot in Futurama that explodes with no warning at any little thing and yet, it’s my daily driver for work, daily gamer for my son… rock solid and smooth… I have had 1 odd freeze I chose not to wait out and just rebooted the box in 9 months, and the freeze happened accessing Windows365 Desktop… go figure

You do not need Windows unless CERTAIN you play competitive online multiplayer games.

why? (if you don’t mind me asking)
I find it slower than chromium with a ton of oddly organized settings

This post gave me the last push to defy my employer’s stupid policies and install Waterfox in lieu of Edge… thanks MicroSlop

Edge was fine
When? it always sucked monkey balls… when MS finally gave up and turned Edge into basically chrome with an ugly theme, it was a leap forward… but they soon enshitified it so bad it quickly became a complete bloated mess

The usa has only ever benefitted from war… once they taste it at home and have cities to rebuild, they may drop the deadly combination of chicken hawk and apathy that seems to be their take on war

Let me introduce you to a little scam called " price stickiness"
Basically prices are quick to go up but VERY SLOW to go back down… on the opposite side, wages are quick to go down but VERY SLOW to get back up

I did for my phone but can’t get Teams to share screen on my desktop (Linux desktop) while Chromium can… once I have that one figured out, I will switch to Waterfox on the desktop as well

not quite like this… the original form was not a total kill switch, it was a vague “you are in control” (of this thing you didn’t ask for but we are activating for you by default)

- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 5 weeks ago:
You think people aren’t going to want to use AI unless it does literally everything for them? That’s exactly the “if something’s not perfect then it must be awful” mindset I was criticizing in the comment you’re responding to.
NOT AT ALL… I am simply claiming AI is NOT living nearly close to the expectations the peddlers have raised. I’m not saying if it’s not perfect it must be bad, I am saying it is disappointing
I don’t see a link to that research, but that means 38% don’t believe AI is significantly overhyped.
Not even close again… if I can prove I did not kill the Sheriff, this is not prove I did not kill the deputy. Maybe ALL of that 38% think AI is just over hyped (not significantly)
You are now arguing that the source that you yourself brought into this discussion is no good.
Again no, my source was there simply to state AI projects are failing left, right and center and I have made very clear that I am speculating from that (and my own experience) that tech savvy people do not like AI
See, I cannot hide a project that failed spectacularly… but I can smile nervously in my boss’ office telling the reporter I, in no way, blame the shit tech that he forced us to use.
