can you run me the numbers for 200 bots?
- Comment on Backing up Spotify 3 days ago:
See, 75% of output of 2 years vs 100 years of music production. Also popularity was factored in.
- Comment on Backing up Spotify 3 days ago:
do you have any numbers on the AI share? I doubt it’s more than a 2%, so I assume you are just virtue signalling on a completely unrelated topic here :-)

Play the movie where Darth Vader dies.
Of course there are features enabled by ai. But to force it down our throats, that’s the problem.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 1 week ago:
It went awesome!
CachyOS is so amazing when it comes to installing software, the huge aur, the immense speed of the installations. I don’t think the latter should be weighted too much because who cares about a few seconds at install time, but it’s still super cool. And I’m sort of entitled to say “I use arch btw” now! yay for that!
The learning curve, coming from debian/ubuntu/QubesOS mainly in the recent years was mild. Learning that pacman offers just a subset of yay etc…
I installed a few “windows only” games from my steam library, all of them worked out of the box and very smooth. Back when I installed steam 4a ago on my laptop I still had to copy some DLL manually and preload some lib to make my favorite game work. No more so.
Even thinking of going CachyOS on my laptop - but as it hardly matters which linux is running there not sure if it’s worth the effort.
Using arch now, btw!

I’ll start by letting you know how it went, as this beautiful day was originally scheduled for last Tuesday…
after assembly the box didn’t start. just 0.5s of light, minor movement on the CPU fan, then dark. need to disconnect/reconnect power to repeat as power button is without function after first press.
removing basically everything but ram/CPU did not help, so taking out the CPU;
don’t believe that normally only most pads are gold covered 😭
and I had cachyOS already on my USB… new hardware is scheduled for tomorrow.
sorry to abuse your request to whine about that :D

I’m sooo locking forward to ditch Windows on my gaming station - tomorrow is the day! yay! (on linux for decades, but current gaming station is from 2017 when gaming on linux wasn’t that much enjoyable…)

So I don’t think it’s happening.

true. because they scam people into thinking they would add privacy.

you are not wrong, but this also applies to VPN services. (their defense is as good as the sharehosters are useful for downloading Linux ISOs)

If you go to any other country in the world and see someone waving their flag you just think
not in Germany. our flag is clearly used by the far right mainly. and by football (soccer) fans during international events.
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack 3 months ago:
i personally use a provider for that. i just download torrents to their cloud and get it at maximum speed from there. so I don’t have to worry about p2p risks or being online a lot. I’m with premiumize, but there are others I guess.

- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 3 months ago:
And, btw, the Android thing also doesn’t affect anyone without gapps. Chill out.
so only 99% are affected, that really calms me down.
Manny services that are connected to finance/payment require gapps, car sharing, banking etc.

there is no “other 14%” as the 80% and 6% most likely intersect.
