  “super stable, backward compatible system without “AI”” Sounds like Linuxlinux 😁

  Not being able to run ai spyware 11 sounds like a big entry in the plus column to me 😅

  Well that sucks. I assumed the ram, ssds, hdds could be recycled into useful forms.

  Can we all buy cheap hardware when the bubble bursts and the billionaires decide not to pay the electricity bills for these ridiculous datacentres?

  Sweden have been leading the way in extracting screens and digital services from schools. Worth reading this: afterbabel.com/…/sweden-went-all-in-on-screens-in…

  A fair response. Just couldn’t see anything except US references when I looked at the site.

  Love the princess bride reference. Thank you for acting on behalf of those of us with less technical skills.

  More technical than I can properly follow, but it reminded me of the tarpits I read about a year ago. arstechnica.com/…/ai-haters-build-tarpits-to-trap…

  Is that more usable?

  Thanks for the kind reply.

  I agree. New user introduction is very poor. Took me ages just to choose an instance - and that was in no small part because I’m here not only to escape the enshittified chokepoint capitalism of american big tech, but also because I’m utterly sick of the domination of US centric points of view and censorship. Even though i know communities are not instance locked, I wanted an instance that is not likely to be managed in the same way. Time will tell if I chose well or poorly
