Well, five times zero women checks out.

There’s even rumours that the next version of Windows is going to inject a bunch of AI buzzword stuff into the operating system. Like, how is that going to make the user experience any more intuitive? Sounds like you’re just going to have to fight an overconfident ChatGPT wannabe that thinks it knows what you want to do better than you do, every time you try opening a program or saving a document.

Yeah, Windows’ bullshit is what drove me to Linux in the first place. I only have it on my gaming system, and only because Discord’s stupid screensharing doesn’t transmit audio on Linux, NVIDIA’s drivers for Linux suck balls (going AMD next time now that their cards are good again) and there are a couple of games my friends play that have issues on Linux. I’ve never run into a game on my everyday laptop that Linux couldn’t run, and the Steam Deck will take basically whatever you throw at it.

Windows is a barely-functional rat’s nest of code spaghetti that falls apart at complete random. Sometimes your audio drivers will just stop working for no apparent reason. Sometimes your computer will just refuse to connect to the internet until you do a clean install. Windows Update apparently runs Prime95 in its spare time and so does the Antimalware Service Executable. I hate using it so much. I wish Windows would just curl up and die.

A Libertarian candidate for the US Senate back in 2018 proposed giving shotguns to homeless people for self-defence.

Centralisation in this instance refers to control over the network and standard itself rather than control over what’s posted on it. There’s no single authority that can unilaterally change how every Fediverse instance and system works - for example, there isn’t anyone who can decree that from now on Lemmy will no longer allow connections from Canada, or that nobody is allowed to post pictures of capybaras any more.

It’s intended to prevent a /u/spez or Elon Musk situation where one asshole can bring down the entire ecosystem built around an API. Nothing stops anyone else from hosting their own instance if they dislike lemmy.world, whereas if you don’t like Twitter, you can’t just host your own copy of it.

And yet they keep buying and killing their competition to try and funnel you into their godawful hellsite.
