I never had SE. What’s it like?

Before I switched to Mint, my W10 spat out a full screen ad that was telling me to dump my PC and get a new one because support was ending for W10. I clicked on ‘maybe later’ because there was no other viable option to get it off screen, thinking it was a one off. It was when the ad popped up again 3 days later that I spat the dummy and went into Linux land.

It wasn’t about ongoing support. It was about being left alone with my choice and not having my personal computer nagging me every few days to spend money when I didn’t need to. I believe this is what most people are angry about.

W98 please

WTF America?

This phrase has confused me so much when I heard it in one of Taylor Swift’s songs.

Then my Texan cousins explained it to me on a visit one day. I was still confused. Now I’ve found out it’s a stage coach thing. Interesting.

AI vegan is not a thing and shall never be.

The correct term is Technophile. Anyone obsessed with tech would never hand it off to a third party to do when they can go through the joy of learning themselves.

It’s more symbolic to force your enemy to bend the knee.

Nah she didn’t get rejected. She got what she asked for. Courting is a long game.

This is why when celebrity Lara Bingle’s career took a bit of a nose dive, it was funny as hell. But it’s not a commonly used word in my social group.

I dual boot. It’s so painful to go back to windows but some work related software doesn’t run at all in Wine. Perhaps I should VM W10 or W11.

I’m fine with that. My issue is primarily theft and permissions and the way your committee is running it should be the absolute baseline of how models gather data. Keep up the great work. I hope that this practice becomes mainstream.

This is what happens when mental healthcare is not accessible to people.

West African peanut stew but you’d need a place to get a huge bag of berebere spice.

And that AI has been trained on data that has been stolen, taking away the livelihood of thousands more. Further, the environmental destruction will have the capacity to destroy millions more.

I’m not lost on the benefits; it can be used to better society. However, the lack of policy around it, especially the pandering to corporations by the American judicial system, is the crux here. For me, at least.

Not according to the gen z who I was chatting to. Also, rage quit would have made no sense in that specific context.

Right at the start, there were sometimes the “you wouldn’t steal a car” warning about pirating movies but there never has been ads in the middle of whatever you were watching.

This is why I never gave up on DVDs, even though people would laugh. As soon as Prime shoehorned ads in the middle of a show or movie, that’s when I cancelled. I’ll have to do the same with music and get my iPod battery fixed up if I can.

I know. I was being facetious.

IHNIWTM

My latest one was rq.

I thought it was a typo.

It stands for ‘real quick’.
