Install Linux while you can, Meta has already banned groups discussing foss software.
I keep my ventoy drive locked and loaded.
People that work at microsoft could stop this. With means gentler than “Crack open the CEO’s skull with a hammer”, too.
I’m glad I disabled copilot in the registry. the poweruser shit I do to make my computer usable is actually why I’d actually do really well with linux lmao
got a new pc and there was ai shit in the bios
AI is a blanket term. Some manufacturers use it as a marketing term to mean ‘auto calibrate your fan speed curves’, but obviously aren’t running an LLM in your bios
You’ve gotta be a bit more specific, what kind of AI shit? I’ve never heard about that and it seems like a complete waste to make any sort of AI for the bios, something which 90% of users can’t even open.
Ubuntu 26.04 w/GPT Gnome.
Ubuntu 26.10 w/Copilot Gnome.
Ubuntu 27.04 w/Recall Copilot Wayland Gnome
Ubuntu 28.04 w/Recall Copilot Wayland Gnome ARM(only)
GPTuntu
tbf if any flavour of linux were to do this it would definitely be canonical
Just got the instructions I’m to learn about how to put AI into my programs at work. So thrilled.
During a meeting not too long ago someone was like “we’re looking into using AI to generate these reports.”
So they have a dude who gets requests to generate reports. It’s not the same reports, but rather custom reports from scattered bits of data throughout a huge database. Ergo you can’t really create a program to extract these reports on demand, a person actually has to sit and piece these together.
Now they want to use LLMs to alleviate him, as this isn’t technically his role.
They scoffed at me when I asked about how important it is that these reports are accurate, but I mean, it’s a valid concern. Best case you get sometimes-hallucinated reports, worst case you get something that wreaks havoc on the database because it just spits out garbage SQL.
I’m very glad that my role doesn’t involve that BS.
Is this some kind of windows joke I’m too GPL to understand?

If only there was a “Fuck Off” option
All well and good until my mom’s wifi printer stops working again and I need to fix it over the phone. I’d rather like to have an AI agent figure that out for her and fix it itself.
Yeah AI is nice for stuff like this but anyone can use chatgpt in the same way on linux the only difference being one is baked into the system.
Execs who convinced the board that shoving huge amounts of cash into AI is a good idea have to justify having shoved huge amounts of cash into AI.
They’re not going to
Dear users , start using BSDs.
BSDs do rock.
That said, Linux distros have a lot better compatibility than the BSDs, so use that first before you start blaming your problems on *nix. BSDs are very reasonable OSes though.
Big tech‘s response: „Have you tried using wood glue to add texture?“
Maybe stop using them instead of asking them to do something they are not going to do.
Big tech want to create a new dot com crash, they never learn
The thing about market bubbles is that there is a lot of money to be made in the inflationary period with sufficient foresight/luck/inside information regarding timing (take your pick as to which is the most important). If they are convinced they can be the ones to cash out big, they are likely not very concerned about preventing a major crash.
