No actually they nailed it, Windows 11 is losing ground to Windows 10 lol! (Sorry about the crap source. There are plenty of others from the same time frame, I’m just lazy. )

My personal guess is that’s just because people aren’t buying new systems right now, but that’s just a guess.

We’ll see if MS holds strong on their Windows 10 phase out date, though. There will be a LOT of pressure to delay that, I think.

Try a few distros on USB drives first (I like Pop OS). No risk that way as you’ll be able to test them to see if everything works without installing.

I think you’re right, none of this matters to them.They have their judges in place and everything is set up for Jan 6 II, Coup Boogaloo (but this time it will be ‘legal’).

Honestly, it’s less about trusting Microsoft than the inherently flawed nature of a closed source operating system. There’s no way a user can tell what’s really going on behind the curtain. Maybe that was okay before, but I think the capabilities of AI have pushed us past that point.

Also, Microsoft could just be lying.

People spending that much time on their work can and should create things in meat space.

EDIT: This comment got some hate and in retrospect it does sound pretty snotty. No disrespect to any digital artists intended, including AI artists.

I just meant to highlight that more traditional artists can still create in meat space and newer AI artists simply cannot do that easily yet. I personally hope any artist with the ability to focus for hours and hours considers also doing meat space work. Actual tangible, 3d work can only be sold once, but can be sold for a lot. And it’s cool.

I came here for an upset registered nurse.

I’m leaving disappointed.

Yeah, I wasn’t trying to imply there isn’t. Just adding to your comment.

They needed managers and accountants, so they begrudgingly agreed to educate everyone’s kids as long as the public pay for it and they get to ultimately decide the curriculum. There’s always been push back on that second point, especially by teachers. In the modern era, STEM* is most useful to industry so everything else gets de-funded to the point of meaninglessness.

*STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math

Except that you are defending Walmart. Why, exactly?

Well it seems like he kept his powder so dry it blew away in the breeze.

Yeah I was being pessimistic even for me, but the thought crosses my mind and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Is time on your side? Putting away a few nickles now isn’t going to do much good once the Water Wars begin.

…unless they ask nicely, of course.

The way to combat this is for Floridians to pull their collective heads out of their asses and start voting for pro-democracy, pro-human, anti-fascists candidates. But I won’t hold my breath, they don’t seem like the brightest bunch down there.

Canonical have a long history of making decisions for corporate reasons, then using their popularity to try to strongarm the larger Linux community into adopting their way of doing things.

Currently, they’re pushing their closed source Snap packs, which are frankly inferior to the open source Flat packs, but it’s just the latest example of their shenanigans.

Okay so that cuts it. Every single AI model should be open source as they ALL use our collective knowledge. They should be treated like libraries, as publicly owned stores of knowledge for everyone’s use

I thought maybe Firefly was the one exception, although I suspected some kind of shenanigans. But nope. These corpos stole our collective knowledge and culture and are now ransoming it back to us for profit.

Maybe even a bump in Democratic voters?

It’s more of an AI joke than a big tiddy meme, though. How many Boomers know what tf ‘inpaint’ means?
