In terms of foolish - many features of Windows 11 are currently just a border-less chromium browser running online version of them, eating RAM like crazy.

So “foolish management decisions” seems to be a theme of recent years.

I fear the damn thing will be on by default, like most AI tools, with convoluted process of turning it off.

This type of tools should be added on a per-game basis.

Imagine AI hallucinating additional enemies on your screen when you are playing something like League of Legends.

As for games like skyrim - they might as well turn into wish-fulfilling AI-powered “go on adventure in fantasy land” machines and nobody would notice the difference.

The greatest suffering in life, that anyone can experience no matter who they are, is unfulfilled expectations. Girl isn’t interested in you, Weather isn’t what you want. Boss didn’t give you a rise etc.

According to Buddhism solution is to stop expecting things of others, of life, of reality. You can only control yourself, expect of yourself if you must.

Perhaps a bit of an exotic philosophy, but I think it applies here nicely.

Foxes are cool. Like cat software on dog hardware.

I will be honest with ya, if I looked better in dress than a shirt I would wear it. No Linux needed.

Not a high bar to pass. Ubuntu installed on a dead rat’s brain would run better than Windows11 on anything.

To be honest… electric field you are surrounded by every day most likely affects you more than position of Saturn on the night sky… But people who claim that new tech is causing medical issues are considered crackpots.

Believing in astrology is much safer.

Media been minimizing crimes for years through the concept of “sensitive topics”. Many users are so used to them they even self-censor. There is no murder or rape in media nowadays, people are simply “unalived” or “having involuntary sex”.

Bar to become enemy of British crown is getting lower and lower…

I’ll be frank with you. As long as my customers are captive on either Apple or Google platforms I can’t do shit.

Regulate advertising space and personalization algorithms.

Yes, it will kill a large portion of current economy, so maybe do it slowly. But generally speaking you should be able to find what you want on the internet, not what advertisers want you to see.

I second that. I was initially skeptical about switching to Linux Mint, but every game in my Steam library works perfectly the same as on Windows.

Sitting at home with my kids while my wife takes another course about horses. I think this time is for license to be a judge at competitions.

I like writing stories.

With a little help of AI you can also try indie game dev. My advice - use it as an interactive tutorial and better search engine. You can learn a lot when AI gives you examples and then do your own thing.

Quite nostalgic

Problem is - if you look at how “World Powers” behave, do you really wanna live in such countries?

Which Europeans would just love to invade neighbors like Russia and USA?

Which Europeans would love to deregulate their countries in order to enrich elites like USA?

Or perhaps which Europeans would love to live under state surveillance while their country buys out foreign infrastructure like China?

I use Linux Mint

Steam games work on Linux Mint without issues, or at least I was lucky enough not to have issues so far.

Linux alternatives to popular apps are very good (Libre Office, Inkscape, Gimp etc) and they don’t try to shove AI down my throat or demand subscription.

I also would like to include that in terms of ease of use and interface familiarity Linux Mint looks quite a lot like Windows XP.

From home since epidemic started and I would want to hug covid if it was a person.

My productivity in office was always low. Too many distractions, too many inconveniences. Then there is an issue with getting to the office - it’s an additional hour of my life they are not paying extra for. And of course - at home I can work while doing simple chores. But the most important is that I can be with my daughters, instead of being just another father that spends half a day at work and the other half sleeping.

I use it daily as a glorified search engine. Ever since Google decided that showing ads is more important than showing search results ChatGPT is much better.
