Maybe a subtle form of gaslighting with features of victim blaming and argument from authority? Microsoft treats its users and customers with utter contempt.
I hope Valve takes this opportunity to turn its toehold with Steam OS into a full-blown invasion of the desktop/laptop market and destroy Microsoft's monopoly while the latter is so focused on creating everything an actual user doesn't want:
It is very encouraging that Xbox is dying right at the moment that windows is trying to kill itself and Valve is moving in for the kill. For the first time in my entire life i know normies talking about running Linux on their desktops
Install Linux, (I prefer Kubuntu but you do you) and then install LM Studio and an abliterated AI from mradermacher.
The specific issue I had was that my Linux system installed the wrong driver for my motherboard's Ethernet and downloads were slow. Steam wouldn't even download.
I gave the local AI the specific issues and hardware that I had, it identified the specific cause, (Linux installing r8169 instead of the r8126 driver), and gave me the specific console commands needed to modprobe in the new driver.
I could have figured that much out myself, sure, but modprobe failed. It then told me to go to Realteks site, manually download the correct driver, and then how to install it and test that it was working.
10 minutes later I'm good to go, whereas if I had been doing it myself it would have taken me over an hour, and I'm not a total Linux noob.
When you encounter a problem, ask your local AI how to fix it. Give your PC the responses the terminal gives you in response, and minutes later you're ready to go.
Want AI? Check.
Want Games? Check.
Want to browse the internet? Check.
Want to learn Linux by doing? Check.
Want to do it all and have the least amount of headache transitioning to Linux? Check.
It's a win all the way around, and the best part is that your data isn't going to some greedy corpo to build ads targeted to you.
You get all the pluses and none of the minuses other than a few extra minutes of learning when you encounter an error.
Should 17-year-olds be gambling? They're still in high school, the high-tech excuse of blaming the parents while pocketing billions of dollars is odious and convincing a jury to slap these companies with tobacco industry levels of damage remains feasible.
I don't agree. If the article started explaining how and why to de-bog oneself without defining bog, that would be annoying. But this one simply has a short, helpful, interesting introduction and then immediately defines "bog" before moving on. It's well structured IMO
Given how unreliable LLM is in general usage with its tendency to "hallucinate" -- a grossly anthropomorphic term, when it's just an alogrithm with no sense of what's "actual" or "fictional" -- to use this in government and law is irresponsible and criminaly negligent.
If he is turning from "economic independence" offered by BRICS it would mean that he is much more sane than many would believe. BRICS has nothing to offer and nothing in common apart from being against the western world.
Just another way to censor the free speech of those who opppose the technocracy, or "private-public partnership" or whatever weasel words they use to take away freedom from the masses.
This is why the elites have to be overthrown, their insane structures destroyed. They are beyond greedy, they are simply stupid. Imagine, wasting 12k on a powerpoint while people in your country starve and struggle on the street with addiction. What sort of psychpathy have you ingested?
I hope Valve takes this opportunity to turn its toehold with Steam OS into a full-blown invasion of the desktop/laptop market and destroy Microsoft's monopoly while the latter is so focused on creating everything an actual user doesn't want:
- virulent data mining
- wanton privacy destruction
- worthless UIX changes
- clumsy, useless "agentic" integrations
- disgustingly overpriced "licenses"
- software as a service
- planned obsolescence
etc.
