French govt is ditching Windows for Linux and holding mock funerals.

[cpunch71]

if you write software as smart as you are you will never be able to fix it bc ur actually dumb as rocks and the compiler knows it and likes to mess with you

also side note WHYYYYYYY is it so difficult now to find a decent laptop with no ai in the os. WHY DOES MY LENOVO HAVE A BUILT IN CHIP FOR COPILOT. i literally could not find one without it. i specifically asked the guy at the store for the laptop with the least amount of ai possible and he said its basically standard now to have some kind of built in assistant. every time i thought i found one without ai i scroll down a little bit and there’s actually ai. like they’re legitimately trying to hide it because they know people don’t want it. at least i didnt get one of the copilot+ ones but my god killing the tech industry with hammers. anyway sorry laptop rant over

yeah it sucks absolute wang. you have to find a laptop that at least allows you to turn it off. i have an m5 2025 macbook pro n it advertised apple ai soooo much but during setup it asks if you want to set it up and i just hit "no" and it has been ai free AND no shitty like "remind me later" or "set up later" reminders at all

Introducing a new Copilot key to kick off the year of AI-powered Windows PCs

Today, we are excited to take the next significant step forward and introduce a new Copilot key to Windows 11 PCs. In this new year, we will

sorry but Microsoft mandates a laptop can't call itself 'Windows 11 Compatible' without a shitty dedicated copilot key. we are regressing, imo if you want a 'new' laptop the MacBook neo is pretty good for it's price + you get MacOS which is a significantly more polished and QA tested experience

"whoa there pal! looks like your favorite web service is getting hit with enshittification. you should try this NEW PLATFORM, that is only mildly alike in function, has no stable source of funding, and is being ran by some people in their home office as a hobby. this will be a long-term solution for you that you can build a community on, i promise!" <- sentiment i see a lot on here lately. like. lol

I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this but most software used for infrastructure is made and maintained by some people in their home office as a hobby

yknow when you sort of surround your blog around computer in general and you're not even that good at it, and the "work" is 99% boring to the outside world. maybe once in a while there is that 1% something cool that's worth sharing and that's it.

idk or I'm simply not trying hard enough

what I want to make: mechwarrior 2 crossed with metroid prime with the graphics of Wolf3D or Doom or so

Being a Linux user who doesn't know shit from fuck about computers is wild. I'll see a new update notification for a "Gnome Keyring" which is for "Gnome features (Daemons and tools)" and I just go alrighty give the gnome his demons and tools I guess you're in charge here Linux do what you gotta do to communicate with my CPU so I can keep playing Hellsinker.

hrt and transgender surgeries being positioned as dangerous and experimental despite being around for much longer than ozempic, which many people are pushing as a miracle weight loss drug while ignoring its real medical indications and any possible negative side effects

it seems like hypocrisy but it's really the same idea: your body is not yours to control. you are not allowed to be fat, you are not allowed to be trans, we will say whatever it takes to keep you in line
