Agent Elvis Episode 5
the world truly needs kinktober now more than ever
hey -- i saw ur deshittification post and found it super helpful but was curious -- why not just delete all these folders that seem to be bloating up my computer?
Mostly just bc you basically cant, I think. It's all baked in and stops you at every turn.
Windows Edge is fundamentally built into the operating system in a way that makes it so you like, GENUINELY cannot delete it at all whatsoever because it wont let you and because it'll fuck things up wildly.
Killer, too. It's an intel company now, I assume after a merger, so to get use out of it they just... Shove it everywhere.
Microsoft's goal is to make money more than it is to give you a good user experience, tho yes, a huge chunk of their choices are genuinely unbelievably questionable.
Tangentially related, but usually if something comes to you for free, you're the product, as they say. The amount of data that can be scraped and sold through people just using ai is frankly ridiculous, especially since people don't see it as directly and therefore arent on guard nearly as much.
Take the thing where windows AI Recall 'takes pictures of everything you're doing, so you can look back and find what you were doing previously and even use an ai to summarize things in the past. Locally stored, of course'. Like that... The ai's database cannot be locally stored, the data must be fed to the ai to train it which means it *is* leaving your computer, and very many people would be so happy to buy the knowledge of everything you do ever! Ignoring the hippa violations and data leaks and the overwhelming user backlash, they rolled it out anyway. And now AI is a core part of your operating system.
Or Killer, which is a network analytic service. It takes the data of your wifi usage and stats and analyzes it. So... More money for sellable data from you!! <3
They're not gonna just let you get rid of systems like that, especially not ones that could make them a ton of money and doubly especially not ones that they've already spent money on, which is why it's borderline impossible to delete this shit wholesale.
ALSO THANK YOU!!!! Knowledge is at its best when shared :3
I'm a little late to the party (as usual), but HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE!!! 🏳️🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎🩷🩵🩶
And, in the spirit of LGBTQIA+, my hot take for the evening...
Gay icon
I can't really explain in a, like, scholarly way why he is a gay icon in my eyes, but it's just- it's just the essence of him
The way he holds himself, the occasional sassy remarks, how he moves, and OH don't even get me started on how he points down to the ground when he's fighting those soldiers GAWD 😩
Carry on, Queen, ily 💖🙏

HMMMMM… 😏😉🥹😜
I was joking earlier that Anya Taylor-Joy seems to be in literally everything nowadays but then I realized that she is actually the perfect faceclaim for one of my OCs so now Anya Taylor-Joy is in literally everything INCLUDING amongst my own home grown blorbos
me watching a documentary about Hayao Miyazaki on YouTube: *vibing, sipping my tea*
the narrator: "after his retirement, he decided to travel to France and the Sahara to follow the steps of an artist and author he had long admired, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry"
me: *spits tea* WHAT?!?
