I mean with every day passing there’s less and less desktop users anyway. Most teenagers know significantly less about windows than you know about Linux. They’re on iOS and android.
As an admin i see it as an opportunity to switch to Linux but the boomers are refusing to let go of microslop office so it’s a bit of a fight still.
It doesn’t even cross their minds. I’m about to leave my current job together with two other seniors because our boss decided we’d turn everything into subscription products. Most of it are forks of open source software running on very basic hardware and we were doing fine with selling working solutions and support. Now every piece of hardware will be subscription based. The customers will own nothing and end up paying triple.
Our boss is baffled that we don’t want to do this.
Has Bambu labs considered printing and then eating a bag of dicks?
“Deploy the momfluencers.”
“A-are you sure sir? The damage they could cause mig-”
“DEPLOY THEM!”
Ah, yes, FIFA, mhm, yes, they’re on the list of institutions that should properly fuck themselves to death.

“Classic car” isn’t just some vibe. It’s literally a legal term for cars of a certain age. Depending on the country it refers to >15, >20 or >25 years old cars. That means you can have a relatively fuel efficient car that is considered a classic car.
The first Toyota Prius came out 1997 (29 years ago) and would be considered a classic car today.
In this economy? Bullets aren’t free.
His 2014 book Superintelligence was an early examination of AI’s existential risk. One memorable thought experiment: An AI tasked with making paper clips winds up destroying humanity because all those resource-needy people are an impediment to paper clip production.
Good thing we have this philosopher to have the most superficial thoughts about AI while he poops. His second book now seems to be along the lines of “guys, AI will fix everything”. What a great follow up to AI will destroy everything. Top twist.
Their power is fragile though. The EU has sanctioned big tech in the past and will do so again. Sure they could screw us over hard but that’d hurt their profits significantly more than complying and as slaves to their shareholders they will not do that.
We shall not bow to tech twinks.

South Korea’s commitment to speed running their population collapse is impressive.
Because they have enough data to form a hypothesis that requires more research to confirm. Even if you leave the “may” out it’d be very vague because we don’t know what exactly causes the cancer. Pesticides on vegetables is just their best guess and even if that’s correct, which ones exactly? It might also be something else entirely that happens to correlate with a veggie heavy nutrition but has little to do with the vegetables themselves.
Uncertainty isn’t a bad thing.
They’re doomed to lose this because of their bloat. If you think of Microsoft in a steam format (not publicly traded) they could’ve ran a tight operation with focus on a solid product to maintain their monopoly indefinitely. Instead they’re overextending into AI and to cover the cost of compute they’ll need to push for more monetization. Higher subscription costs, forced AI integration and more aggressive data collection are already here.
All of this is pushing customers towards Linux. And I’m talking big customers here. Entire countries are switching currently. This is an insane amount of effort btw. Teaching a million Margarets from HR how to use Libre Office instead of MS Word after decades of habit is not easy so they really had to shit the bed for this to happen but shit the bed they did.
Don’t even want to know how many hours I sank into that one. My team technically qualified for the arena championship back in TBC but that was when the price money wouldn’t have covered the cost of traveling there.
My grandkids will have to listen to me rambling about how good I was at this niche game mode of a particular old video game someday.
Time well spent.
Damn I put this prompt into my non-artificial intelligence and it produced an image in my head without any extra power and water usage. Now I feel bad for cheating tech companies out of imaginary revenue.
All day every day. My dad was a construction worker and would only have a use for books if he needed to start a fire. I won’t try to bend the three braincells that somehow survived a lifetime of alcoholism into shape.
On his tombstone it shall say “he died as he lived, an idiot.”
