1·1 month agoThe bots are there to sell things to humans, collect data on humans, or persuade humans to do things. You want money, power, or to manipulate people into voting against their own self-interests? That’s what bots are for.
Is this your first exposure to FOSS? If so, you are in for a treat. There’s a whole world of free, open source software out there for you to enjoy.
Yeah, it’s 100% free.
1·2 months agoMaybe XP or 7 based on how snappy it feels? But they’re not really comparable.
TTY is still a thing in Linux and Windows removed that in XP. GUI can vary from classic feeling to more modern than Windows. Package management is leaps and bounds better than Windows.
Windows XP and 7 are a good one to say to Windows users because they’ll remember them as comparatively light and debloated, which is how Linux feels, even though Linux is very much modern.
Windows was doing an Ubuntu-like release cycle on 10 with standard releases every 6 months and LTS releases every 2 years. There was no need for them to release Windows 11 other than branding. They could have simply kept up their scheduled release cadence like every linux distro does.
Yes TikTok, that’s what a ban is.
Any of the businesses that have hopped on the AI train. $200/month is basically the price of a single Indian call center employee. A company can pay for the AI subscription and fire 90% of the call center, using humans only for escalation.
That’s nothing to a business.
2·2 months agoNot sure what you mean. The McChicken bars are not showing a 200% increase regardless of how you slice it.
They’re not. The $3 bar is not 3x the height of the $1 bar next to it. The $2.99 bar on the right is higher than the $2.99 bar on the left. Someone just free drew the bars and it’s extremely noticeable and annoying.
Let’s help grow Peertube, then.
The police have, however, claimed that the woman was having an affair with another person and was beaten up by him and his family members.
My bad, I thought you were making a joke about Pika saying “planned obsidence” instead of “planned obsolescence.” I did not realize you were making a genuine inquiry.
Planned obsolescence is when businesses intentionally design a product to become useless after a period of time.
For example, imagine a high end camera company that also sells replacement parts. They change their lens shape every model, and only keep the most recent models’ lenses in production. When an older model’s lens inevitably breaks, the customer cannot buy a replacement, and thus has pressure to buy s new camera, and the company hopes that most customers will buy from them again.
We see this in tech with smartphone companies only giving OS updates for a few years, causing older phones to go end of life, so even if the phone is fully functional it needs to be replaced. Again, the company hopes the customer will again buy from them rather than going to a competitor (who is likely running the same scheme.)
OP suggests Microsoft’s TPM requirement is there to force new computer sales, which will include a purchase of a Windows 11 OEM license bundled with the PC.
The planned obstinance lawsuit.
Seriously, I’ve had way more printer issues on Windows than linux.
I’ve always taken it as they’re tabulating the gifts:
“Wow, today he gave me three french hens! Plus I have the two turtle doves from yesterday and the partridge in a pear tree from Christmas day!”
“Enrolled PCs will continue to receive Critical and Important security updates for Windows 10; however, new features, bug fixes, and technical support will no longer be available from Microsoft,” explains Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
You don’t say?
