That's not what racism is.

mmcintyre , to Technology in Police Departments Are Turning to AI to Sift Through Millions of Hours of Unreviewed Body-Cam Footage

If they ain't up to the task, then they could just quit. I don't see the problem.

I stopped caring about Apple a few decades ago.

mmcintyre , to linuxmemes in What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs?

No, I don't know any of that. Some of those words are familiar, tho. Sorry, I ain't had a Windows partition on my own personal computer since... damn I forgot what the one before 7 was called - Vista! We still had the family gaming PC, and I stayed buying games during steam and gog sales (even tho I mostly played on consoles - Nintendos and PlayStations only, lol) but I guess I haven't actually been on it since Windows 8 and I hated it so much! But it's gone now anyway, cannibalized for parts. Only 1 kid left at home, he's got his own PC, and I don't even know what version of windows he's running. It's hilarious, go back a few decades and I was free windows tech support for everyone, but now I don't even know how to Windows.

And look, I'm probably just a trash monster. Like, I'm playing Just Cause 4 on my PS4 right now. And I play plenty of other trash (but also some good games) on my Garuda (it's based on arch, btw - installed by my husband who has only ever installed windows in his life, with very minimal input from me) gaming PC. I also have the steam deck, but once my son donated parts after his latest PC upgrade, the steam deck just mostly gets picked up to do a little update every so often - but I'm about to go on a trip (and the switch has already been claimed)!
To be fair to the steam deck, I mostly don't even power on my gaming PC, as I really love my PS4 (I can't stand the PS5 and usually only get on it to help my grandson when he's here) and my rarely-turned-off MX Linux PC (I don't hate the KDE of Garuda, but there's a reason I use an XFCE-based distro as my daily driver).

I might be a gaming addict.
But Microsoft hasn't had anything to offer me since like, George W Bush was president. And even then, it was steam then gog who really had stuff to offer me on the PC. And in the console department, they ain't ever had anything I've wanted, maybe my hands are too small or something but I've always hated the Xbox controller.

I don't get what the benefits of windows are supposed to be. I just want to play games and ride on the information superhighway. Why would I even want a.. Cortana or paperclip or whatever?
