A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Last week, I went to a friend's house and asked to use her computer, which is still a core 2 duo with 2gb of ram and an hdd, running win7. I was a bit surprised to see her family having it as their only computer, but more surprised to see how fast it was. I expected to have the most laggish experience of my life, but it was.. smooth. I've used machines with much modern low end cpus, more ram and ssds that performed much worse than that on win10. The enshittification is real.

Can computers be properly recycled? I ask this as someone living in a place where everything ends up in a landfill

nossaquesapao ,

But wait. Do most actual trains use the linux kernel? I thought most ones were those traditional cargo ones, without any kind of computing system.

That's so cool, thanks for the info and the photo.

Maybe they won't suggest things you already bought, but will estimate what you're going to buy next, based on the statistical analysis of people who bought the same things.

the only one I know that isn't a proxy search is yacy

I usually report them as spam.

nossaquesapao ,

It makes me wonder if this place is getting bigger and more relevant, if it's attracting interest from spammers.

But you don't need to do anything in order to let our civilization collapse.

In their defense, it didn't return a false positive

My guess is that google has been losing the public perception of an innovative company, and started to be felt as a big stable and slow moving one instead, and they're trying so desperately to take back the previous public perception. They're seeing the ai hype and the investment microsoft is doing on it. They probably also fear that bing might break their monopoly, and want to fully integrate some ai in their product, to prevent the competition from arising and passing the image of an innovative company.

nossaquesapao ,

If it were anyone but MS, I would agree.

Anyone? What about google or meta?

That's interesting, because here in brazil, people loved windows xp on release. The general sentiment was that windows 95, 98 and me were too buggy and unstable, while xp gave a better experience.

nossaquesapao ,

It makes sense, because back then, things would get released in here much later than the global releases. I found no information on the local release date of windows xp, to know for sure, though.

nossaquesapao ,

It would be awesome if there was a community focused on that

nossaquesapao ,

Most people are too tech illiterate to understand it all. I doubt people would agree to such a level of data collection, if they knew more about it. I believe it can be compared to making illiterate people sign a contract, when they can't even read it.

Scrolling through this meme was weirdly timed, because the shampoo bottle I left too near to the edge just fell off in my bathroom.

But how do you know if it's the clutter that is being removed? One of the indicator listed in the article is broken links from wikipedia. These links are very likely to point to informational resources or news articles, but are also being lost at a high rate.

I used to love that brilliant site. It was lile a place for people to discuss mathematics, physics, and other topics, with daily problems, jokes, curiosities, and a lot of things, made by the users, in a format like a social network. The site then changed so fast to become a paid and limited platform with no resemblance to its original form :(

Since arch is a rolling release distro, can't you just download an older iso from when it was below 1gb, install it and then update the system?

Which implies that the brain-computer interface will never be viable as a product

nossaquesapao ,

But are they losing the first positions because they're losing relevance, or is it due to other sites abusing seo and search engines abusing from advertising results?

Linux mint is the most agreed upon dstro for newbies. You can find it in here: https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=311

You can follow the official guide to help with installation: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/burn.html

There are also a lot of tutorials online, and if needed, you can come to the linux communities on lemmy for help

I wonder why pwas never became more popular. You can offer your service for everyone, without the need to install anything, while letting people install it as an app, if they want.

I feel personally attacked lol

Running linux and foss software on my shitty hardware since ever

As someone who worked (trying to) teaching people how to use computers, I can tell you that windows isn't user friendly. People just got used to it. I had a far easier job when teaching how to use android and a gnome gui.

nossaquesapao ,

Can't agree more. People get so confused because of those random significant changes out of nowhere. Software companies don't seem to do any long-term planning or previous research on usability, and treat their apps like playgrounds, forgetting that a LOT of people rely on them, most without high tech skills.

nossaquesapao ,

And by making the search engine worse and worse, they open the opportunity to bring AI chat as a "savior", and people will think it revolutionized internet search.

Any web site that lets you share files with people like xender ?

I remember there being apps like xender, easy share etc. which lets you share files by one person activating hotspot and the other wifi you just have to have both party close to each other and they use no data . But they are all closed source and probably spyware and its too much of a hassle to get others to download a file...

nossaquesapao ,

Something like local send, maybe?

Perhaps sharedrop would be best suited for you?
https://www.sharedrop.io/

nossaquesapao ,

Sorry, I don't ubderstand your question. As far as I know, sharedrop works in the local network, doesn't it?

nossaquesapao ,

What about buying second hand?

nossaquesapao ,

Hold on. The fact that it became worse doesn't mean that the monopoly was a good thing. Remember that those companies start new businesses usually at loss amd giving a lot to the users, just to grow their market share, but then will slowly take everything back, and more, with time.

nossaquesapao ,

People think they're immune to scams, but all it takes is a moment of vulnerability, some great coincidence, some peer pressure, or something i these lines, and they will fall victim. I've seen so many intelligent and tech-savvy people fall for so many scams over the years...

nossaquesapao ,

One of the implications is the development and popularization of the RISC-V architecture, which is open and can open the market for more competition and less monopolies, among other things.

An easy cashgrab, perhaps?

This is very interesting, but makes me wonder if nonprofit initiatives will be able to host video sharing platforms in the fediverse, because of the server damends of it.

nossaquesapao ,

And we don't even need to, because windows users already complain about windows all the time.

nossaquesapao ,

And that's exactly why I believe lemmy has the most potential to become the first fediverse project to become mainstream and challenge its big tech counterpart. The other ones face the entry barrier of a user not finding the influencers they want to follow, but this place has much fewer barriers to new users. For some, the experience is so smooth, that they won't ever touch reddit again.

nossaquesapao ,

The historical value alone it already a reason for it to become open source.

nossaquesapao ,

It fells like we have some sort of natural difficulty to deal with choices, doesn't it? Even when choosing between equally good things, it isn't something we do so easily.
