Saving the environment by killing trees. Good lord!

Why would anyone think it would work? It's a stupid idea.

That sounds right. But it makes no practical sense. Everybody relies on Google search. That's a huge part of what makes them powerful. They shouldn't screw with it, and that's not a moral statement about what they owe to users, it's just about self-interest. Ruining your own base product is idiotic.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

Here's a solution: don't make AI provide the results. Let humans answer each other's questions like in the good old days.

What is locked?

Will they start supporting old CPUs? I couldn't install Windows 11 on my pre-gen-8 intel laptops, so I had to go with 10.

Everybody buy your music. These streaming platforms are trash.

I want the bands to get some money. I buy from bandcamp when musicians are sensible enough to sell on there, or on their sites.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

The site is still the same, you still get your music to download, the band still gets most of the money. 100% still a point in using them.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's cheaper because the band doesn't get paid as much. The streaming service keeps most of the meager pay.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Absolutely. Even if you pirate from some, and buy whole albums from a few when you can afford it, you're supporting artists instead of the shareholders of tech goon overlords.

iTunes was an unhappy medium. I liked how you can actually buy albums, but they gave the MP3s weird filenames to make it more difficult to move to another device. I did it anyway, but I had to find the right folder, figure out what track it was, and rename the track. I'm against it but it's still better than streaming.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Also this. But I want the bands to get paid.

My powerful laptop with Windows is already waaaaay slower than my older laptop with Linux. How much slower will it be with this nonsense? These people should switch places with the homeless.

Nice. It's still my favorite music player.

Useless bloatware.
And then they added AI.

That's some lame shit. Also, Drake can't rap and his lyrics suck.

I hate this but it's hilarious. It's a microcosm of everything that's making me depressed right now, and somehow that's precisely why it's amazing.

Whoa, I might get Fallout again just to get that mod... after they fix it.

@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

I wouldn't know. The first time I boot a new PC it already has a Linux USB plugged in and I'm button-mashing the keys to boot to USB immediately.

Ugly traitors.

    It's true. My new windows laptop crashes, lags, and constantly blasts the fan. My older Linux laptop does none of those things even under greater workloads.

    @sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

    It was clean and I Uninstaller a ton of stuff, made the ui minimalist as possible. It's usable and powerful, but it's laggy and thr Microsoft apps like to crash.

    One hardware difference is that Windows is on a Ryzen 7 plus discrete graphics vs the Linux (endeavourOS) one has a slightly older i7 (12th gen) and integrated graphics. They both have 32GB of RAM.

    That's hilarious. AI is just a bunch of people.
