If Microsoft cares so much about security, then WTF are they doing greenlighting a project like CoPilot / Recall?

Being able to touch type an on-screen keyboard with your eyes would be amazing, but we all know the real reason for this invention would be to make sure you're watching the ads.

Hey, elementary school kids need connections for weed just like everybody else, so I'm sure that will happen all the time.

Also, if you give cops "qualified immunity" they might decide to start murdering innocent people for no reason and get away with it. Only that happens to be true.

I wish I had 44 billion dollars to burn.

This is the story with every company that Elmo acquires. Musk doesn't care whether the company succeeds or not. He just wants that bong-hit of attention he gets from having his name in the news.

Ironically, Twitter was his best chance of making that work, but he's too stupid to even run a social media network. This is like farking up running a casino.

I was able to move my Witcher 3 mods from Windows to Linux and the witcher 3 game recompiled the mod scripts for me just fine.

I don't know if Nexus mod manager will work on Linux (haven't tried it yet). I'm hoping Proton is already configured for Fallout 4 mods (mod directory locations, environment variables, etc)

Why would I spend money on computer hardware that benefits no one but Microsoft?

If you want to have good AI, you need to spend money and send your AI to college. Have real humans interact with it, correct it's logic, make sure it understands sarcasm and logical fallacies.

Or, you can go the cheap route: train it on 10 years of Reddit sh*tposts and hope for the best.

I wish I had 44 billion dollars to burn.

I could live comfortably for the rest of my life on 1/10,000th of what Elmo wasted.

Just don't give companies that don't respect your privacy access to your private life. Keep your online life completely separate from your real life. It's not that difficult.

Let's see: Socialism: A system of government where the country's wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that's capitalism. I don't know how I got those two systems confused.

Don't store your personal stuff online. If you want to share stuff, send it directly and encrypt it.

I think the widespread adoption of Linux is only going to happen from the bottom up. Corporations aren't going to widely adopt Linux until Microsoft becomes a costly liability to them.

It will probably be the result of CoPilot. Will it be a huge data breach of bank or healthcare records? Will other governments flat-out refuse to run an OS with built-in spyware? Who knows? But it will be something awful that might even get our "mainstream media" to sit up and take notice.

Basically, don't make definitive statements about things you don't understand. Just try to be as helpful as you can with the knowledge you have.

It also helps if you're not struggling with a narcissistic personality disorder that causes you to make definitive statements in the first place.

I still have a Reddit account but I stopped posting anything to it a couple of years ago. I only use it for a few niche things I can't find anywhere else, like r/SamsungWatchFaces

Button #3: Restore TimeShift snapshot.

This. "Embrace. Extend. Extinguish." has been Microsoft's mantra for a long time, now. Folks need to recognize the signs that their favorite things are being targeted before they get ruined.

Mastodon, if you're looking for an Elon replacement.

Microsoft has no business forcing firmware updates on anything. This is something HP should have handled. Those laptops are THEIR products, not Microsoft's.

Microsoft lost my trust a long time ago. For the last 10-15 years, my only relationship with them is, "how much sh*t am I willing to put up with before I switch to something else?"

And CoPilot/Recall was the breaking point.

How do you "fix" the security issues of a program that is literally designed to spy on you?

I've just switched to Linux Mint and I'm not ever coming back. That's how I "fixed it."
