Wait, Elden Rings uses a rootkit?

Now I'm glad I never picked it up

Best explanation of the problem with AI and our jobs I've seen:

I'm not worried that AI can do my job. I'm worried that my boss will be convinced it can.

A 9% undecided actually sounds about right, and actually smaller than I would have expected considering how poorly most people understand or care about the subject matter

And "Luddite" today has been repainted into what you said, but yeah, they weren't seen like that at the time

AI will make all of that So Much Worse.

Hell, it already has.

Also, give us back the explorer ribbon that's actually functional rather than adding extra clicks for things I use regularly hiding them behind submenus

And a start menu that isn't, frankly, a joke. Even 8's was more usable than this garbage

Like, stop changing things just to change them and removing functionality that we can't get back without third party tools, that's gotten obscene lately... Nobody cares about explorer tabs, and if they did, the Windows 11 implementation of them isn't particularly good or functional anyway

You've tried the best, now try the rest!

Too bad they don't make the old keyboards anymore, last of those was the T#20 (T420, T520,etc) line. New one is still better than most, but the old one was hands down the best laptop keyboard

No, just Xandros, the e was a typo on my part, and the OS wasn't capitalized but stylized a different color than the rest of the name

It's long dead by now

Unfortunately, anymore, even if you pay, companies (especially googie) are STILL harvesting and selling your data... I don't know if there's a way to avoid it without either unplugging entirely or going full in on dark web and anonymous browsing techniques, and even then, your data will still be harvested from other people in your life

I didn't use Corel Linux, but my first distro was its first (and I think only) descendant, XanderOS

Nah, they've been pulling crap like this for at least a decade now, nothing new here

They didn't do that either? It looks like they're just pointing out that you can actually help him without all the money going to Nintendo, which is what they look like they're responding to appears to be saying

I didn't move any goal posts, nor did I argue with you, I was really just asking a question, but you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about something so have a good one

5.25 pixels per millimeter does not sound like very good resolution, especially for close inspection... Did you leave out a modifier or am I misreading something here?

How is that defending Nintendo?

Exactly. I never need to select a link on the web to do things like rename or move them, while I do that with files all the time

I mean, this is the Internet

What, modern cars and almost everything else? Who's hailing general enshitification and literally everything we do being consumed as monetizable data points as "revolutionary"?

I do blame them. Success does not require obscene profit. A company like that can actually be both successful and not sell themselves out like that.

If profit is a company's only motive, then I'm sorry, but that company has no real value or purpose.

"...watch us [do exactly that]. Keep watching [as we do exactly that and worse]. Let's look at it in 15, 20 years' time [long after I've cut and run with my golden parachute and left the rotting corpse of this company get picked apart by vulture investors and am long past caring]"
