  • Windows 11’s push for mandatory Microsoft accounts is hitting a nerve with users who say the change complicates setup, privacy, and basic PC ownership

    Jump

  • the only decent version of Windows

    Please stop romanticising Win 10 just because it's less shitty than 11. There is no decent Windows.

    Reminder: Win 10 introduced

    • mandatory telemetry (you can only choose between some telemetry and firehose telemetry)
    • a built-in keylogger
    • built-in advertising
    • aggressive nag screens containing dark patterns trying to trick users into "upgrading"

  • Microsoft: Copilot is for entertainment purposes only

    Jump

  • Oh, is that why they integrate it into every single piece of productivity software?

  • Full network of clitoral nerves mapped out for first time

    Jump

  • I came for from this.

  • What are some OpenMediaVault alternatives?

    Jump

  • YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET THAT CAPS LOCK KEY FIXED, MATE!

  • What are some TrueNAS alternatives?

    Jump

  • I can't see why somebody objecting to TrueNAS flirting with closed source would want to switch to a fully proprietary system like Unraid.

  • Marriage over, €100,000 down the drain: the AI users whose lives were wrecked by delusion

    Jump

  • Not if we're talking Jim Cramer, who is well beyond 70%.

  • Nestlé says 413,793 KitKat candy bars stolen en route from Italy to Poland

    Jump

  • Dear police,

    to find out where the perpetrators took the stolen goods, just monitor for rapid regional upticks in diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

  • Marriage over, €100,000 down the drain: the AI users whose lives were wrecked by delusion

    Jump

  • AI can [...] be completely wrong. But that happens maybe 10% of the time.

    Where are you pulling your numbers from, mate? The figures I've seen so far start somewhere >40% and go all the way up to 70%.

  • Another Meta ban wave may be locking users out of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads

    Jump

  • Oh no!

    Aaaaanyway...

  • Fedora Project Leader Suggests Linux Distros Could Adopt Apple's Age Verification API

    Jump

  • ...which is precisely why I'm not on your system. ;)

  • People inside Microsoft are fighting to drop mandatory Microsoft Account

    Jump

  • Never mind, Microslop! Yes, the account is the cherry on top of the shitcake, but there's still plenty of shitcake underneath. Piss-poor performance, arbitrary hardware requirements artificially rendering perfectly capable hardware obsolete, aggressive ads user nudging everywhere, the push towards AI slop and the looming threat of Recall are also major factors driving people away. So don't bother. This train has left the station, and it's leaving you behind for good.

  • Apple will reportedly start stuffing ads into the Maps app

    Jump

  • Good. Enshittify to your heart's content, until people realise that just sucking a different big tech corp's tit is not the solution.

  • OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform

    Jump

  • Not really. Disney management has drunken the same Koolaid as any other management right now: they believe they can fire large parts of their staff and replace them with "AI", allowing them to achieve similar or even greater productivity at a fraction of the cost (i.e. whatever fee "open"AI charges). To achieve that, they need to give Sora access to their characters (so it can be trained to produce Disney movies) and invest in the company (as a down payment; money that would be recuperated by eliminating workers from the equation).

  • The US bans all new foreign-made network routers

    Jump

  • So at what point do they ban all new computers not made domestically?

    FTFY. It's the same thing.

  • Trump Postpones Iran Energy Strikes for Five Days, Citing "Productive" Talks

    Jump

  • The U.S. Ammo Shortage Is Worse Than You Think

    Jump

  • Spoiler: this is about long-range and military grade munitions. So don't worry. Next week's school shooting can take place as scheduled.

  • MAGA has been swooning over an Army soldier and her pro-Trump message. She is AI

    Jump

  • I wonder if AI girls get charged extra for their manicure... and if the DoD covers the expenses for her war claws. Somebody post a FOIA request!

  • MAGA has been swooning over an Army soldier and her pro-Trump message. She is AI

    Jump

  • Does it really matter? These people were detached from reality long before AI was a thing. These are the people who swallowed horse dewormer to fight off a virus, stormed the capitol to hang their own party's VP over election fraud that never happened (but that they are now actively preparing themselves), and attacked a pizzeria to save children from the clutches of pedophiles (all the while ignoring their idol's ties to, and probably involvement with the crimes of, pedophile child trafficker Epstein).

    We must come to grips with the fact that a significant part of the U.S. population is living in an alternative, media-generated universe. Baudrillard would be laughing his arse off if he could see it. The question is: how to deal with that.

  • Meta will shut down VR Horizon Worlds access in June

    Jump

  • Fair enough.
