It is almost as if one of those two things is wildly intrusive and affects everything on this Earth for a number of different reasons, and the other is just a food item.

It will be really interesting to see the figures at the end of 2026, when Windows 10 has truly reached end of life, and a whole bunch of people are going to be forced to choose.

I switched to Linux in December, and it was a remarkable feeling. I don’t think I had really noticed how oppressive or depressive Windows had become (and I hadn’t even switched to Win 11, just using win 10), or how much I was actually personally affected by, but that feeling of suddenly being free when I booted up my linux was quite surprising and exhilarating.

It was like a massive weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.

And we will start pushing it again in six months time when people have forgot about now.

Bazzite or CachyOS (Bazzite for ease, CachyOS for performance).

Switched to CachyOS in December, so I guess I’m part of that statistic.

I was also part of the December Steam Hardware Survey statistic, but that was before I switched. So the December survey has an artificially inflated Windows statistic by at least 1 user.

It’s going to be massively worse in Windows 12. There is no going back for them.

The amount of people that seem to think their little bit of homecooking can compete with professional chef’s is laughable.

It definitely can, and you are showing your inexperience with cooking by making this argument. Cooks are people who are professionally trained in cooking, but you know what, most processes involved in cooking are the same whether you are a professional or not, so amateurs are perfectly capable of achieving the same level of perfection as cooks for a whole range of basic elements of cooking.

You seem to be unable to imagine that people can have opinions that differ from your own. You seem to have the need to have even the most basic concepts explained to you. even though lots of people have already done so numerous times in this thread alone.

It depends on the type of person you are. There are better things to relieve stress for you. For others cooking can be very effective at that.

We are all different, try to imagine that. No really, you should be aware of that.

Do you if that it what you feel. But personally your mindset seems extremely exhausting to me, especially your work addiction.

But again, you are free to do whatever suits you best.

Cooking rules. It can be an excellent anti-stress ritual as well.

It wasn’t. A lot of the copy protection was the game asking for the word on a particular page and line in the manual. When you pirated the game (which was easy, since it was literally just copying the disk to another disk), you photocopied the manual as well. Or rather photocopied the photocopy of the manual, I didn’t see a lot of original games for the PC and Commodore 64 back in the 80s, but I sure had hundreds if not thousands of games.

I guess the colour thing was probably a method of circumventing the photocopier, because colour photocopiers were not really generally available back then.

If you just read the tiniest bit of factual knowledge about how LLMs are constructed, you would know they don’t have the slightest bit of self awareness, and that it is literally impossible for them to ever have any.

You are being fooled by the only thing they are capable of: regurgitating already written words in a somewhat convincing manner.

There are so many other series which are a lot better. You really don’t need this one.

Their presentation at CES was as focused on enterprise AI as Nvidias was.

Shareholders are asking for it, noone else. Consumers are irrelevant serfs who doesn’t provide the majority of profits anyway, so it is inconsequential what they think.

Not the same at all though.

Unless you run into particular bios issues like csm and hd formats. It took quite a while and lot of research before I was even able to begin installation, because every distro I tried just hung even before it initiated the process of installing.

The update and driver problem is just one side of the multifacetted windows 11 problems though. The ads, spyware and AI (which is definitely going to get more invasive when they stop supporting windows 10 and they know they have a captive audience) is another great reason to abandon that OS.

There will be no rich people if the poor people don’t procreate.
