May I direct your attention to

And just like that I uninstalled the app, never to login again. It wasn’t that important for me anyway.

Oh yes, I remember reading an article about them. They caused many severe injuries and I mean really many.

I have zero trust in Microsoft’s intentions here.

Bonus points if the attackers use ai to script their attacks, too. We can fully automate the SaaS cycle!

Every couple of years I try out the latest “assistant”. I ask very simple queries, stuff that you might expect it to be able to handle. It always disappoints hilariously.

Questions where previous assistants consistently and utterly failed: “What’s the weather going to be like today?” “I want to go to [address], using public transport, can you tell me which routes I have to take?” “What are my appointments today?”

You’d think these are pretty obvious use-cases, but every iteration of assistants was completely incapable of getting even close to a satisfying answer. I don’t expect LLMs to fare better this time around.

It started as an experiment to get off the Windows 11 train wreck for me and now I can’t imagine ever going back. Linux is so far ahead, it’s not even a competition.

I think, therfore I SLAM!

The future is looking bright for bazzite

I root for bazzite. It’s so easy to setup and update all while providing superb support for gaming. I actually run it as a desktop os and I love it.

On second thought, maybe they’re doing the right thing. Offering what the competition does with improved privacy and the option to switch it off completely. I personally think LLMs are pretty bad at real-life queries, but ultimately the users will have to decide.

I’m open for alternative suggestions. The ease of wiping browser data while excluding preferred sites in duckduckgo is really nice.
