  • I was dabbling for ~10+ years with Linux out of curiosity, but I was heavily invested in windows since 95. I used and liked vista, survived windows 8, but the moment everything started moving towards big brother I had enough. I was in the early access program and the insider program and I hated the idea of recall. The moment it came out in an early access program it was hacked less than 2 hour in the program, and all data could be extracted from the pictures as banking etc. Thus negating the need of complex viruses, you simply have the data in front of you. Then copilot… The fact that is deeply integrated in to everything like file explorer will break if you try yo remove it etc. I just realized this is not my computer anymore, I can’t do anything with it that I want and I am paying premium to own this system.

    Moved to Ubuntu, loved it but had some things I did not like, things like forcefull integration of not matured system changes on already proven systems (the rust saga), and other things. Moved to arch and I have been personally using Linux for close to 3 years and never looked back.

    All the things I nerd work, those that I want and don’t work natively I can try and run somehow and often it works often I have to find an alternative. The things that do not work anymore I don’t nerd them. Like ms office, adobe (some already work natively or cloud based), and kernel level anti cheat games… I can save my time in to other games. 99% of the games I want run flawlessly or EVEN better than windows, I wonder why hahah.

    Planing to move to fedore for a change at the end of the year :)










  • It makes me think of when Epic Games sued Apple: at some point, there could be more “smaller” companies like Valve that would be frustrated with the situation enough to do something about it. Maybe we should boycott the use of AI (unlikely), maybe we should boycott buying next gen consoles (more likely), etc. We can do something about it if we, as a society, become more conscious about the situation, even though conscious consumerism sounds overly optimistic.

    I have to be honest here … i highly doubt it. I think nothing is going to change, there is going to be a bubble burst, there are going to be bailouts, nothing is going to change, and the regular user is going to get poorer and poorer. To some degree its the user fault for using this crap, but from another perspective you cant do shit about it as they are pushing this down people throaths and regular users dont even see this until its too late. Water is going to get scares, there are going to be lots more diseases, its going to be a shit storm.

    As a religions person i truly believe this is the end times. We are at the finish line. Richer are getting WAAAAY richer and powerful, they are laughing in our faces, making us dumber, poorer, and to fight each other so we dont have time to say something about anything that matters. How can it not be the end times, what is to come out of all this mess? Just look at the data centers, pollution (not only from them), poverty, climate … everything is literally doomed, regular people just dont want to see it, dont want to believe it so to speak.
