i feel like i should say something that someone might need to hear.
this isn’t a message for the unicorn. i’ve been the unicorn, and messages like this hurt more than help for the unicorn
it’s a message for the cat. and that cat kept me from giving in. even though i was unbearable.
that’s one i genuinely wonder about though. it was the embarrassing early years of generative ml. will it care to keep it for us? eww, i just got those terminator chills again
never forget will smith spaghetti
gotta count how many fingers it took to pull the trigger
even the non-pokemon fans can say it with me now: “IT HURT ITSELF IN ITS CONFUSION”
still gonna be funny when this quote is the hook for the next big country song
edit - maybe someone should have been paying more attention to those rich men north of richmond :S

i don’t understand why we’re in disagreement about this. are you not having the same experience as literally everybody else?
is this supposed to be motivating? just sounds lazy to me.
part of me thinks “great, those things were annoying”
another part of me thinks it’s a harbinger
nah, i think the word was “fetch”
if i could put you in a time machine, the last place i’d send you would be 2008. but if i was horrible and sent you there, you’d go to reddit and think it was lemmy.
(ed-formatting)
you can install it as “dual boot”, which lets you choose either Windows or Linux at boot. this is the best way to test it out, since all it takes up is a bit of storage while you try it. if you decide you don’t like it, you can remove it and pretend like it never happened.
i don’t know enough about graphics cards to tell you anything about that side of stuff, but i have heard complaints about nvidia + linux before. i don’t know if that’s still a thing, but i can only assume it’ll be something that will improve as one country keeps firing some of its best people
excuse me, i’ll just be over here in the dark corner writing my musings in my Victory notebook.
weird to see “AI” and OCR so close together in the same sentence for the first time. won’t be the last i’m sure. ever heard of Ray Kurzweil?
people are already self-censoring for fear that their message won’t be heard. that’s horrible. i’m on lemmy - like many others - because i chose to speak my mind on reddit and received the inevitable “permanent suspension”.
kill the first person who uses the term “pdf file” on this platform. oh shit, i just did it so that would be me. um, kill the SECOND person who uses the term “pdf file” on this platform. oh shit
how long until you’re not allowed to use certain words on your own computer any more? i’m here to assist anyone looking to install Linux - and you don’t even need to commit! you can try it out with nothing but a thumb drive.
edit - the biggest hangup for a long time was gaming. but now that steam is selling its own device, their support for linux has skyrocketed and now you can play just about anything you want on steam. so now what do you have to lose? m365? lol
hard to have a conversation with someone who just downvotes shit they don’t think they agree with, but whatever. everything’s a fucking popularity contest now.
you’re right, and - to your point - Linux vs. Windows poses some potential challenges for some organizations who still cling to the hope that they’ll still hold onto control of anything an a year or two.
on linux, you can access all microsoft office apps for free by using your browser (which is what will totally replace the shit you own in a few years anyway).
so, please tell me why you pay for ads on your OS?
yep, and tons of other reasons, too. i agree with everything you said, but i say that the largest contributor might sound a bit controversial… it all comes down to “kids these days”. or maybe not, but i still think it’s a major component.
edit - i forgot to mention that ‘kids these days’ goes back as far as written time
edit2 - i’m sorry - i’m totally butchering my point.
