The remasters of 2, 3 and 4 are phenomenal.

It’s theoretically possible but difficult to actually do. China has a large central government and surveillance state, VPNs are essentially banned there, and yet a large percentage of the population uses them daily to the point where it’s commonplace.

It’s for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.

LLMs ≠ AI. I wish more people in the media would realize that even the most advanced LLM possible cannot achieve “AGI”. That is just not how they work. It’s like saying that if you make a car that can spin it’s wheels fast enough then it can go to space. It’s not what wheels do.

Well, it is rebellious.

Linux holds a 63% share of global server infrastructure.

How is that not 95%?

As others have suggested it is probably smarter to just backup windows onto a portable hard drive, or you could do Windows2Go which is finicky but do-able.

Also you didn’t ask what distro, but I have been enjoying Fedora Kinoite it’s a very smooth transition (and improvement) from Windows.

Tech CEO’s all learning the heard way that LLMs ≠ Natural language processing

If Microsoft’s AI actually worked I would be more impressed but it “hallucinates” so often that it becomes nearly worthless.

I don’t know but it’s a bop

Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it’s “immutable” which means the OS filesystem can’t be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.

Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.

I am trying out Kinoite now but it’s very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a “Just works” experience to start with.

Every. Single. Time.

With Linux being better for gaming and Mac still the place for creative software, Windows really is only for business users.

I’m going to install CachyOS, an Arch-based distro

oh god dammit

I actually learned of this when the Material You Home Assistant addon updated yesterday. Kudos to the dev for being extremely on the ball.

This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.

I’m all for making tons of accounts to use Google Drive/Mega/Dropbox/etc to distribute files, even if they have crappy privacy practices, you don’t need to share any real information with them anyway

A valid phone number is needed for Google accounts
