I bought a new computer a few years ago that has 11 on it. With how the Steam Deck has seemed to really promote Linux for gaming, I’m seriously considering it on my next build.
It is very obvious to me that Windows is becoming increasingly subject to enshittification.
I have 11, so not directly affected. But with “no more security updates” being the only real reason one needs to change, the obvious question here is if there is 3rd party software that can protect a Windows 10 system?
I remember when anti-virus software was in common use.
I think that I’d like it even more if people who weren’t forced to drive weren’t driving,
I actually don’t mind driving so much as I mind driving in heavy traffic. Driving along on an empty road, or lighter traffic at least, isn’t so bad.
But society pretty much forces everyone to drive. Even people who don’t want to drive or are simply bad at it.
It’s the reason I don’t bike, even though distances are reasonable. I consider using an unprotected bike lane next to a busy 45mph stroad to be a matter of when (not “if”) I’m involved in a collision that could cause serious injury or even a fatality. All it takes is one driver with their face in their phone.
Driving is the highest-risk activity that the average person engages in on the average day.
It’s dangerous, stressful, time-consuming, and expensive. I also think it is a significant contributing factor to our sedentary lifestyles and expanding waistlines. I’m resentful that the decision to go with automobile-based infrastructure was decided before I was even born and that I’ve never had a viable opportunity to vote against it.
What I really hate is that driving is a privilege. But not needing to drive (i.e. walkability, bikeability, and good transit) are also privileges. Fucked either way it would seem.
I’ve worked with a number of workaholics over the years. A few have straight-up admitted that they were taking on extra work to get away.
Giving up work-life balance in the pursuit of “winning” leads to a Pyrrhic victory, assuming that you even actually win.
“Last season’s winners”
“No. Last season’s losers”

This one is really good. It’s definitely some commiseration.
I think they’re going for a more self-deprecating theme here.
Go hulk yourself!

Bold of them to assume I use Google when googling things.
AI has it’s place, but they need to stop trying to shoehorn it into anything and everything. It’s the new “internet of things” cramming of internet connectivity into shit that doesn’t need it.
So creating a breeding ground for a disease that could potentially kill millions of people is acceptable because plant-based proteins are too difficulty for a lot of people to figure out? Mind you I never said complete vegetarianism or veganism.
The argument is that humans can drive with just 2 eyes, so cameras are enough. I disagree with this position, given that the limitations of a camera-only system. But that’s what it is.
Different sensors excel at different tasks and different conditions, and cameras are not always it.
We need non-profit public housing that is suitable for middle-class families.
Non-profit doesn’t mean “free” or that money is being lost, just that the goal is to provide housing at cost rather than profit-seeking. Subsidies and such would still be available for low-income households as needed.
