Technology@lemmy.world•As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled MonstrosityEnglish
3·3 months agoAbsolute truth. I haven’t run into a single game that doesn’t run on my second-from-top-of-the-line gaming PC I built last year under Linux. I know they exist because I see articles about a developer removing Proton support for odd reasons, but it hasn’t impacted me yet.
MS has largely made their own OS irrelevant by putting the Office Suite in the cloud. If you need Excel but don’t want Copilot throwing all your screengrabs to Redmond a box running Ubuntu or Mint or Bazzite or MacOS (a legit option for some people with niche applications that cater to the Apple crowd). MS is following the same playbook with the Xbox brand. If everything is an Xbox then why would you harness yourself to a crappy MS branded one?

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PCEnglish
2·3 months agoApple’s making it easy these days. Mac Minis are cheap and more than enough computer for 95% of people’s tasks, while also using sipping watts. I’m on a M4 Mac Mini and it’s using 3.91 watts right now. I’ve run it at full tilt for extended periods of time and I barely heard the fan. It even runs BG3 somehow.
That said, the power button being on the bottom is dumb but not a real issue. MacOS’s assumption that you’re going to be using a trackpad is annoying for those of us with nice mice. Actually, MacOS is just annoying in a lot of ways. I get that the bumpers are there to keep people from causing long lines at Genius Bars, but I wish there were just a single button that I could hit that tell the machine I know my way around a *nix and don’t need to be babied at every turn.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can a person who is a convicted felon/ rapist even get nominated for the Nobel Peace Price? Extra points if you can ELI5 that.
3·3 months agoLots of people share blame but Obama did not fight for it at all, which amounts to appeasement. There should have been a Supreme Court case about it.

8·3 months agoObama not fighting for his Supreme Court appointment is a lot more than indirectly responsible for all of this. He abdicated his duty to execute the office and fucked us all in doing so.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•TV/MA 'High School' teen drama shows should be set in college and centered around young adults or adults.
19·3 months agoLost my v card at 15, drank and smoked weed in high school. My friends were partying too, and I went to an elite prep school. Kids got kicked out of school for doing opiates, someone dropped a bottle of MDMA pills in the girls’ bathroom and one of the teacher’s kids got his GF pregnant. There was a couch in the library that there was effectively a public challenge to fuck on. Don’t even get me started on the shit that went down in the drama department. Theater/band kids FUCK.
Kids do these things, especially the kids with money and little accountability.

5·4 months agoVery true. The last decade and a half have just been switching between round and square corners with mild spec bumps. VR was supposed to be it I think, but it just isn’t useful enough.

politics @lemmy.world•Republican election chief accused of slipping MDMA, cocaine into granddaughters’ ice cream
18·4 months agoRead the article please! He was trying to make Dairy Queen employees look like they were poisoning kids, not trying to molest the girls. He put pills in their milkshakes and then showed a cop the milkshakes, claiming they came that way. Cops found video of him putting the pills in.
He’s still a bad man who put his grandkids in harm’s way, or at best used them in commission of a crime.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the worst apartment you've ever lived in?
5·6 months agoTame Impala nailed it.
When we were living in squalor
Wasn’t it heaven?
Back when we used to get on it
Four out of seven
Now even though that was a time I
Hated from day one
Eventually terrible memories
Turn into great ones
