I'm an old head, having daily-driven Linux since 2012, and so far it's been great. And the current pathetic state of Windows further reinforces my resolve to not go back to running that OS, or when or if I do end up running it, only doing so in a VM.

No, the US needs to really heavily regulate AI before it destroys every line of work other than slinging a mop or working a skilled trade, and before it destroys everyone's water supply and potentially the power grid itself.

In fact, if the EPA wasn't gutted, AI companies would be in deep shit right now for how they're ravaging the environment with their datacenters currently.

Oh shit, who would've guessed Meta tried to abuse their userbase and then sweep it under the rug..... /sarcasm

Of course they'd do this, this is fully expected behavior for them.

PCs even are still more open by a large degree than mobile devices despite MS' multiple attempts to lock them down at the bootloader/firmware level and despite traditional desktops getting priced further and further out of reach to most people, with mini PCs picking up the slack in the budget sector as a result.

If agentic AI is a security risk, why the hell is MS trying to force it in as an integral part of Windows, then? I mean, unless they want people to get malware....

I wish them all the luck because we desperately need stuff like this and like Linux phones in the mobile space as Google and Apple threaten to lock the entire space down with Android and iOS respectively.

Given BSD is supposed to be a complete package while Linux has a separate kernel and userland, that's probably why.

 

So, I made a colored pencil drawing of porcupines eating sweet potatoes on someone's front porch, with a pair of squirrels joining them with peanuts, inspired by some of Unhinged Menagerie's vids.

This was drawn on cardboard as I'm running low on paper.
