Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems
Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems
Install Linux while you can, Meta has already banned groups discussing foss software.
I'm glad I disabled copilot in the registry. the poweruser shit I do to make my computer usable is actually why I'd actually do really well with linux lmao
People that work at microsoft could stop this. With means gentler than "Crack open the CEO's skull with a hammer", too.
Big tech will do what is best for extracting money customers and investors.
If you really care what your operating system is made of, use Linux.
They’re not going to
dear big tech companies, please continue doing it, i want more people to use linux.
Maybe stop using them instead of asking them to do something they are not going to do.

"So what I'm gonna do is piss and moan like an impotent jerk, and then bend over and take it up the tailpipe!" — users of proprietary OSs who don't have the self-respect to switch to Linux
I actually wouldn't mind AI in everything, if there was a simple one switch so I could easily turn it off if I don't want to use it. The problem is only in forcing it into peoples faces.
I guess they poured to much money into AI for it to fail, and now they must force people to use it to in order to justify the investments.
If it was a good product, people would ask for more themselves.
my two cents - install an older version of Windows 10. I use 20H2. You can find clean ISO files on the Internet Archive. Disable automatic updates, and use services like Blackbird (getblackbird.net) to de-bloat your instance.
I was taking the CCNA course then tests in 2013. I remember how they were pushing their IoT prediction in the courses so hard.
IoT ended up cringe af. To control your vacuum cleaner, it needs to connect to a remote API server hosted in AWS then back to you sitting next to the vacuum cleaner. I could say at the time nobody wants that shit. Now I hate it even more and I skip all the smart products.
I have a similar feeling about LLMs now. They are nice, they solve some problems nicely, they are far from perfect, I dont want them shoved everywhere.
Into everything
FTFY
