Yeah, they are thinking of 2000s xbox live chat. It’s been a while since then.

I almost wish California had stuck to their guns and the tech industry had pulled the plug on the whole state. Making an exception is not as good of a teacher for your neighbours as burning your own house down.

With all that money we earned with those wages that stagnated and positions that were never freed up. Got it.

Or we could have voted for all those millennial politicians, for the past 20 years, to push forward the policies we have been asking for.

It means stop using, investing in, pumping up the fucking AI bubble.

Personal computing is gonna be set back a decade because people are too lazy to write their own documents or make a 30 second search.

I have an Xbox 360 controller that has been awesome, takes AA batteries.

Switched 10 years ago. Nearly everything anyone does on a desktop/laptop is browser based lately and while I missed a few Windows exclusive applications there was always a reasonable alterative.

My only regret is not trying harder to make the switch in the 00’s, I would have been ahead of the game and could have used it as a career path.

FAFO. If you don’t want to control your computer then you wont have control over your computer.

They come with W11 but I wouldn’t say users are forced to use it. My first boot is always into the Debian netinstaller.

The TPM2 requirement is purely to drum up sales for hardware vendors and ensure that they keep bundling Windows with their machines.

I have a single W10 machine left and that’s only for VR, everything else is Debian and I couldn’t be happier. It only does what I tell it to, updates never break stuff, the Debian repository has literally everything I need.

The 20min a week I spend on W11 PCs at work has only cemented in my mind how much I do not want to deal with that shit.

Daily Debian since 2015, zero regrets.

No on hates their own fans more than Nintendo. Pirate everything they sell.

Wait, this ISN’T an Onion article?

Oh no, anyway.

Data collection subsidized ewaste machines.

I doubt the quality of your work.

FATALITY!

A decade ago you tried Linux and it was hard, try again or butt out. Windows has become even more of a privacy violating, data snorting, market manipulating whore in that time and it will not stop.

I’ll bet they roll out subscription based drivers before you make a legitimate atempt.

Crypto was supposed to do this but it’s too fractured and volatile now.
