Is there a Nobel prize for headline writing? Because if there is, I've got a nomination.

Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called “fucksmith” posted suggesting it was a good idea.

So Apple destroys pianos with a hydraulic press, Microsoft invents TotalSurveillance™️ and Google tells us to put glue in our pizza and eat at least one rock a day.

I'm losing my shit about the Windows AI spyware feature storing it's data in windows registry and dumping all the text that goes in you screen into a sql-lite database.

At first I thought it was a joke, holy fuck.

Yesterday, I replied to a question in the Godot forum with a wrong answer (since I misunderstood the question at first). Today, if you google "godot delete pattern", that answer will be displayed as a "featured snippet" right on top. 🙄 (The correct answer is in the same thread, but so far Google hasn't picked up on it)

I see there's some sort of "how's Linux now" discourse going around Mastodon and so I'll give my brief summary:

To be blunt, Linux is just the least-shit option to run on your PC nowadays lol.

If you want a good start, try Kubuntu https://kubuntu.org/, I get along great with it. Familiar interface, without all the shovelled shit Microsoft constantly try to force on you. Same KDE Plasma interface Valve use for Steam Deck's Desktop Mode.

Even if you last tried Linux say 2-3 years ago properly, it's quite a different world. Thinking on the rise of Flathub / Flatpak, getting apps is so much easier now across nearly any Linux distribution: https://flathub.org/en

That's one thing I thought we were missing some time ago, that is close to solved now.

@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social avatar

Valve Proton has made gaming close to solved too. Most single-player games work great, but anti-cheat remains problematic.

Almost everything I play is really smooth. Hilariously, my Windows 11 install runs games worse somehow confused. And I've done basically no tinkering to my Linux install, I use almost all defaults...

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

I got ahold of the Copilot+ software.

Recall uses a bunch of services themed CAP - Core AI Platform. Enabled by default.

It spits constant screenshots (the product brands then “snapshots”, but they’re hooked screenshots) into the current user’s AppData as part of image storage.

The NPU processes them and extracts text, into a database file.

The database is SQLite, and you can access it as the user including programmatically. It 100% does not need physical access and can be stolen.

"Sperm counts in men have been falling for decades, with chemical pollution such as pesticides implicated by many studies. Microplastics have also recently been discovered in human blood, placentas and breast milk, indicating widespread contamination of people’s bodies. The impact on health is as yet unknown but microplastics have been shown to cause damage to human cells in the laboratory.”

> Scientists have warned of increased turbulence, particularly “clear air turbulence” which is harder to detect or forecast, as global heating warms air at higher altitudes and makes weather more unpredictable.

What if global warming solves global warming by making it impossible to fly anywhere or have reliable power or shipping? Neat!

estou tentando comprar applecare para o computador (aka garantia estendida)

pensei que era ir no site, colocar o número do cartão e digitar o serial da máquina e pimba

não é

vc vai no site, coloca um computador do mesmo modelo no carrinho, daí coloca o adicional applecare também no carrinho

daí remove o computador deixando só o apple care

imagina que daí é só pagar e colocar o serial da máquina e tchum?

negativo

daí vc faz a compra e RECEBERÁ FISICAMENTE UMA CAIXA COM UM CARTÃOZINHO COM UM CÓDIGO o qual vc poderá usar para habilitar o seu plano

olha parabens
