The deed is done. Debian is installed. Windows is gone for good.

30 years of Microsoft OS experience down the drain, because they can't not be capitalist dicks.

What a waste. 🙁

@aral @DaveMasonDotMe I don’t blame them. But I am hoping that if Microsoft makes NPUs standard in laptops, we will Linux supporting this hardware too. Linux for Qualcomm snapdragon elite blah blah ARM chips.

@DaveMasonDotMe I am sorry to hear that. What was the proverbial last straw that broke the camel’s back?

@slashdot @bull500 One of the comments on /. is that you can choose a color profile on regular Android phones to get a display that is easy on the eyes. I have never heard of this.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information

@sushubh How it is that Perplexity or even Arc Search are not providing these wildly wrong answers that Google AI Overviews does⁉️ There are limitations of LLMs but these overviews on Google are especially bad.

The Dutch VVD being kicked out of the EU liberals for joining a coalition with the Dutch fash, and the German fash AfD being kicked out of the EU far-right for being too much even for LePen are things that slightly cheer me up.

@ainmosni But the EU parliament is expected to shift right, isn’t it? All these “centre-right” parties are opportunists that will shift right when the center does.

@IceCubesApp Is it possible to have an option to include the person who boosted the post and brought it into my timeline to be included automatically when I reply? When people boost posts from publications, I want to talk about the story with them.

What I really miss about twitter is being able to @ a brand and blast them after all other options of customer support have failed. Not because it achieved anything, just. You know. To vent spleen

@AmbaAzaad that is the best reason to keep threads or Twitter account active.

This food delivery app has an offer on where if the fail to deliver within the advertised time, they both refund you and give you the value of the meal.

There’s a marathon on here today, so I ordered some food, which didn’t get collected, and now they’ve paid me. So I ordered some more and yes, it wasn’t collected either.

adnan,
@adnan@1210.nl avatar

@GossiTheDog Such delivery targets are usually the delivery person’s targets. They are allowed to miss a few deliveries and the company will pay for it but eventually they start getting penalized. Such refunds are common in India.

    I don’t think enough people realize that even if AI doesn’t get any better than it is right now, a massive wave of job displacements is coming with just greater adoption— first with fewer jobs for fresh graduates but then with redundancies up the entire management ladder.

    adnan,
    @adnan@1210.nl avatar

    @AnirbanM I haven’t found any task in my field where AI can do the job efficiently, viz low cost and low error. I am a programmer.

    adnan,
    @adnan@1210.nl avatar

    @AnirbanM they still don’t seem autonomous. I can imagine more efficiencies but I can’t imagine replacing any human with an LLM.

    adnan,

    @nixCraft Resourceful clients like Ice Cubes and Phanpy already will show the quoted Mastodon post if they recognise the URL to be a Mastodon post. I think people who wanted this feature already have it.

    Starting to get sick of this stuff, Brave. I should not be trying to figure how to turn this off, because it should never have turned on without asking me first.

    adnan,

    @kentbrew this must be costing them money to run. What could possibly be their motivation to give it to people who don’t want it?

    Vertical tab trees. Who can give me vertical tab trees?

    adnan,
    @adnan@1210.nl avatar

    The vertical tabs seems like a much better way to organize tabs. I have separate browsers for work (Chrome) and play (Safari). It is always the Chrome that is full of tabs, usually from many days ago.

    Google released Gemini, and pulled it because it produced black nazis. Google released AI Overviews, and pulled it because it says put glue on pizza. Google releases major products and doesn't seem to know they're disasters. How does Sundar Pichai still have a job?

    @MikeElgan Because stock has quadrupled under him. What Google needs to do is replace their product people

    I’ve lost hundreds of followers on Twitter this week writing about the potential and impact of LLMs on people and businesses.

    No idea if people are bored with the topic or my takes were just that bad.😁

    Either way I think LLMs are disruptive and the question is just how disruptive not if.

    @carnage4life I also didn’t agree with https://mas.to/@carnage4life/112493647032495440 but it is no reason to unfollow. Your posts are always insightful and I like that you explain your reasoning

    @rafaelcaricio there was a scream? My downloads completed overnight so the computer was always silent.
