They are trying so fucking hard, it’s so sad. Especially when everyone saw that report of them slashing AI related metrics because nobody is fucking using it.
I can’t wait to build my new PC and install Linux. Cannot wait.
I want this AI bubble to burst so bad, let all this bullshit go up in flames. I want to go back to 2017 when videocards and ram were reasonably priced 🥲
i want to say we won't see 2017 this century but i genuinely do not care if we ever see it again,i just want it to end one way or other so i myself will accept any crossfires from these lizards just to end this nightmare.
I promise whatever your current PC is can run Linux just fine. Pull the trigger. Install Linux on a USB, boot your current hardware to the thumb drive to take it for a spin, when you can see it works fine, flash the main drive with Linux and don’t look back.
That is also the plan! I’m just waiting for 40,000+ photos and videos to finish transferring to a cloud drive I obtained, I’ve got a couple distributions ready to tool around with on a drive, just a few more days and I’m going to finally start the process of getting off this microslop nonsense I’ve been looped into since the 90s.
