"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I have been requested to work from home tomorrow since our IT manager "has to" wipe my laptop and install Windows 11. I am happy to work from my Linux Gaming PC at least for one day before having to face this abyss of idiocy.
Wtf are you talking about? Take the day off. You don't have a computer to work while IT is working on it.
I work from home at least one day a week.
At far as you company knows you don't own a computer.
And the company is unable to provide you with a spare?
I'd show up with a good book instead.
i did that every day back on covid. pretty great.
we should revolt harder against this rto to save real estate money interests bullshit.
to be frank, i also work from home and my work computer runs a propietary linux-distro and never have i seen so fucked-up distro where simple updating takes one hour and launching a web browser takes up to five minutes and at worst two reboots.
Can you give us more details on this cursed distro?
