Windows 10 was ok-ish until they announced

Windows 11 and ramped up it's enshitification... They improved the tiles idea a lot over windows 8

Windows phone 7 was great too...

I use Linux now though too, I've found flatpak isn't a silver bullet though: depending on what distro you're using and what distro whoever made the flatpak was using sometimes strange issues happen such as not loading in dark mode or losing settings on close/shutdown...

Please drink verification can

Side note: I thought that meme was from idiocracy, but apparently it's actually from a 4chan greentext and I had made a false memory of it being in the movie 😅

Moderation kinda depends on identity, as the trolls who want every room to be toxic will enter every room and make sure it's toxic if there's no rudimentary identification.

it enriches the pocketbooks of the techno-fascists that run those datacenters.

Depends, in a lot of cases it costs them more money to service the query than they charge 😅.

Although it's all borrowed money so it doesn't matter to them...

Still causing all that havoc on the environment and poisoning with potentially proprietary stolen code though...

They're gonna be running those data centers regardless though, as most of the compute time is spent on training new models...

AI "thinks" whatever you tell it to think...

It can be good at generating boilerplate code or copying an existing solution, so maybe it might be useful for less critical parts such as adding a GUI for some feature that was previously limited to the command line...

Maybe it's similar to how any prolonged session with generative AI starts to spiral and double down on the trend it started out with, with more extreme or exaggerated ideas.
