Or take a selfie, that’ll generate a picture of an ape!

If it was enough for you to write down then it’s enough to work on not giving a fuck about

That’s the idea. State actors can keep this up for decades while we the people end up exhausted. Stay vigilant, brother.

Fun fact: Decimation is originally a Roman practice. It’s a form of punishment where every tenth man in a group was executed by members of his cohort.

The bastard Jack Welch implemented this as a business practice with a sanitized name: rank your team, fire the worst 10%, even if the team did great.

Shareholders cheered at this practice. They bought shares in droves when businesses literally decimated themselves. Shareholders are mostly glorified gamblers with a boner for hardship. Making employees suffer is just dandy, as long as it can be sold as an improvement.

My point is that shareholders usually don’t know wtf they’re doing. This doesn’t surprise me.

As a Mac user (among other things) I don’t get this type of virus because adblock. Also, fuck the CDN-style throw whatever at users and see what pays.

You are unable to care at that point though.

Why bother with X? Just do l33t CLI h4xx0rs

Much cheaper, no electricity required, no ChatGPT generated clickbait horseshit AND you can kill flies!

Except for the larger companies you still need a bunch of trained experts in house to manage everything.

Yeah that’s my point. The elite assholes that run this world happen to be white, heterosexual men with Western sensibilities.

I also have those characteristics but that does not give me power or invalidate my problems.

This is needlessly divisive. Just because men share characteristics with a subset of people who opress and live life in easy mode does not mean they can’t be disenfranchised.

The minimum requirements are there for them to set a lower limit on what they’re willing to support.

I agree and they’re free to do whatever they want. I get to have an opinion on their actions though.

What I take issue with is they are enforcing minimum specs because they’re choosing to put a bunch of stuff in the operating system that won’t run (well) below those specs. In other words they are choosing the job that the operating system has to do (GenAI in this case) and I think that is up to the user, not the OS vendor.

If the GenAI stuff they want to build in were optional then you could choose to purchase a cheaper computer or upgrade your existing hardware to a current OS. By going this route Microsoft is artificially inflating hardware requirements.

Anythjng that can’t do the job is literally 8+ years old.

So what? How about Microsoft lets me define what ‘the job’ is and I will decide for myself whether my machine is up to it? In my opinion the job of an operating system is to expose computing resources to whatever the user wants to do and then get the fuck out of the way.

Am I reading correctly that ARM is required?

There’s also compatibility mismatch between certain versions of clients and servers. That almost cost me a bunch of files. Thank RMS I had a local copy through syncthing.

Good bot

You could simply sync select subdirectories.

I’ll have to defer to your experience; I’ve set it up on a PC, a NAS and a phone. The phone was connected to an ethernet-equipped dock at the time of setup so the sync was quick and painless.

I don’t see a hit on battery life on a Fairphone 4 running /e/OS after initial sync has completed.

I’ve found Syncthing a better way to handle file sync than NextCloud. Much more set and forget and not a single point of failure. It also syncs a notes directory in flat .md format, so anything can edit them, in a simple directory hierarchy.

There you go. Just so you know, you could’ve Googled this instead of making a pedantic ass of yourself.
