It’s like the song Well Done by IDLES, more sarcasm than anything

What is love?

You can loosen up the dust with the bristles and then pull it out with the toothpick. I wouldn’t recommend using metal tools.

Yeah, a toothpick or even a toothbrush will do the trick if you’re careful. And without creating unnecessary waste.

Just usage pings or actual data?

It’s weird that I can’t just login using my existing Affinity ID, also Canva’s privacy policy states clear as day under section 2 that they’ll use your data to train AI models, and that policy applies to Affinity.

Edit: Data collection within Affinity seems to be opt-in for now.

Why not just, you know, employ an actual human to do your chores in the first place? It’ll almost certainly be a lot cheaper than this clanker…

Besides, there’s no guarantee that those teleoperators won’t be literal slaves.

They realise that A LOT of those videos are not primarily about Windows?

I’ve seen many reviews of vintage devices where the uploader just casually installs Windows 11 in a “nonstandard” way, just because it’s the only way.

Besides, you still have to activate it. Rufus doesn’t help you get around that, so it’s not even piracy.

Raising unrealistic expectations is what companies like OpenAI are all about

Well, he too needs to stay relevant somehow. Making ragebait statements is one way.

Sounds like the Paul Is Dead theory. Which is totally real btw, no doubts about it.

I’m still not sure if Microsoft just doesn’t get it or if they just love making stuff nobody wants… but then again, nobody wanted clippy back then either. I’m not sure Mico will age as gracefully as Clippy did, though.

I guess in a perfect world companies like MS or Google would get fined for wasting so many resources on shit they shut down a year later. Not saying Mico is gonna be one of those things of course, I would never!

Elderly care. If I had to guess it’s not because they’re good at it, but more because you don’t really need to be skilled to get into it. Reputation-wise it’s a step above working at McDonald’s in this country (which is a shame).

Reminds me of that uWink restaurant lol

So basically, getting rid of tech that spies on you and can’t be used anymore after a certain point I guess.

There are enough people that are perfectly fine with having any phone or any device to do basic stuff like making calls. And besides, if you wanted to get rid of something there are more responsible ways to do that than “me don’t like, me smash” IMO

And that’s not getting into brainrot AI content and manipulative machinations of social media.

It’s very easy to not use social media (in a harmful way) and not consume brainrot AI content in my opinion. Sure, it’s getting more difficult to differentiate I guess, but it’s still not that difficult if you try even a little bit

Comparing to book burnings is only a false equivalence

Which is why I didn’t make that comparison, I guess you wanted to reply to @Buffalox@lemmy.world

I have no idea what smashing perfectly functional devices is supposed to accomplish. I mean yeah, it’s an anti-tech rally, but creating e-waste is kinda shitty.

Actually, I don’t think I get the point of this whole thing at all. They’re not rallying against climate change or fascism, it’s just “phone bad”. I guess I’m just too old to get it…

“Meet the computer that spies on you in totally new and innovative ways”

I mean the whole “AI” trend would be just “whatever” to me if they didn’t force it onto people that hard (and if it didn’t fuck over the environment).

Luckily I installed [REDACTED] on my rig years ago!

Bugger. Almost thought I could hold on to my free not-nft long enough for some idiot to pay me 0.00000000000000001 BTC for it

I’m confident that I can speak English fluently and in a way that other people can understand.

That’s about it.

Jake Paul still exists? Ugh
