what kind of “non-standard windows 11 installs” ?

Is it possible to use deterministic automation for some boilerplate instead of LLMs?

It just fires that last bullet three time.

firing the entire executive staff.

Guaranteed they’re a huge expense, and they have no interest in making cool games or experiences. It’s all just angles to dominate or manipulate the customer. Like, just give us computers that play games. Focus on running fast and effective and having cool titles. But nooooo, they want gimmicks and angles and cost-cutting and microtransactions etc etc

I’ve never had those problems. I’m especially surprised by the boot script issue. Mint and Ubuntu are the main “beginners” distros. You’d probably be fine if you went with mint again. Pop_os is supposed to be good. I use EndeavourOS with kde plasma desktop and it’s fantastic. But you have to run the update script weekly to be safe.

I think you can install your own bluseky instance and federated with others.

That “yet” is the narrative hook to trick us into feeling like it will soon be trustworthy, and that our assumed suspicions refer to a temporary state of untrustworthiness. Clever girls!

I think that’s called juice lol

sounds good though

What kind of tea did you get?

I was confused too, but I’m still glad you didn’t add the /s because that always kills the joke.

Oh look at Mister-or-Missus Fancy Bagel Pants up here flaunting their bagel 🥯 wealth, oh and look it was fresh they just “got” it this morning so it was still soft and delicious

What flavor bagel?

Did you graduate high school or university/college?

I know you’re not looking for advice or anything, but I do think you should find something to dedicate yourself to. It could be a marketable skill or just learning to build something. Lifting and writing code is a great way to spend a day. Or maybe gardening or woodworking, electronics, rock climbing, I don’t know lol. Something to nerd-out about, not just something to pass the time. Your system wants you to pursue something more seriously.

a few minutes

do you have any hobbies? get any exercise?

I’ve never seen a calculator being wrong, and I’m genuinely curious what you’re talking about.

EndeavourOS is really good. Arch-based but easy to maintain. You’ll never have to do a major release upgrade. The only issue is to keep it updated, make sure to do little updates weekly. They have a great community and it’s a wonderful OS.

the meta key

Reading. Writing. Coding. Studying. Exercise.

Is the HDD removable? I’ve swapped hard drives between thinkpads before and linux didn’t seem to care that it’s suddenly on a different machine. So maybe you can install something on the HDD on a different machine (that has a usb) and then swap the HDD back into the Surface. Maybe there will still be things to smooth out later, but it’s something to try.

It’s all grotesque mimicry. I haven’t seen any ai-generated erotic content. I’m afraid to ask where that keeps showing up for you. But I see ai content everywhere else, and the word “slop” is perfect.

The picture on the right is AI.

What’s the point in doing this?
