#Microsoft #Recall and #CoPilot are the two main reasons I ditched #Windows for #Linux this week.
It has nothing to do with #AI. I use #AI/ #LLMs every day. I have a local copy of #LMStudio and #Ollama installed and I use both on a regular basis.
I just don't want any AI tied into my operating system. And frankly, I don't trust Microsoft one bit. (Pun intended.)
Recall is still a #privacy and #security nightmare. Microsoft can try to polish the turd as much as they like but it's still a piece of shit.
This will be abused. By Microsoft. By hackers and scammers. By Law Enforcement. And by Intelligent Services.
Mark. My. Words.
I ditched Adobe when they started that subscription crap. LOL.
Going to miss Affinity Photo, but just like I knew I would miss Pixelmator when I ditched Macs back in 2017 I eventually got over it. Krita and Gimp are quite capable. So is Inkscape. I'll survive.
Super-Lightweight Operating System boots off a 1.44MB Floppy Disk. 💾
[KolibriOS lets you do simple tasks and even play games on your legacy PC.]
While most operating systems are written in C and C++, KolibriOS is written in pure x86 assembly and as a result small and lightweight enough to run off a standard 1.44 MB floppy disk.

What is the retro computer you once had, and wish you could get back?
1: GRiDCASE 1520.
It had a lovely red plasma display, amazing keyboard, and the thing was made out of thick magnesium which seemed almost indestructable. Later model became the first laptop to go into space. 286/10, 1MB.
2: NeXTstation/Turbo.
I picked up a working complete system with monitor and all accessories for $100 at a local swap-meet in the late '90s. It was quite fun, but at that point it could no longer compete with the cheap x86 hardware flooding the market.

I'm a 40+ IT professional that started his career tinkering with the C64 in the 80s.
I was on Twitter for a few years but that appears to be going down the drain lately, so figured I check out this Mastodon-thing.
Interests are music, technology, programming, electronics, 3D printing and retro-computing. My partner would say I have too many C64s and MCUs. (I'd strongly disagree.)
Hope to meet new people and have a fun and interesting time on here.

You know, thinking about it, the only reason why drug companies can charge exorbitant amounts for cheaply-produced medications is with the connivance of insurers.
If everyone had to pay the retail price, many people wouldn't be able to pay for those drugs at all - so, by the "law of supply and demand" that people keep going on about, the pharmaceutical producer would have to lower those prices to be able to sell the drug.
But insurance companies negotiate "discounts" for their members, so the actual sales remain high - and almost nobody is paying the retail price.
This is pretty clear collusion to defraud the consumer, on the one hand, and also to create incentives for people to buy insurance - which is pretty coercive.
It also vastly distorts the profitability of the companies in question, which misleads investors - so kind of securities fraud, if you look at it in the right light.

Технологии, которые развиваются с каждым днем, предлагают нам удивительные возможности для новых видов досуга и отдыха. Современные разработки в области интернета, мобильных приложений и виртуальной реальности делают наш досуг более разнообразным и доступным. Одним из таких примеров является онлайн казино, которое приобрело популярность у множества пользователей, стремящихся найти новые способы развлечения и азарта.
Мир онлайн-игр давно перестал быть чем-то ограниченным и нишевым. Сегодня онлайн казино привлекает миллионы пользователей, предлагая не только классические игровые автоматы и настольные игры, но и инновационные форматы, такие как живые дилеры и многопользовательские турниры. Это дает возможность любому желающему попробовать свои силы в азартных играх, наслаждаясь при этом качественным контентом и современными технологиями.
Одной из главных особенностей онлайн казино является доступность. В отличие от традиционных игровых заведений, которые часто требуют физического присутствия, виртуальные платформы могут быть использованы в любое время и с любого устройства. Это позволяет игрокам наслаждаться игровыми процессами в удобное для себя время, будь то вечер после работы или выходной день. Для многих пользователей это стало настоящим прорывом, поскольку они могут испытать удачу без необходимости путешествовать в другие города или страны.
Кроме того, онлайн казино предлагает широкий спектр бонусов и акций для своих пользователей. Регистрируясь на платформе, игроки могут получать различные бонусы, такие как приветственные подарки, бонусы на депозит или бесплатные вращения. Это дает возможность значительно увеличить шансы на выигрыш, а также создать атмосферу дополнительного азарта и волнения. В свою очередь, для операторов онлайн казино бонусы являются важным инструментом привлечения новых игроков и удержания постоянных клиентов.
Однако не стоит забывать о важности безопасности при использовании онлайн казино. Большинство платформ предлагают своим пользователям надежные системы защиты данных и честную игру. Важно выбирать только те сайты, которые могут гарантировать безопасность и конфиденциальность, а также имеют лицензии от регулирующих органов. Это поможет избежать неприятных ситуаций и защитит интересы игроков.
Совсем недавно стало возможным использовать для расчетов криптовалюты, что значительно расширяет возможности пользователей. Теперь для пополнения счета и вывода выигрышей можно использовать не только традиционные валюты, но и криптовалюты, такие как биткойн или эфир. Это еще один шаг к модернизации и улучшению пользовательского опыта, который привлекает внимание все большего числа людей YaxshiKazinolar.com. Удобство, а также отсутствие необходимости в обменных операциях делают такие платформы привлекательными для пользователей, которые ценят быстрое и безопасное совершение транзакций.

Hi #Fediverse, I've got myself into a bit of a bind 😊
I have been working with a local primary school to try to get them to adopt the fediverse either through Pixelfed or Bookwyrm.
However it's become clear that this exposes the users to too much risk if I use an existing instance.
So....if you were to be setting up a fediverse instance for a class in a primary school, what would you choose (Pixelfed, Bookwyrm, Mastodon etc) and has anybody done this before?
Many thanks for guidance!
Can't help you with your questions ... but ... thanks for posting this issue. I now have a better understanding of how Mastodon works.
It certainly got me thinking about creating a federated instance that's more private in nature.
