I couldn't look the same at Windows after about two weeks on Linux. Seriously, Windows is THIS bad.

Most people are actually passively opting for Windows.

Computers just come with it, or if somebody install it for them, Windows is the default expectation.

MacOS comes with very expensive Apple computers, and most people just choose Windows. The idea of Linux either never crosses their mind, they may not be aware of its existence, or think it's some geeky server thing.

Most people opting for Windows, thereby, don't make a rational decision between Windows, Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD or whatever. For them, Windows is just how computer works.

Agreed - it's not that there are no space constraints at all.

The question is then whether it's cheaper to buy LiFePos instead of lead acid or to install more solar panels.

Well, technically they're not wrong

Open source is the only way for anything that should enter our brains.

Really hope regulations will come to this.

Still some narrow scope communities holding some people back (but it changes slowly).

Because none of the big companies listen to the privacy argument. Or any argument, really.

AI in itself is good, amazing, even.

I have no issue with open-source, ideally GPL- or similarly licensed AI models trained on Internet data.

But involuntarily participating in training closed-source corporate AI's...no, thanks. That shit should go to the hellhole it was born in, and we should do our best to destroy it, not advocate for it.

If you care about the future of AI, OpenAI should long be on your enemy list. They expropriated an open model, they were hypocritical enough to keep "open" in the name, and then they essentially sold themselves to Microsoft. That's not the AI future we should want.

Yes, that very sodium. The one that combines with chlorine to give you table salt.

Super abundant, incredibly cheap, much more environmentally friendly.

It's a great development that we should keep our eyes on, as some years into the future it will most certainly be available for regular consumers, including you with your install.

Some EV manufacturers, especially in China, have already shown interest in the technology, for all I know.
