But I enjoy terrible sequels...

In all seriousness, Half the reason I want to watch Robocop is because of the "futuristic" Ford Taurus. I had a 1992 Taurus (second gen) for a couple years and simultaneously loved and hated that car.

Same. I finally dumped Windows 10 on my gaming PC for LMDE6 a few months ago, and I already see massive benefits. It runs games faster, I can do anything I want with it, including multiple simultaneous user sessions, and can even admin the thing entirely from my phone via Cockpit or plain ol' SSH (VPN/local network only, of course).

People will always gravitate towards tools that make their lives easier. That's never gong to change, and is a driving force behind why we have the technology we do now.

That said, this AI shit is clearly not ready for primetime. I do not trust it to have access to my files. Machine learning and LLMs have their place - my phone's keyboard (FUTO Keyboard) runs a local LLM model that learns my swiping/typing habits and trains the predictive text feature on that data - but that's a very specialized application, and I have control over it.

Hell yeah. I run LMDE6 on my gaming PC. Runs fucking fantastic, even plays games faster via Proton than it did on Windows natively.

I haven't seen Robocop yet... I need to. Saw some clips last night. Looks like fun.

MS Paint doesn’t give you advanced features like background blurring/removal and object removal.

Nor should it. It's fucking MS PAINT, not Photoshop. If you want advanced features, use something more advanced. Adding shit to MS Paint when it's gone virtually unchanged for decades without complaint is unnecessary feature creep.

They’re not “calling back to the mothership”. Why do you think they are?

LMAO

By being against them adding these features.

You understand the terms "opt-in" and "opt-out", yes?

MS Office has had the same basic layout for well over a decade now though?

You don’t want to be able to easily edit photos on your personal machine?

That's called MS Paint. It already exists.

You don’t want to be able to do a reverse image search right from explorer?

No! Why would I want more shit calling back to the mothership about my files on my personal computer?

And you’re against people having the option to do these things…..why?

When did I ever say that?

Tabs in Notepad is a nice touch. It allows multiple notes in one window and caches those notes if you close without saving, yet still stupid simple. Except that fucking copilot icon staring at me in the corner...

Layers in MS Paint just feels like unnecessary feature creep.

Linux is compatible with a lot more than it used to be, and for those stubborn programs, there are usually FOSS alternatives, or emulation/compatibility layers. Hell, my machine runs games faster through Proton on Linux in 1440p than it did natively on Windows in 1080p.

And you'd be correct. I don't need or want any of that crap on my personal machine.
