Microsoft is watching for you, don’t worry

Lmao

Windows doesn’t sell enterprise shit to normal people

This is why you gotta totally avoid sites like this one https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

Personally I just use plain old FM radio in my car

Great if you only want to listen to music half the time.

HDDs don’t require power to maintain their state. So that’s an advantage they’ll always have over SSDs

SSDs are not flash memory.

They’re not search engine indexable though.

You can’t view it without logging in.

Does it get contaminated with something like the cooling water of a nuclear power plant?

This doesn’t happen unless the reactor was sabotaged. Cooling water that interacts with the core is always a closed-loop system. For exactly this reason.

There are no downvotes, so I’m not sure what point you think you’re making.

Maybe they are, but it’s not “absolutely zero” like you said.

Do you regularly get malware from xbox controllers?

Steam has no competitors because nobody is competing with them, not because they are forcing nobody to compete with them.

Steam isn’t abusing their dominant position to prevent competition. Other companies could make their own storefront and compete with steam. Nobody does in a way that’s actually comparable to steam.

Steam has a monopoly, but it’s not because steam is actively keeping it that way.

The whole purpose of art is to be an outlet for expressing ourselves as human beings. It exists out of this need for expression; part of what makes a work worth appreciating is the human person(s) behind that said work and the effort and skill they put into making it.

This is completely and utterly your own opinion, not a fact. I know several people who can’t draw for shit, due to various reasons, but now AI allows them to create images they enjoy. One of them has aphantasia (They literally cannot imagine images).

This is basically trying to argue there’s only 1 correct way to make “art”, which is complete and utter bullshit. Imagine trying to say that a sculpture isn’t art because it was 3D printed instead of chiseled. It makes 0 sense for the method of making the art to impact whether or not it is art. “Expression” can take many forms. Why is this form invalid?

TOO LATE

Obviously I’m trying to rationalize what I already said, that’s how an argument works.

I am arguing that better technology reduces the need for working hours.

That’s it.

Yes, but that’s not because technology doesn’t reduce the need for working hours, which is what I argued against.

And you think they just did it because?

They obviously thought they deserved it, because… technology reduced the need for work hours, perhaps?

In response to better technology that reduced the need for work hours.

Unions fought for it after seeing the obvious effects of better technology reducing the need for work hours.

technological advancement doesn’t allow you to work less,

It literally has (When forced by unions). How do you think we got the 40-hr workweek?

We should use them to replace workers, letting everyone work less and have more time to do what they want.

We shouldn’t let corporations use them to replace workers, because workers won’t see any of the benefits.

Ooooo thanks
