To hell with ‘AI’

But in the Fediverse you always have the option to walk away, join another instance or even host your own.

WTF, why discredit your own article right at the beginning? Such a weird line.

Its “The Register”.

I have tried it… its not bad

There IS no leaving. If you are IN, you STAY IN.

If you are on Linux, use a real editor like Vim or Emacs and not… THAT

Eeeehm… this is ragebait, right?

The last REALLY good Windows was Windows 2000… and i am going to defend this hill until you take this yellowed out PS/2 keyboard out of my cold dead hands.

If the abominable intelligence is killing every corner of things we consider good its time to start killing the “AI”…

I just don’t like that Cthulhu like creature of unimaginable horrors called Systemd that thrusts its tentacles into every subsystem.

Fuck Systemd

Well, it is what de create, right? Why not encouraging people creating short form videos that are decisively not brain-rot?

If they would produce a super stable, backward compatible system without “AI”, without tons of dark patterns and with a traditional UI… let’s say, a Windows 7 reboot with compatibility to modern software and released under a Free license… then I would honestly take a look.

Recently i feel the years piling up on me… i mean, for me, personaly, in my feelings, a C64 is old, a Core2Duo with 2 GB RAM is still a pretty decent office machine, i still convert € to DM in my head and an Xbox 360 is still the console i was well too eager to buy a couple of years… goddamn… about 20 years ago.

Nah… i don’t trust SSD’s, had too many dying over the years without any form of warning.

I write this post from a Core2Quad machine with 8 GB of DDR2 RAM and a spinning harddisk… and the system feels quiet fast and nimble.

You could say the same about drugs…

Why should we need “equal power” to some hypothetical “cloud pc”? We did video cutting, 3D rendering, webbrowsing, videochatting and so on in the late 90s with PCs whose CPU speeds where measured in Mhz not Ghz… with the PCs build in the last ~15 years i really, really see no danger of running out of useable devices within my lifetime (i am slightly over 40 now).

If there will be some time in the future when its only possible to get “meaningful employment” or “make appointments” using some cloud based shitstain i will happily spend my last days doing my part in helping to burn down this dystopic society.

I did use it a couple of years ago extensively, but moved back to the basics later on: Termux and Rsync.

My computer, my rules… and if I want a piece of software out it will move out.
