As a dual booter such a dumb take. Mac and Windows are much easier for the masses. Have to debug stuff with Linux is not something the average wants to do or even can do. Not to mention the biggest problem, software compatibility. Also the last part gave me a chuckle. “Elderly people who are not familiar with advanced technology and prefer clean and simple computer usage.” Are you fucking kidding me? Mac is the way to go for old people IMO.

Technology@beehaw.org•VW vehicles to converse with drivers via ChatGPT by mid-year
1·2 years agoI have been spending a ton of time with Chat GPT 4 and really losing faith in what it can do reliably. Like I guess it could be fine if it is used like Google Assistant but I wouldn’t trust it about anything important. Been doing math refreshers and the AI just made up a solution that was totally wrong. After I called it out it just added another number randomly into the equation and wouldn’t acknowledged it lol. The point I am making man it is getting rushed into everything when it can’t be relied on.

Technology@beehaw.org•Meta Plans to Charge $14 a Month for Ad-Free Instagram or Facebook
1·2 years agoWhen I used Facebook I wouldn’t of actually minded this if they also added some customization for your feed. However $14 is a big ask. Maybe for ALL their services including the Oculus.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Google: Haven't provided your phone number? It'd be a shame if something happened to your email...
4·2 years agoDidn’t help me when my account got locked. Had 2fa and all the info they wanted and never got the account back. Fuck google.

Technology@beehaw.org•Google doesn't work anymore ?English
2·2 years agoSeems to mostly work fine for me. However Google as a company is a fucking mess so doesn’t surprise me people have problems. I have had more problems with my Pixel 7 and Google Maps seems to be getting worse and worse.

Politics@beehaw.org•Ocasio-Cortez endorses Biden's reelection campaign, sending a strong signal of Democratic unityEnglish
18·2 years agoBiden is trying to get some progressive stuff done. For the most part pretty happy with his agenda. Still be nice to have someone running that isn’t old as fuck.

Technology@beehaw.org•Weekend poll: Do you currently use a third-party Reddit app?English
3·3 years agoBoost is still my favorite. I’m done after the third party apps are gone. Going to block Reddit in my router to stop me on desktop haha.

Technology@beehaw.org•Google Domains shutting down, assets sold and being migrated to Squarespace
1·3 years agoHow Sundar still has a job is mind boggling. So many failures and obvious mismanagement.
EU and the US need to get together and start breaking up large companies. Pretty much every industry is now a couple large corporations that are large enough to crush any upstarts, which you know if bad for innovation. Also will add a major overhaul on patents and IPs.

Technology@beehaw.org•Full memo transcript of u/Spez to reddit employeesEnglish
5·3 years agoThe public offering will be a disaster, hopefully. I don’t see how investors aren’t questioning Spez’s leadership after handling this is the worst way possible. Could of been straight or worked with the third party developers to integrate ads and premium. Instead he jacks up API rates to close apps like a coward instead of just telling it how it is. Mindblowly terrible leadership.

World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnesEnglish
1·3 years agoBut that would require a small amount of effort. Seriously though I get some cities aren’t bike friendly (they could be though) but worked in a city that was pretty great for bikes. Small/medium sized manufacturing plant with a bunch of rednecks and almost all of them lived within 5 miles. Of course they were crying like hell when gas skyrocketed and other than me there was 2 people that biked. I think the best part is a good chunk drove gigantic trucks.

Politics@beehaw.org•Trump finds no new lawyers in time for Mar-a-Lago documents arraignmentEnglish
4·3 years agoGuessing they will just assign him a lawyer like anyone else. Really curious how this is all going to work. I imagine anyone in the court room will probably need some crazy clearances.

World News@beehaw.org•Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout “will pass”English
5·3 years agoStill hoping all the mobile developers come together and make a competitor. I like Lemmy but hard to beat how Reddit is structured and the size of the communities is an advantage. Also wouldn’t mind seeing Reddit’s public offering be a disaster.

Operating Systems@beehaw.org•What's the best Linux alternative to Windows for gaming
3·3 years agoI mean feel like most Linux distros are the same performance wise. Always like POP OS had a nvidia driver already set up which made things easier.

1·3 years agoThey might be getting DDOS. Website is messed up and won’t even load for me now. LOL.

Technology@beehaw.org•Here we go, the AMA with /u/spez is live
13·3 years agoI am actually amazed he answered it. Massive ego and a fucking idiot.

Technology@beehaw.org•Here we go, the AMA with /u/spez is live
12·3 years agoI wonder what he was expecting. Honestly surprised it wasn’t heavily curated. Deleted my account but wish I saved it to ask him when he was going to resign.
Edit: Haha wow. He expectantly is getting hammered. I like to think he was living in some bubble and now his ego is getting a reality check.
Went team red just because all of nvidias partners seem to have a ton of problems. Back in my high school days Gigabyte and Asus were pretty reliable companies but man I have had nothing but problems with Asus lately.

Technology@beehaw.org•what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back
12·3 years agoThe API change was just another nail in the coffin for me. I was running a sober and large local friend group and my account was randomly nuked for “promoting violence”. I appealed it with the comment because it wasn’t even close to that and then my alt was banned too. Like their moderation/appeals is just three bots in a trench coat. Fuck you Spez.
So yea I think I am officially done. I have some alts but going to either close them or get them suspended during the AMA lol.
We need free college but glad he is doing what he can.
