I switched a few months ago, never ran into any issues. I recommend!

Pls don’t insult pigs by comparing them to cops. Pigs are very lovely creatures

Thanks but no, I don’t want to buy a completely new hardware just to change my OS

I do have it on the side with some windows plug in right now.

Thanks, right now I do have w11 and I’m fine with it. I have uninstalled one drive and other bloatware, the thing that is making me want to quit is the potential forced ai shit.

Downgrading to w10 is an escape route that seems the most valid, it feels like asking Linux communities is counter productive, because I specifically don’t want to have my OS be a hobby, but I’m asking OS hobbyists…

If Microsoft goes the way of AI slop, Apple will soon follow so I don’t see that helping me much

how does it make money tho?

they will somehow shift the cost on the consumer and continue on

I’m not a child, gamer nor grandma but last time i tried mint a few years ago i literally cried, so it might be something for me

I’m not very tech savvy and I’m just happy to have an account somewhere lol.

recently found out this is a shunned view on a lot of lemmy

AI is making a lot of money right now because of investment hype, bitcoin is valuable because it’s a giant pyramid scheme…

from what I know bitcoin mining is a huge waste of resources and it’s still happening… Definitely not on that large of a scale but I honestly don’t mind exaggerating the shittiness of that tech in specific

personal preference, I like the human touch

I mostly agree, but I’d honestly prefer you sketch of a similar image of the banner than the AI image.

no, I’m a bit computer illiterate tbh, but I’ll look it up and do that at some point, right now it’s just not worth the bother for me really, I’m mostly sad the 15 year old account is dead…

I’m already profiting from unethical labor practices, might as well add to it? That’s not very sound logic ngl

They often don’t let you in without being registered to an app:(

I tried making a new account when I was on a different ISP than at my home, so I need to be on a new device in a new place…

good plan, while we do that we can avoid using ai slop, especially because it’s so easy. and i absolutely do think we should put in our best efforts to live ethically, within reason ofcourse

I don’t I’m just banned there. I would be fine with lemmy if there were more people here with specific tiny sub-comunities like reddit. hell, there arent even big fandom pages here…
