Fucking click bait garbage article, but thankfully the article has a tldr at the top that basically contradicts the headline and saves you minutes of time to realize you’ve been baited;

TL;DR: Microsoft has introduced a paywall for Notepad, requiring a Microsoft 365 subscription to access new features like the AI-powered Rewrite tool.

Better headline: Microsoft forces you to pay to suffer through using their AI tool that no one asked for, application otherwise unchanged.

Yet somehow, they’re the darling of the gaming scene.

It’s fucking bizarre.

It’s really not bizarre at all. You wanna know why game enthusiasts like valve? Take the list the other guy gave you and find a store that has close to half of the features steam offers. Add in great hardware support (my controller and my deck are some of the best experiences I’ve had), and a healthy dose of actually making Linux gaming viable for the average person, and it’s obvious AF why game enthusiasts like valve.

Even if they can’t count to 3.

Some of them are outright ridiculous. Like one of the protein cookie brands I like, 80% of the time I have to hulk out and end up ripping the packaging to shreds. We also see it on chip packages and cereal bags at times too. It’s crazy.

I’ll be done with audible the moment I stop being able to liberate and archive what I pay for.

Until then, they’re helping me build my audiobookshelf

Yeah, at least I understand the bad decision I’m making.

What a shit take. Not all change is good change, and if you think this will be a good change, boy do I have some great ocean front property in Colorado to sell you.

That’s fantastic news! Nvidia drivers are literally the reason I’ve abandoned Linux easily a half dozen times.

I don’t know, the last time I tried Linux the fucking Nvidia driver fucked my system a couple times before I said fuck it and went back to 10.

Going to try again with my amd card at some point

Ah, “cursive”, where half of the letters aren’t actually cursive, and a quarter of the rest actually resemble the actual letter it’s supposed to be.

I hate reading my handwriting.

I have to comment my code because otherwise I have no idea wth I was writing 6mo ago.

Like, I recently had to update a script I wrote 2 years ago and had thought 'this is self explanatory, I don’t need to comment it’s only to have me come back and have to walk the code to figure out I forgot to include an edge case that hadn’t occurred yet …

Inb4 Epic advertising hosting ad laden games just to show how much they value customers money “choice”.

The irony of using one fascist billionaires platform to organize against another fascist billionaire and his platform, but also the government.

Oh yes, another ““accidental”” deployment of a feature that just got accidentally thought up, implemented and deployed.

Damn, and I was just about to break my “have never played Alan wake” streak…

It’s a good idea, but it will only ever be that with the way the US works. Getting 2/3 of Congress and the states to agree on anything is borderline impossible.

Yeah, the average German won’t have heard about Nazi space karen throwing the heil. Especially after he was just there defending Nazis. Who would even know about that, just because it’s world wide news and involves something very poignant to the German people?
