It’s been fine for the average nerd for a couple decades. The installer has been mostly unchanged since 2005 or so, and I don’t see much difference in an installed system either. I think you can live boot it ahead of installation now, maybe that’s a big deal to some people?

I got one of those when I had to go on antibiotics for a few weeks. Best decision ever. My brain has enough to keep track of already, no need to add another.

Climate@slrpnk.net•US EV Charging Program Faces the Axe in Budget Bill | Legislation that could end the partial government shutdown would slash funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program.4·5 days agoI don’t wish death on anyone, and especially not Mitch McConnell. I do wish him a long, painful stay in hospice, though.

Technology@lemmy.world•Unredacted files reveal Anthropic’s ‘secret plan’ to ‘destructively scan all the books in the world'English
1182·5 days agoI assume “destructively scan” means to cut the spine off so they lie flat, and that one copy of each book will be scanned? Isn’t that a pretty normal way of doing it in cases where the prints aren’t rare?

16·6 days agoI discovered that there’s a separate application which just reinstalls Teams all the time. I don’t remember the name, but it had Teams in the name. After I uninstalled that it finally stopped popping up.

5·6 days agoI think it’s more that they’re not really making money on Windows anymore. The money is in cloud services like Office 365. So Windows is just being used to push people towards what actually makes Microsoft money, disregarding whether they actually want those services.

Note that this article completely buries the lede. This is the last paragraph:
#Enterprise pushback is also influencing decisions#
Separately, enterprise users have pushed back against Copilot in managed environments, prompting the software giant to test options that would allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot more easily on business devices. This indicates that the rethink isn’t just about consumer sentiment but also addresses corporate deployment challenges.
The reason they’re having second thoughts is due to enterprise customers, who are the only customers they really care about the opinion of. If it was just home users complaining, they would not be adjusting course.

1592·7 days agoI imagine this is why MS is finally backtracking a bit on the aggressive pushing of AI in every app. They’re doing Clippy all over again, but OS-wide this time.
Just impressive how hard they managed to screw the pooch here. Have they forgotten that every other Windows release is universally hated? They had a good thing going until they discontinued Windows 10 before Windows 12 was out. Now they’ll probably need to rush out another version, because the name Windows 11 is forever tainted.
We’re going to be saying that a lot.

News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots
5·10 days agoS and X were only 3% of their sales combined according to the article. Discontinuing them makes financial sense.
Usually, yes. But in some movies they drive the plot. The sex scenes in A Somewhat Gentle Man (2010) are hilarious, help establish the character, and are a pretty challenging wank.
The slow-motion train wreck will continue for quite some time.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that 49% of americans believe the country is worse off under Trump than under Biden. 32% believe the country is better off. 19% say it's about the same. English

The Nobel Committee is appointed by the government and mostly consists of retired politicians, so the lines are a little blurred.
Also not the first time someone blames Norway for something the Nobel Committee did. China was butthurt for a decade after Liu Xiaobo got the prize, and removed visa waivers for Norwegian citizens as well as restrict trade.



Depends entirely on your distro. Some distros, within weeks, other distros will take up to a few years. Just depends on whether your distro prioritizes bleeding edge or stability.
