It might be. I remember buying a laptop at that time and it came with 8 and it annoyed me so dang much.

They lost me when they removed the start button on the left side of the taskbar in version 8.1 (I think it was) to… Be cool with the kids (I think 8.1 was supposed to be touch screen friendly)? I don’t even know, but I went back to Windows 7 for a long while.

The backlash with the start button was so huge that they put it back on the taskbar in Windows 10 (at least mine has it and is the reason I got Windows 10). I’m currently refusing to update to Windows 11, because it apparently crashes when playing certain video games and I’m not about to have the other trash bugs that come with it, which I’ve been seeing posted on Microsoft help forums when I search for Windows 10 related questions. Fuck that noise, I don’t want to deal with it.

I was just banned from Reddit for promoting Lemmy and upvoting anti-Trump comments. No joke 😂 It finally happened

That is not how it “basically works” where I live; doctors don’t care about what I do for a living or how much money I have, they just treat me like everyone else. The triage is by priority (as in emergency and compatibility of the organ). If they used AI, it wouldn’t be for the choice itself, but for keeping track of the waiting list. The AI itself choosing based on criteria like age, sex, race, work or culture would be unethical.

Yep, basically. How it’s gonna go: instead of basing the transplant triage on morals, priority and the respect of human life as being priceless and equal, the AI will base it on your occupation within society, age, sex and how much money you make for the rich overlords if you recover. Fuck that noise.

I’ll look it up, thank you!

I’m so tired of AI and bots, man. The mainstream internet is run by bots for bots, at this point. Just looking at a YouTube comment section makes me realize 85% (at least) of the comments are political propaganda/disinformation bots and crypto/money scammers.

Right now, you can tell who is a bot or not by AI generated or Pr0n looking profile pics, copy pasta tactics and the age of the accounts (with comment history and how many comments they typed or spammed), but eventually it’ll all blend together into a moshpit of bots posing as people, that all “think” and say the exact same thing about every topic imaginable so that the actual human beings reading won’t notice the rich are trying to influence them to think a certain way to influence politics. Fk that.

I need alternatives to YouTube, btw, if anyone knows any that aren’t supported by Nazis and can tell me, I’d appreciate it a bunch!

😂 I’m stealing that lmao

Respectfully 😇

It’s a funny meme, rooted in reality for some communities, due to their conservatism or beliefs.

You can’t even be a centrist on Reddit anymore and point stuff out about left and right policies and attitudes. You can be a full on Nazi or full on Communist, though. It’s quite tragic.

Reddit is also banning and warning people for UPVOTING “violent” comments (or what they now consider violent and somehow right wing subs don’t get the same censorship applied; or we’d see them bitch about it). It’s now a dystopia.
