I used windows 11 for too damn long before switching to Mint. I feel like I already damned myself.

Wash yourself in the soothing glow of Mint's DE and be born again!

I still need to use it at work. Sadly.

Work is one area I wouldn't care what OS is used. Since I don't consider anything there to be private and its not my hardware at the end of the day.

Yeah, work machines really make avoiding Windows difficult/impossible. And the worst part is that IT’s group policy often prevents individual employees from disabling all of the super invasive telemetry and data sharing BS. So if you want to be able to use the same accounts across work and personal devices, (like using the same browser profile, so your settings and bookmarks automatically sync), then your personal stuff inevitably gets sent to Microsoft. They’ve deliberately built ecosystems where separating your work and personal life takes extra effort, and that is enough to trap plenty of people.

I asked them at work to disable most of the internet. I do talk to copilot when I am bored and ask it stupid or pointless questions. But Google search works (clicking on results are blocked) and i do Google meaningless shit. Google probably knows it is me even if I never used Google at home.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
