My home PC is purely for personal entertainment, so less of an issue, but there’s little to no Linux support for my simrig hardware.

I can live without Game Pass.

Thanks. I’ll look into that. My current version had been pushing me to update, which I’ve been postponing and I’m guessing is free, but I’m not sure it’ll give the choice of version. My work computer just updated to W11 Enterprise literally this morning, so I’ll get myself used to it here before making the leap.

I’m probably going to have to move to 11 at some point (Linux isn’t for me right now), but I would like to be able to disable as much bloatware as possible. Vigilance it is then.

Can Recall not just be turned off?

They can still fuck off.

Not to mention my internet fees.

:shrug: So be it.

Then I guess I’m not looking at those pages. No skin off my nose. That said, Firefox with Ublock Origin plus a couple of other ad-blockers seems to be working pretty well for me. Anything with a paywall, I just move on.

The trade body called it “illegal circumvention technology”

Lol. Fuck off.

If you’re going to use an LLM, at least follow the links it provides to the source of what they output. You really need to check their work.

God help us all.

Something similar is coming to Australia as well.

Oh, well that’s ok then. :|

And what are they going to do with that money they ‘saved’?

Patrick H Willems, particularly his ‘Star Wars Christmas Special’, is the reason I signed up to Nebula. He’s decidedly non-political.

I’ve been using YouTube as my primary source of entertainment since 2009. I don’t think I’ve looked at the trending page even once.

Has the internet ever been a ‘monoculture’?

Lol. I only ever go to my subscriptions page.
