I would also like to know how you did that because as far as I’m aware Fairphone is not supported.

Thanks for all the hard work people.

That’s such a stupid misunderstanding of what it takes to raise children. Sure, you can fuck on your lunch break, but once the kid pops out you can’t squeeze raising a whole ass human in between meetings, asshole.

They don’t, they keep rolling all day, unlike cars that sit still most of their life.

Or take a selfie, that’ll generate a picture of an ape!

I’m guessing comments were to the effect of “they probably had it coming”.

Oh no, who could have seen literally the passage of time coming?

Great so you can stop now right? …Right?

Fun fact: Decimation is originally a Roman practice. It’s a form of punishment where every tenth man in a group was executed by members of his cohort.

The bastard Jack Welch implemented this as a business practice with a sanitized name: rank your team, fire the worst 10%, even if the team did great.

Shareholders cheered at this practice. They bought shares in droves when businesses literally decimated themselves. Shareholders are mostly glorified gamblers with a boner for hardship. Making employees suffer is just dandy, as long as it can be sold as an improvement.

My point is that shareholders usually don’t know wtf they’re doing. This doesn’t surprise me.

Is the political class that chemically castrated Alan Turing for being gay ultimately causing his suicide bitching about a parlor game?

Why bother with X? Just do l33t CLI h4xx0rs

Much cheaper, no electricity required, no ChatGPT generated clickbait horseshit AND you can kill flies!

Except for the larger companies you still need a bunch of trained experts in house to manage everything.

You hate ads but the article got you to watch this one. 4D chess!

Why? Because higher test scores translate into greater “knowledge capital” — that is, the full body of knowledge available to an economy — and boost economic growth (and, incidentally, the tax revenues that fund our schools).

Ah yes, the only reason to ever do anything: line go up. Not like formative education has any other value.

Yeah that’s my point. The elite assholes that run this world happen to be white, heterosexual men with Western sensibilities.

I also have those characteristics but that does not give me power or invalidate my problems.

This is needlessly divisive. Just because men share characteristics with a subset of people who opress and live life in easy mode does not mean they can’t be disenfranchised.

Install Terminal and NeoVim or WSL

The minimum requirements are there for them to set a lower limit on what they’re willing to support.

I agree and they’re free to do whatever they want. I get to have an opinion on their actions though.

What I take issue with is they are enforcing minimum specs because they’re choosing to put a bunch of stuff in the operating system that won’t run (well) below those specs. In other words they are choosing the job that the operating system has to do (GenAI in this case) and I think that is up to the user, not the OS vendor.

If the GenAI stuff they want to build in were optional then you could choose to purchase a cheaper computer or upgrade your existing hardware to a current OS. By going this route Microsoft is artificially inflating hardware requirements.

Anythjng that can’t do the job is literally 8+ years old.

So what? How about Microsoft lets me define what ‘the job’ is and I will decide for myself whether my machine is up to it? In my opinion the job of an operating system is to expose computing resources to whatever the user wants to do and then get the fuck out of the way.
