Appropriate uses for AI baked into Windows: • Smart removal of Temp files. • Better detection of unusual activity that may be the result of a zero-day. • Video Up-Scaling and Artifact removal. • Webcam stabilization. • Transcription • Better TTS Voices. • Better Calendar Management • Contextually Aware Auto-correct • More verbose and detailed Event Viewer logs. • Dynamic Task Scheduler • First-party Smart home controls from the PC (without HomeAssistant, IFTTT, and Webhooks). All of these can be accomplished without the collection of user data.

Over what though? Consumers on one side of the banana and workers on the other? You can't be as comfortable and chill as you are at the onset of WWIII while complaining about surveillance. Your country has been at secret war since 2008. You dont even know what that means. You can cry all you want but you have right fight them. They can put you in a camp if they want. Right now. They have had that legal opening since 2008 and Joe Biden extended this encroachment by military intelligence into domestic affairs. Be careful as grounds shift and they can find you by thought. You will be contextualized. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Joe Biden’s administration and national security strategies have used the term "Domestic Violent Extremism" (DVE) to describe individuals or groups posing threats due to ideological motivations. This term broadly encompasses various protest movements and extremist ideologies, including right-wing, racially motivated groups, as well as some environmental and political activists. However, the use of this label has raised concerns about overreach, as it could stigmatize non-violent activists or protesters engaging in constitutionally protected speech. Critics argue that the "DVE" designation can be too expansive, potentially targeting groups like Black Lives Matter activists, environmental protesters, and others under broad interpretations of extremism. The Biden administration has maintained that such categorization is essential for national security but has faced backlash from civil liberties groups, who warn that these measures might disproportionately affect certain communities and lead to unjust surveillance or criminalization of activism​

[@o_glethorpe]

Just asked chatgpt and its answer: If AI products lead to financial losses or compliance issues, companies can't simply hide behind the unpredictability of the technology. Courts might start treating AI-related errors as a form of negligence if due diligence isn’t demonstrated. In short, your comment highlights a looming challenge: selling AI-based solutions without guaranteeing accuracy could become a legal minefield. You are likely to be held responsible unless your product clearly limits liability and provides disclaimers (similar to how OpenAI does). So basically, if I build software using it, I need to tell them beforehand that I can't guarantee anything they paid for Good look selling that.

I switched to Mint for my server and although its supposed to be one of the easiest OSes to use, I'm still having to research terminal commands to setup sharing/permissions/package installations.

This!! I left one of my older desktops to my dad and it's still running win10 which he is used to (can't even install win11 coz requirements). But I can't really install Mint or something for him on that desktop because he would straight up refuse to even open a terminal because he would be afraid of fckig something up. I explain to him some settings etc. rarely. But there is a 0% chance I would explain to him even a simple command terminal.

[@Revermb]

A good thing about the terminal is that it's almost completely universal, many commands are basically the same throughout most Linux distributions (Except for some lower-level distro's like Arch)

[@evilleader1991]

​@@FlaxterIVAn average user never has to open terminal lol, especially not on a user friendly distro like Linux Mint. If you want to download software you can use their own software center (like MS store or Apple App store).

[@theeccentrictripper3863]

Ngl normies are kinda boned for the foreseeable future, the driving ethos behind Linux in most forms is learning the OS and the machine, the devs and users like it that way and frankly people will probably become more entrenched as a tide of people demanding things be simplified or stripped/loaded of/with features to accommodate them starts to grow. Best we can do is help folks around us switch over and slowly transfer knowledge so it becomes less arcane by virtue of experience, but it'll take time and a whole lotta effort.

And if I need to take a screenshot of something ingame, I can happily press "Print Screen" on my keyboard and save just that one screenshot myself. Why force such tools upon us and mingle it into the OS's explorer system so you can't even disable or remove it anymore when it's only meant to store those screenshots locally?

I disagree with you. Recall should not be disabled by default, it should be uninstalled by default. I do not understand why every piece of software has to be integrated at this point. One of the greatest features of linux is that the user decides what is on their system. With windows, I have so much stuff on my system that I do not need (like why is onedrive installed by default???) that it actually slows the system down.

But uninstalling it removes dependencies for other software.... Thats the problem.

My theory (for MS going out of their way to do stuff like this) is they are trying to covertly collect Recall snapshots for AI training, more-so than surveillance. Why? Probably because most folks would opt out if made aware of it happening, first of, and second AI is definitely in the sights of megacorp CEOs who wish to cash in on it. Not on my main PC, nopenopenope...

Hey dude. Just wanted to say thanks. You convinced me to switch to linux. I went with arch (btw) and am currently loving it. I get to update when I want and can do what I want. It almost feels weird to have so much control.

Indeed, its crazy you are allowed to do anything you want. Nothing is off limits and thats cool.

No one wants AI, I am already sick of seeing it everywhere I go…AI voices, AI search summary, AI features wearing out hardware, AI slop…I think everyone would prefer to keep that stuff voluntary, if you want to install it go for it, but I’d like to go back to the way things were.

I finally switched over completely to Linux (Fedora Workstation) from Windows, after dual-booting with Windows for the last 3 years. I am so happy. Everything works the way I want, and there is no nagging from the OS for me to do something I don't need or sign up for a service I won't use. It is the best.

There aren't any viable user friendly alternatives that can run x86 windows programs without issues, but this news will not compel anyone to switch to linux. Even the most user friendly linux versions have a learning curve.

Exactly. Companies are just making things worse with so called AI. My own company after making so much noise about AI, Digitalisation, etc etc is today far worse in efficiency and effectiveness. On top of all this they also promoted DEI and we are all suffering because of our stupid management

[@JohnnyThund3r]

I'm glad the entire Linux words has started to really get behind Linux Mint as the goto distro for new users. I'm on Arch now, but even on Arch there are little annoying issues I run into that are fixed on Mint, and it really just amazes me how much Linux Mint gets right as compared to other Distros that people don't even think about! Like clicking and dragging from the file browser into an application, or launching wine when you click on an .exe by default.

It should be illegal for operating systems to harvest user data and the penalty needs to be a percentage of Annual revenue. Microsoft wouldnt be pushing AI if they lose a percentage of revenue per infraction. The percentage needs to be 5% per instance and 30-100 years in prison for executives if they have 3 or more infractions.

I don't know that they've always been aiming for a Windows-like experience but they've been promoting that for at least a few years. I am personally confident enough in the project to recommend it to friends and family switching from Windows.

[@Peacekeeper_84]

I'm so tired of Windows, I wanted to switch to Linux many months ago but the reason why I haven't done so yet is because many of the applications I'm using to create content are not supported in Linux. Also, I was told that is not very good for gaming. These are the only things holding me back to completely switch to Linux :(

[@theeccentrictripper3863]

It's getting better for gaming but older games are often still unstable, this is gonna be the biggest hiccup for a lot of people competent enough to switch but reticent due to reliance on windows-only applications.

[@sovahc]

Use double boot. Windows for games. For everything else, use an encrypted Linux partition. Windows will not be able to read your encrypted disk.
