The less something is available, the more it is worth.

Take VHS recorders for example. Something that used to be extremely common is now super rare because it doesn’t get manufactured anymore, but tons of people still have plenty of VHS they want to see so they still get used. After a while those break down too, making the pool even smaller.

But you aren’t though. If you can’t get out of it you are bad at depression.

The only ones good at depression are the ones who don’t have it. And they sell self-help books by the boat load.

Then sue them. If they are actually doing something illegal, you will win.

Most don’t have 4x8 m² of floor space available

I asked Perplexity, and it first had the question incorrect indeed.

Then I said that it was not what I asked, and then it gave the correct answer:

“You’re right to push on the wording; as asked, 20 pounds of gold is heavier than 20 feathers.”

Even if LLMs were profitable, it’s not going to be better at talking to LLMs than humans are.

LLMs don’t need to be better. They just need to be more profitable. And wages are very expensive. Doesn’t matter if they lose a couple of customers when they can reduce cost.

It is all part of the enshittification of the company and for the enrichment of the shareholders.

It makes sense for the tech companies to be rushing AI development because they want to be the only one people use. They want to be the Amazon of AI.

A ton of tech companies operate like that. They pump massive investments into projects because they see a future where they have the monopoly and will get their investments out a hundred fold.

The users should be a lot more wary though.

Nah, it is more that LLMs are a neat technology that allows computers to generate stuff on their own. Which has all sort of uses. It has solved the problem of typing big texts on your own. (read: it did not solve the problem of reviewing big texts)

But it has also gaslit managers into thinking it can do much more than its capabilities, so they demand it to be put into everything. With disastrous results.

There are people who swear to trackballs though

If you complain about the wire dragging, you should also shave your arms because the hairs on them drag even more than a cable would.

Yeah, and because the distance is less than a meter and nothing has to move between the 2 devices, a cable makes so much more sense.

I especially loathe wireless keyboards on desks. The thing don’t even move. There is no functional reason to be wireless. If you really want a wireless desk for some reason, just drill a hole and pull the usb cable through. It will save you about 200€ and tons of faff keeping the connection working properly when the device eventually runs out of battery.

A ton of power users who never worked in service desk don’t understand how incompetent the average user is. It is quite something.

I’m laughing my ass off reading this threat because I can imagine every single one happening.

Show me an equivalent to Active Directory on Linux.

And no, allowing users to manage their machine themselves will break their entire computer and every server they can access. Most users never even read a warning if they can just click “OK”.

The problem is that the second option also requires you to go to work in a tuxedo.

Only a small niche of companies allow you to not work in a tuxedo.

So complaining about tuxedos at a job (in this universe) is just dumb.

It is more than functional for corporate, seeing how the majority of companies run entirely on it.

Memes are fine.

But this is straight up propaganda trying to disguise itself as a joke.

If I’d even encounter a dev like the one from the post. I’d laugh in his face and wish him good luck on finding a job that caters to their niche needs.

Nobody said outliers don’t exist.

What we are saying is that the majority (like 80% or something) are run entirely on Windows. No matter what the Linux fanboys want to believe.

You could have had some great points, but the fact that you use “microslop” unironically shows how much of a bias you have. Meaning your points might as well not exist.

You sound like an anti-vaxxer blaming everything wrong with their life on big pharma.

Every single business running Windows computers (which is about all of them) will have an Active Directory running on Windows.

Every company I worked for only ever had a handful of Linux servers and the majority of Windows servers.

Microsoft revenue generated $26.7 billion in one quarter from its Licensing, and even though a lot of it was through cloud, a lot of it also came through self hosted Windows servers.

You live in a bubble if you think nobody is using Windows server.

That is based on an AI slop article full of unconfirmed rumors and clickbait.

Stop spreading it like it is true.
