wow… OS Subcription-Based with AI?

you’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy

I’m glad I already moved to Linux for 2 years

    Windows 12? Well, I’m using Debian 13. 13 is a bigger number than 12; therefore, Debian is better than Windows.

    So when they said “windows 10 will be the last windows”, they were kinda right. Just not the way the imagined…

    I heard when it gets a new virus it calls a number in the Virgin Islands to try and help so your wife doesn’t find out you have been looking at Russian whores…

    If you need to use Windows, this is the chance to buy a lifetime license to Windows 11 for cheap, before it disappears…

    Ok thats enough, sick of this. I am at the point where I am crossing out all the software I considered to be needed or weighing in foss alternatives just to see if MAYBE microslop platform would still be viable to me.

    Though all those are just rumors, I dont see the actual development be very far from this. No go. Thanks for helping me decide.

    Well I’ll not buy buy it.

    Then again I’ve never directly bought a microslop product in all my decades of using windows.
    I bought one pre-built pc in about 1995 that had it on, so I indirectly paid for that.

    Full functionality is said to require a dedicated NPU with at least 40 TOPS of computing power.

    Because hardware is getting cheaper by the day, especially RAM and SSDs, so I should be happy I get to rent a reviled, unwanted, AI-crammed OS from Microslop to put on my not-at-all expensive new machine I have to buy just to run it, that will package all my data up and send it home on the regular, via bandwidth I also pay for, to use it to train their AI for free, along with every other byte of private data they’re stealing around the world as fast as they can get their hands on it. But wait, I’m not happy enough! Because then Microslop also gets to sell that same private, personally-generated data along with geolocation and wifi triangulation and every other privacy-obliterating feature they can cram in with it to advertisers for ad targeting wherever I go, as well as to my own hostile government as surveillance should I happen to be brown, not cis-het, and/or suspected of engaging in thoughtcrime. AND there’s even a bonus! My subscription fees, as well as my data sold every which way they can flog it to others of the Epstein class, will very likely fund genocide, just as it has done in Gaza and elsewhere. Win/win all around!

    Yeah, no, fuck that.

      Not only do you get to pay for the hardware to be able to use the software, and then pay for the software to be allowed to use it. When you use the software it siphons various user data off of you to train their AI with, so that you, the valued customer, can also pay for that AI service.

    Microsoft’s Copilot, the AI assistant the company has been aggressively injecting across the ecosystem, will now be a core part of the next Windows iteration rather than a supplementary feature.

    Clippy 2’s team HAS to have some serious Epstein level dirt on Satya Nadella, it makes no sense to see how reviled this shit was in 11 and double down on it.

    Excellent. Finally the cycle of alternating good and bad versions of Windows will be broken. It’ll just be bad versions from here on out.

        Vista was better than people give it credit for simply because we now have 8 and 11 to compare it to. Vista sucked but it wasn’t intentionally hostile towards the user like new versions of Windows are
