    Where’s the part where I can’t turn my monitor on without having to pull the HDMI and reinsert?

    This crap reminds me of console fanboy ism/wars.

      It’s not a joke, heh. After some update in the last month or two, my monitor won’t wake up unless I power cycle the monitor.

      I mean. I love Linux. But low maintenance it is not.

    I really love my switch to linux. It’s not all sunshine and roses, i have some weird things that i can’t really fix. Some problems are “too hard” for me to fix and i don’t care enough. After installing Linux right after windows to dual boot, it’s so fucking nice to not have your computer trying to sell you shit all the time, and you don’t have to jump through hoops just to get you shit working.

    What this comic or meme isn’t showing:

    Linux user spends every waking hour being a Torvalds Witness prophet, browbeating everyone and anyone into using Linux. While proclaiming about free choice

    I had to chuckle in an exasperated way when I opened the Xbox app on my phone… and there’s a fucking Copilot tab in there as well.

    I understand the use cases for AI, but Microsoft seems to be throwing the whole lot at the wall and seeing what sticks.

      I agree. Can’t quite put my finger on it… maybe the window behind the monitor? I try not to assume simply because of the style, but the lack of author credit makes it hard to check anyway.The weird thing is it wouldn’t at all be hard to draw by hand.

        Check out the random items on the desk. They make no sense.

        But yes, the biggest giveaway is those slightly blurry pop ups and that not-quite-comicsans font you see in all that slop.

        It’s also the total failure of a punch line in the second frame. Just so robotic sounding.

        It’s also the font on the pop-ups, and the AI logo.

        There’s a very generic style of Facebook cartoon that these things absolutely nail.

  • There’s also the part where a windows update unlocks a new kind of fear: “what will it break this time?”

    A linux update instead brings the joy of “nice! New things everyone was waiting for!”

    It’s not just AI, but new android phones drive me spare.

    You can’t disable that. You can’t uninstall that. You can’t make a backup of the whole phone. You can’t make a backup of one app and restore it to a different phone, unless you go through Google. We’re going to install these apps you don’t want, and there’s no way to cancel it.

      Universal Android Debloater.

      It’s a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.

      I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

      And even simple things like the gallery is so bad, scanning your whole phone. I want the gallery yo show my photos, not my video collection or downloaded images.

      I’m not rich, but if I could I’d jump ship with my xiaomi 13t.

          Yeah I need a good camera, and I heard the pixel is good. I’ll look into that, I can probably keep an older xiaomi for my banking app with all the google crap on it…

          • Actually, don’t rule out that your banking app works on Grapheneos! Mine is not marked as supported in the wiki and works!

            I don’t have contactless payments because gpay doesn’t work, but it’s not a big deal (and it can be solved if you use curve or if you buy a garmin smartwatch)

      And even if you want to install Android Android, not Google Android, you need to set up Google Android, agree to Google T&C to unlock your bootloader.

      Lucky you had a motherboard with a CMOS battery. Without that*, you needed to enter the time and date every time the computer booted / rebooted.

      * Or a capacitor instead.
