OLD NEWS! The article dates from Jul 17, 2026.


It will change. China is now more and more synonymous with huge R&D budgets for innovations.


Eh… $$$$$ > ethics unfortunately.


Yes, Reddit has more users, but often, they don’t act like humans. They don’t contribute to discussions. Often, they karma farm.
On the other hand, Lemmy/Piefed feels like Reddit used to be. It might be small, but it feels human-led with no gamification incentives.


Wait, you don’t use an adblocker?!?!?!?!?!


The author of the blog is living in dreamland. Microsoft will never release Windows Lite because, to management, Windows is a conduit for AI and subscriptions.
Linux is the answer.

You’re 19, you’re still learning. If you truly want to invest long term, invest in ETFs. What you’re doing right now is gambling because you want a return on your money ASAP. But it doesn’t work like that. It requires patience.

I suggested a friend to try out Bazzite (KDE desktop). He told me it felt like he was playing on a console because everything works from the get go. He didn’t have to tweak or install anything.


Interesting:
The company blamed the expense of running the platform as a reason behind the decision, **but a shift to a more AI-focused business seems to be the real culprit. **

Management makes me laugh. They often make decisions on a whim without thorough planning. In my opinion, AI is here to stay. However, as companies like Ford have realized, you cannot replace humans with AI. AI is simply a tool for humans.


Realizing that I what I know is that I know nothing.
It’s sucks. I use them, very handy. I think they should replace the glass with a metal door and use LED to indicate whether the balls are there nor not.


Yay… It will be expensive to build an AM4 system now…


You do you. You’ve been advised.
This. As with any technology, it will always improve. The American government helped the Chinese by barring the chips from them, meaning they had to program more efficient models.
