Yup.

At work, at home, perhaps not on the internet.

Poland. 30-something years old. I am the only one with a house, half of my friends have flats in the city and the other half rents or lives with parents.

I found Royal Republic way too late in my life

Skyrim, firefox, blender, libre office, heroes of might and magic 3

To be fair, I don’t think I would date someone whose whole personality is just their gender…

Aside from that - depends who they are, how they behave etc.

In terms of foolish - many features of Windows 11 are currently just a border-less chromium browser running online version of them, eating RAM like crazy.

So “foolish management decisions” seems to be a theme of recent years.

I fear the damn thing will be on by default, like most AI tools, with convoluted process of turning it off.

This type of tools should be added on a per-game basis.

Imagine AI hallucinating additional enemies on your screen when you are playing something like League of Legends.

As for games like skyrim - they might as well turn into wish-fulfilling AI-powered “go on adventure in fantasy land” machines and nobody would notice the difference.

The greatest suffering in life, that anyone can experience no matter who they are, is unfulfilled expectations. Girl isn’t interested in you, Weather isn’t what you want. Boss didn’t give you a rise etc.

According to Buddhism solution is to stop expecting things of others, of life, of reality. You can only control yourself, expect of yourself if you must.

Perhaps a bit of an exotic philosophy, but I think it applies here nicely.

I’ll be frank with you. As long as my customers are captive on either Apple or Google platforms I can’t do shit.

Regulate advertising space and personalization algorithms.

Yes, it will kill a large portion of current economy, so maybe do it slowly. But generally speaking you should be able to find what you want on the internet, not what advertisers want you to see.

I second that. I was initially skeptical about switching to Linux Mint, but every game in my Steam library works perfectly the same as on Windows.

Sitting at home with my kids while my wife takes another course about horses. I think this time is for license to be a judge at competitions.

I like writing stories.

With a little help of AI you can also try indie game dev. My advice - use it as an interactive tutorial and better search engine. You can learn a lot when AI gives you examples and then do your own thing.

Problem is - if you look at how “World Powers” behave, do you really wanna live in such countries?

Which Europeans would just love to invade neighbors like Russia and USA?

Which Europeans would love to deregulate their countries in order to enrich elites like USA?

Or perhaps which Europeans would love to live under state surveillance while their country buys out foreign infrastructure like China?

I use Linux Mint

Steam games work on Linux Mint without issues, or at least I was lucky enough not to have issues so far.

Linux alternatives to popular apps are very good (Libre Office, Inkscape, Gimp etc) and they don’t try to shove AI down my throat or demand subscription.

I also would like to include that in terms of ease of use and interface familiarity Linux Mint looks quite a lot like Windows XP.

From home since epidemic started and I would want to hug covid if it was a person.

My productivity in office was always low. Too many distractions, too many inconveniences. Then there is an issue with getting to the office - it’s an additional hour of my life they are not paying extra for. And of course - at home I can work while doing simple chores. But the most important is that I can be with my daughters, instead of being just another father that spends half a day at work and the other half sleeping.

I use it daily as a glorified search engine. Ever since Google decided that showing ads is more important than showing search results ChatGPT is much better.
