The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
Even when I had to use Windows, I used Notepad++. Microsoft's Notepad has messed up the formatting of so many text files, over the years no one should even consider it.
That said, why would anyone even want or need AI for what should be just a simple text editor?
good cause literally anything else is better than notepad so if this pushes people to download literally anything else instead it's a good development
How do I get started on Linux?
Choose an operating system (common choices for newcomers are typically linux mint or ubuntu, but your choice of OS really doesn't matter imo). Burn the OS image onto a flashdrive, and boot into the flashdrive. Then follow the install instructions onscreen.
What have you tried so far?
It has never been free since you bought it together with the windows license :^)
Now it's another micro transaction on top of the product you already paid for.
Its actually good because its just the LL/VM things
At this point anyone that voluntary uses windows is just braindead. I love Linux but if you don't wanna use that then even Mac is better than that... For now
Just to clarify, when you say voluntarily does that except people who need specific programs that just can't be used on Linux? Because it would in my mind.
They will do it with ma office, although you can use cracked version.
Oh my god, I got my mom on Linux as fast as I could. She's doing fine, she's 70 plus.
Why would you post such a shit article?
