(Go stick your head in a pig!)

Come to think of it, “share and enjoy” is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

    Got a new laptop recently. Copilot pops up, so I asked it how to permanently disable Copilot.

    It gave me a wordy non-answer, along with a “fun fact” about my local area — totally relevant and not creepy at all.

    Then, after I demanded it tell me how to permanently disable itself, Copilot gave me a completely wrong answer.

    After specifying the “app or service” I’m using (Windows, you fucking clueless piece of shit), it then gave me a half-baked answer that called commands which weren’t installed by default.

    I then used duckduckgo to figure out how to install the configuration tool copilot said to use but that Windows had decided to hide from me.

    Good job completely wasting my time, you ai-loving fucks at Microsoft. I don’t need new reasons to nuke your shitty software and install Linux, but now I have them. If Linux had native vst3 support, I wouldn’t have even booted into Windows.

    Edit: Stranger in a Strange Land is a great book, and being the sci-fi novel backgrounding hippie culture, I wouldn’t have expected Musk to have read it.

      This whole series of events feels very Hitchhiker’s Guide.

      Edit: Stranger in a Strange Land is a great book

      Not going to lie, it was one of my least favorite Sci-Fi novels. Felt entirely too Just-So. The characters - particularly Heinlein’s self-insert Jubal Harshaw - just came across as vapid, bigoted, and annoying. And so much of the book felt like a climax to an apocalypse everyone deserved (but not in a Douglas Adams funny way, just a deeply nihilistic “Everyone sucks and I hate it here” kind of way).

      Windows 11 is fucking horrible.

      The only reason I still have a windows machine is for PC VR gaming, and even that minimal interaction is annoying. Every major update seems exclusively be MS further enshitifying their OS. It’s an hour of research and work into remove whatever new garbage they’ve added.

        Hopefully steam OS gets released soon and then I can just forget about Windows. Except actually I can’t because I need it for work, but my personal machine doesn’t require it.
