They are pushing features that nobody is asking for and is not making life feel any better (bricking ssd, and ai reading you credit card details), and now here they are telling you, that they will force an update you may not be choosing to do, and do it with AI (which imo, isn't necessary for this process. Last I checked, MS will update when it notices idle time, no?)

If they force my gaming pc to Windows 11, that is fine. I will set up dual-boot with a linux distro (linux mint or whatever steamOS like option I will have). I will only launch windows to play games, and NOTHING else unless I have to.

Thanks for sharing this. I watched it while both enjoying and cringing at it.

I couldn't tell you what the difference is between Chrome and Firefox. But that is the reason I was able to switch. I didn't get slowed down at all in the switch. And the reason I switched is because Google has been consistently suspicious about data. Plus, Mozilla seems to be better for the internet, and I want to show my support.

There was a long time in between using either where I was using Brave. Actually, when I ditched Chrome like 7 years ago, I made Brave my default and installed Firefox developers edition. It took a couple years before my default swapped.

I am pretty happy with how my M1 mac performs on Monterey. Would you share your opinion/guess on if I will feel a difference going from Monterey to Sonoma? I will go look through the details later. However, you are in the trenches so perhaps you have thoughts?

I don't use twitter, and so I am a bystander watching Musk do everything he can to sink it (I assume not on purpose). He owns x.com, loves the idea of it and wants to bolt it on somewhere. Except Twitter has crazy name recognition, so this is stupid and confusing. I am sure it will survive, but this can only hurt the company in my opinion.

Back when the facebook company became Meta, I thought that was an unnecessary but harmless move. This is because normal people who don't care about tech can still say "I will post on facebook".

As someone who is a non-user and a bystander watching all this twitter stuff -- I got two words "yikes... yikes"
