Microsoft: Cornering the Market of Failure

Switched to Garuda Linux a month or so ago, won't be looking back.
Sure, I got a Steam Deck a few years ago, and switched away from proprietary software to open source at the same time, so the switch was much easier, but in the end the OS change only took a few days of effort.
Changing software is a lot more painful than changing an OS, so make the FOSS switch first and you will find the Linux change a lot more inviting.
Looking at Proxmox as a level 1 hypervisor and running Win 10 insolated from any network access for games and Mint with Librewolf for the web.
I don't care for online gaming anymore so that will work for me.
With recent updates you might not even need to. Latest Nvidia driver seems to have brought some features that help with compatibility. I've not tested enough, yet but it already runs a lot smoother.
That's totally fine imho. Just saying, if you want Nvidia(and I did cuz I had issues with AMD) it's slowly becoming more of an option. Since some DE like KDE want to move to Wayland full time this is coming in at the right time. I did not even notice any framedrops which is huge, suspending actually working now(might have a bit before, have tried that over a year ago and it didn't) and it's buttery smooth.
I mean at some point the normies are gonna have to ask themselves how monitoring "hateful content" benefits them in any way and start to push back, right?
Not sure if normies will ever. Like the anti-cheat/drm slowing machines. It maybe up to the autists to make alternatives like games viable on Linux or develop cracks/workarounds.
Happens every time, the cope on normie retards is incredible.
The boot time is also made worse ( twice+ as long with the malware DRM / anti-cheat).
But fear-not, kernel-level anti-cheat ( so, spyware malware ) always running even when the game is off, to the rescue!
The fuck is FaceIt? First I've heard of it, looks like some kind of esports service?
I don't understand the point of layering in memory hogging anti-cheat software. All you need to do is have a system where if an account gets enough complaints about cheating it gets flagged and only ever plays against other people with the same flag.
Just vector all the people using aimbots and seeing through walls into the same matches so they can enjoy each other's company.
That stops working as soon as the chinks show up. They get their clan alliances to mass report people that they don't like. Games that implement report flagging like that inevitably end up with only Chinese cheaters playing.
I politely told a chink teammate to stop camping and move up in Warthunder and got a chat ban for my efforts.
Weight reports from Chinese people at 0.01 strength compared to English speakers.
Absolutely not. Those systems are beyond easy for bad actors to take advantage of. "Oh, you beat me? Well, me and my friends all just mass-reported you as a cheater, enjoy!" And asking for manual review is pointless because the people they have doing the manual reviews (if there are people doing it, it's probably automated systems) don't care.
Honestly, the best way to do it is to just do privately hosted servers/games and kick people you don't like. Would fix virtually all problems that are cited as issues in multiplayer games. But that's too easy and not profitable enough a solution.
Eh, it wouldn't take a very sophisticated algorithm to detect groups of people consistently voting as a block or people accusing everyone who beats them of cheating. That sort of pattern recognition is actually one of the areas machine learning excels in it.
20 people who consistently play together and consistently flag the same people as cheaters can be weighted significantly differently than 20 people who have never played together before or since flagging someone.
It's just cheaper to buy a piece of off-the-shelf bloatware; the problem is that those tools will always be one step behind.
a) Do you actually think game companies care enough to put brigade detection in their auto-flag software? Can you name one that has done it so far?
b) As with the anti-cheat software (which I agree will always be one step behind), whatever restrictions you try to put on the flagging system to prevent abuse will also always be one step behind.
Normies are the frogs in the pot, they'll piss and moan over this kind of bullshit and then they'll forget about it until the next round of bullshit comes along and the cycle repeats. Back in the 00's the Patriot Act was considered outrageous by lots of people, and then Edward Snowden's NSA leaks made waves too, but here we are with people voluntarily putting Alexa into their homes.
Remember when the original XBOne was gonna require players to always be online, and then pulled that back due to outrage? Yet now many AAA publishers do exactly this. It falls to autists because normies want convenience and they're terrified of looking like they're "weird" for caring so much about stuff like this, which is why SJWs always try to gaslight us into shutting up by shaming us for caring so much about something that they so don't care about that they stalk and SWAT people over it.
Normies are brain dead. You should not assume anything of them other than mindless compliance in all scenarios.
Normies don’t push back. They’ll just move on from video games instead, which is what we’re seeing right now with console sales cratering.
“Normies” are in the tiktok vortex these days. They literally don’t have the attention span for 90% of video games anymore, let alone a movie or a book. It has never been easier to seed ideas or fuel the circus. The sheep have never been more sheep.
Nah. They’re like my mother. Whenever there’s news of spying and the like she’s quick to say “well I never do anything wrong so why should I worry?” All these years and she hasn’t realized that’s the most ignorant thing one could say.
You may as well ban anyone who even downloads minecraft. Most everything you can do involves bad-isms. Building walls, mining, killing native plant and animal life, potentially terraforming the generated world, placing tiki torches, killing destructive/invasive monsters/pillagers.
lmao
The definition of hate is speaking out about your enslavement and replacement.
Okay, so no more windows, and no more MS games. Period.
It's like they're allergic to good ideas and money all of a sudden.
Shit dipping dumb dumb heads, in full autist mode. ☈
That is not what the actual headline reads, so either you are an idiot mislead by incorrect information, or you are a liar. The real headline reads "Microsoft's AI will be inside Minecraft, and other Xbox, PC games: new Copilot features will search your inventories, offer tips and guides". It was followed up with "Minecraft was offered as a demonstration for how Microsoft Copilot will help gamers." Here is the Archive link. The authentic context is still serious enough to warrant discussion.
This proves, yet again, that there should be a rule against screenshots of articles.

Take a look at Minetest if you want to scratch your minecraft itch but don't want Microsoft's nonsense all up in your business.
That's straight-up cyberpunk evil.
I'll stick to the torrents, which are much less likely to have malware. ( They sometimes have it though. )
Can't wait for a company to advertise the opposite of this and people rather use that...it's only a matter of time.

You shared an explicitly fake headline, made to look like the real thing, and when confronted you didn't apologize, take it down, or pull back. You just rationalized it.

That's so creepy, though. Just casually mentioning that 'fighting hate' is a feature that every player is waiting for. It's for your 'convenience'.
If you know how to play guitar, ask Co-Pilot to write a tab for a song you know how to play. It's so hilariously bad.
This is because Microsoft's AI functions are getting built in as a feature set. It's built directly into Azure at this point.
The question is whether or not you're willing to use these tools.
Hopefully people treat it like they treated Kinect.
