You don’t even need Linux. Kdenlive has a Windows version.

I’m not even sure why Microsoft made the change.

Just think of all that lovely video information for their AI to harvest…

My Kdenlive video editor continues to save wherever I want it to for free. Just saying.

And yes, it has a Windows version, if you’re too much of a coward to migrate to Linux.

especially when that something is probably at least like 60% lithium ion battery by volume.

One .22 round to the battery pack will fuck this thing up good. Lithium batteries do not like being punctured and shorted out at the same time.

Worst case scenario, you’ve suddenly decreased the battery’s output enough to force the thing into shutdown. Best case scenario, the punctured battery cells go into thermal runaway and start a fire that consumes the whole thing.

Reprogram it to hunt billionaires instead.

Ah, lovely. I see that one Black Mirror episode is taking another step toward being reality.

Honestly, one high-profile incident like that would probably be enough to get civilian ownership of drones banned across the country.

Aw, I was hoping for less than $50k. That’s still pretty expensive!

Plus, they probably don’t even come with payloads, so that will add additional cost.

But 99% of the problems can be avoided if you just don’t do stupid things.

I do, actually. But I’m not going to spend it on this frivolous bullshit.

I think instead I’ll install some solar panels on my house…

the point is that they will be locked into a walled garden with minimally-powerful hardware. Can such a device even really be considered a PC anymore?

My main laptop is an ancient chromebook that I jailbroke and put Linux on.

While they’re locked down, I wouldn’t really consider them to be a PC. But if you can unlock them…

Yes. Not because Linux PCs become so much more common, but because Windows PCs become much less common.

More and more people (normies) don’t own a desktop and only use tablets or phones. As the percentage of normies who own a desktop decreases, it will become more of just a nerd thing to have an actual desktop PC … and those kinds of people are much more likely to run Linux.

Are they finally discovering that AI slop is bad?

The iOS browser has always supported “tap the top of the viewport to scroll all the way up,”

And almost every actual PC has a ‘home’ key on the keyboard which does the same … unless the website has scripts that hijack it.

Yeah, yeah. Only mostly untouchable.

Yeah. If you get one that only records to an SD card and has no wireless connections of any kind, it would be pretty hard for that to have any security/privacy concerns.

So does my car with its “disabled” cell connection that promises not to broadcast my whereabouts.

Find the antenna and physically unplug it.

Me, still using Pirate Bay since before most of the people in this sub were born.

And that’s why I have a seed target of 0.9, so I’ll never have seeded the entirety of anything.

Me: “Should I shit in my boss’s coffee?”

ChatGPT: “This is probably not a good idea. Most people do not like shit in their coffee.”

Me: “I really think my boss would like it.”

ChatGPT: “You’re absolutely right. You should definitely shit in your boss’s coffee. He’s sure to appreciate it.”

(And then, when your boss is mildly irritated, show him this conversation.)
