TBH I have a mixed feeling about this.

Really considering moving my main computer to Linux with the way things are going

I did this the moment they dropped copilot on my taskbar without any prompting. It was my gaming machine so it took a little getting used to, but it’s been solid ever since.

I did not ask for an AI chatbot in my os. I don’t want an AI chatbot in my os.

I'm dual booting my laptop and most of the time I stay using Linux. There just no point using Windows except some specific tasks.

I tried doing this the other day. Due to my current GPU (3080) it was too many hoops to jump through just to play a game. I don't want to spend time configuring my setup to make the game run in the little amount of free time that I have ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Although the system is very efficient I've decided to move my side project to be on Linux, making my Windows install to be purely for gaming. I was using WSL previously with a Mac for my day job.

Maybe if I switched to an AMD GPU I'll do a proper Linux gaming setup.

"More useful than Cortana" is the lowest of bars.

More useful than the thing I know my heard people talking about disabling? Wow, what a time to be alive!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

More useful at collecting your data.

Microsoft is doing a really good job convincing me to switch to Linux. Hopefully soon that will be a realistic possibility for me. Fuck Microsoft.

Bing chat sensors it's output so much

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

And the "personality" they gave it annoyed me far more than any human ever has.

What the heck IS Copilot?

I hate articles that tell you, "Blorp is amazing! Blorp is coming out in 3 days! Everybody should have Blorp! Don't miss out on Blorp!'

My Ameliorated Windows won't be affected >:)

[–] peanuts4life@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

I am unimpressed with copilot on Windows 11. Privacy aside, It seems like a web wrapper for Bing ai, which is a performant chat bot, but isn't anything special when you compare it to openai's data analytics ai.

It wasn't able to update PC settings or files, for example. Though, I only had 15 min with it.

Oh goodie, now we can get the best of both clippy and Microsoft's Nazi chatbot, right on our desktop!

"It looks like you're trying to get some more Lebensraum, would you like some help with that?"
"No, you stupid thing, I'm just deleting a few files!"

It appears you are angry with me. Do you want me to explain how great I am?
