Cortana is amazing, the new Siri is smarter than ever, Google Gem—

Yadda yadda yadda, they’re all been promising these amazing personal assistants for years and they all sucked, now they’re promising they’ll finally stop sucking and surprise! Still haven’t.

We know your next Assistant is gonna be dumb as rocks too, come up with a more interesting lie at this point…

Clippy

Stop trying to make Clippy a thing.

Nobody wants or likes Clippy.

We want Bonzai Buddy.

I see you’re playing Baldur’s Gate 3.

Do you need some help with that?

Not sure I want a Bonzai buddy either.

Mr. Grape ape can keep his advertising and info collecting to himself.

What about a Jarvis? Or an LCARS assistant?

And honestly it’s never been a better time to make the jump to Linux gaming.

Running bazzite myself.

How does Bazzite compare to Nobara?

Both are based on Fedora but the main difference is that Bazzite is immutable, while Nobara is not. What you prefer, is highly subjective.

If your question is aimed at performance, I have no hard data on that and it will depend on your hardware of course, but they are probably quite similar, since the base is the same.

Don’t know. I only run Ubuntu and bazzite at home.

It’s incredible how well steams compatibility software (Proton) works nowadays; 99% of games I’ve tried, even when explicitly listed as ‘windows only’ work great once you force-enable compatibility.

I’m at the point where I just assume that a game will work.

The only “problem” games are the kernel anti-cheat games that I don’t play because I don’t want kernel anti-cheat.

Yeah; no video games should ever have unrestricted access to the entire system. ESPECIALLY anything with multiplayer.

Any developer that applies a rootkit (kernal anti-cheat) to their games should be shunned out of existence.

Nice. I’m on Nobara for about a year and a half now. Love it. The community is amazingly helpful.

I’m starting to think this isn’t just a money grab…

Tech oligarchs want us to offload critical thinking to their own AIs, who will give us the answers they want us to have.

Worse, they really believe those lies and lack the ability to question themselves.

Thinking, connection, interaction, etc.
They’re trying to force anti-social behavior to capitalize on it.

They want their programs to think for you, to be your friend, to compose your messages, summarize communications, etc.

ooh, I get what Windows Recall is for now!

in a not-so-distant future:

[Clippy rolls up smug as fuck] Windows Automated Trust & Safety has detected you may be attempting to [research certain delicate historical topics|plan a protest|subvert the will of the Party/ruling class]. Please wait patiently where you are, the proper authorities have been notified.

The idea nobody ever thought was a good idea that they went ahead and did anyways? Yeah, makes a lot more sense now! Cram an AI in your PC, give it full access to all the things you do on it through a series of screenshots, and be sure the system prompt includes “phone home if they act a little… Luigi-ish”.
