What is a turfblaster? I'm confused but maybe someone can explain that to me

MacOS, iOS, GrapheneOS (and even then, Graphene doesn't believe themselves to be doing enough due to the fundamental limitations in AOSP)

There is one distro trying, and even they make it clear that they're bound by the limitations of the Linux desktop's security model at the moment (SecureBlue).

It is also technically possible to harden Windows to become nearly bulletproof but that usually requires third party software like ThreatLocker.

i am so ready for this to be over. i've been on the market for an upgrade for a while now but i refuse to let myself get scammed. this is pure disgust.

I skipped 8/8.1 purely because the look of it annoyed me. XP and 7 basically ran flawless on all my machines I had them on. I wasn't too annoyed with 10 on HDD, but SSD definitely helped. 11 felt fundamentally identical to 10 for me for the first few years, and the AI stuff was when everything fell apart for me. It may be a matter of luck, ignorance, and not understanding quite what was wrong.

The situation with Windows the last few years has left me cynical of this entire craze. hopefully things end up alright in the end.

Not shocking. Elon's company sued a state over banning the use of AI to make CSAM.

Amazon never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity

I mean the fact that one of my biggest sources of productivity back when I was there has been essentially nuked since I left, does make me feel limited even though everything else works really well so far. Hopefully that changes but I'm having a hard time migrating that last piece of the puzzle over.

It does make me feel like we need more people here, to make that work.

Linux which is still stuck at around 3% market share

Windows basically rules the world on desktop PCs

It's strange to me because well, I was a 20+ years windows veteran who managed to never have issues on any of my windows installs prior to the last couple years when the ai thing went full swing. maybe part of that was me, because I was inattentive and reckless, but it really just became too much to ignore. i have a genuinely hard time with the idea of essentially retconning the way things always used to Just Work for me in my Windows days. maybe it was bad when I was there and I just didn't notice. but blegh.

It honestly makes me distrust the whole move because you would genuinely think that if the world depends on your stuff to work you would make it work, AI or not.
