Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-04-16T14:50:32+00:00

Copilot: The software nobody wants, but everybody will get.

Not me though, I use Debian.

You've gotta love it, actually. While Microsoft is exclusively focused on enshittifying and making Windows worse, Valve's Steam Deck is sneaking up on them and gaining market share/momentum. Much like with the Iphone and the Ipad, it will be too late to correct course and right the Windows ship by the time Microsoft notices what's going on.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-04-09T15:27:09+00:00

Who could have possibly predicted that creating a world where consumers can only buy locked down shit that they are not allowed to modify, alter, or repair, would result in something like this?

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-03-16T02:59:36+00:00

The only thing worse than pissing in your own pool, is pissing in somebody else's. Injecting ads and popups on me while I'm using a competitor's software is straight-up malware. If I wanted to be nagged, I would get married. At least then, I wouldn't have to just use my hand.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-03-14T16:34:44+00:00

Here we see the latest Microsoft acquisition in progress.

If the US government wanted to do something productive for a change, they would stop Facebook, Google, and Microsoft tracking everything people do.

Whether you're filling out a psychological profile online, paying your taxes, or looking up x-rated videos, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are watching.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-03-05T17:46:23+00:00

The next step will probably be making this thing pop up every fifteen minutes, covering what the user is doing, whether they like it or not. lol

Don't forget to take into account the number of users who didn't want this installed on their computers in the first place.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-03-04T23:07:05+00:00

Sorry about the Javascript paywall thing. It comes with the clusterfuck dogshit abortion of enshitification that the Internet is morphing into/has morphed into. Soon, you won't be allowed to read any articles at all online unless you are simultaneously signed in with Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple so that they can be assured that you are human, track everything you look at and sell that data to the highest bidder.

Anyway, as far as AI chat bots giving tax advice...

Jurassic Park said it best: They were so obsessed with whether or not they could, that they didn't take the time to stop and think whether or not they should.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-03-01T05:11:55+00:00

Reminds me of the MalwareBox One debut a decade ago, where they wanted to force you to be connected to the Internet at least once a day or else all your games would get disabled.

Unfortunately people get stupider and stupider by the decade, so this sort of business model is getting closer and closer to reality now. More and more people are comfortable with the idea of their stuff refusing to work if they aren't connected to the Internet.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-26T23:09:14+00:00

Microsoft is like that creepy uncle who doesn't take "No" for an answer, except, unlike the uncle, everything Microsoft does is sanctioned by the US government.

But just like with the creepy uncle, the best course of action is to stay as far away from them as possible. Far, far far away.

EDIT: Also, if you don't give them what they want, they'll just steal your shit anyway and say it's a bug.

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/16/24074712/microsoft-edge-automatic-chrome-import-data-bug-fix

Not scared at all of this old as fuck, mentally deficient sack of shit.

I do have a legitimate question though. Why is so much of the world run by people who are so old that they have mentally regressed to the state of a toddler?

Why not put a 45 year old engineer or someone with a doctorate in charge of things, instead of people who probably couldn't tell you what they had for dinner last night? Do people who are free from dementia and Alzheimer's not lick enough corporate ass, and is that why we don't let them run the show?

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-19T07:32:11+00:00

In Reddit's defense, if you don't give the big tech/AI overlords the data they want, they'll just steal your shit anyway and say it was a bug, or for your own good, or both.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-19T03:44:30+00:00

It was all about getting consumers to embrace Windows phones and tablets by bringing the desktop down to their level. Huge flop, obviously. Windows phones and tablets are d. e. a. d. dead, and Windows is steadily, though slowly losing market share.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-18T03:47:30+00:00

I had an idea where anyone who browses the net while not logged into a Google account and a Microsoft account and a Facebook account and an Apple account and a Twitter/X account (all at the same time), is deemed to be a bot, and automatically barred/rejected from visiting most of the Internet.

You know they'll implement this eventually.

As for Hollywood, I couldn't care less if AI drives them out of business. In fact I would see it as a positive.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-16T22:45:45+00:00

Tablets and phones, sure. Consoles, hell no. I would love to see the Xbox fail in the market after what Microsoft tried to pull a decade ago, but even if it does/by the time it does, they will own 70+% of the game industry anyway, making it a moot point.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-15T05:49:01+00:00

Are you ready to be nagged to death for money by literally every website you visit? You thought the cookie banners were bad, intrusiveness, dark patterns and all, don't make us laugh.

Also, this will be the scapegoat and justification the Chrome people will eventually use for reintroducing web integrity/trusted computing into the browser, "to make sure it is secure".

God I hate having everyone and everything completely figured out. And if you think providing websites with "micro-payments" will make advertising and tracking go away, falls out of chair with laughter.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-13T22:31:44+00:00

The most entrenched players in the market get exempt from the new rules that were supposedly designed to ensure a level playing field for smaller ones. Government "regulation" in action.

Almost as spineless as the US; at least the US does not even pretend to care at all about reining in tech companies.

Small company: "We can't effectively compete because monopolists are using their monopolies in one market to drive out competition in other markets!"

US Government: "We know. Here's a quarter, phone someone who cares."

EU: "We know, we have new legislation in the works to fix this mess... now excuse us while we render it completely meaningless, by not applying it to literally the biggest companies in the world."

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-12T06:29:24+00:00

It would be so nice if Debian KFreeBSD had finished development, and we could just do "apt-get install kernel-freebsd" on our existing installations, while giving the people who are doing this the middle finger.

Maybe that's why they want to diverge Linux and BSD so much with stuff like Systemd and Wayland. Making it harder to escape.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-12T05:17:25+00:00

I think you misunderstand the situation. The change implemented in the production kernel version, breaks drivers for all Nvidia cards. Why in the world would Nvidia want to do that? I could maybe understand Nvidia breaking compatibility for older Nvidia cards, to sell the latest ones, but there is simply no way Nvidia would want what is going on here; because even their latest cards won't work.

Also I think the kernel developers who push these changes that are designed to sabotage Nvidia and their customers need to consider that Linux may be used in e.g. critical medical equipment. If they want to humiliate Nvidia, they can make a CUDA competitor that is mature and widely supported, but instead, vandalizing other peoples' stuff seems to be easier for them to do.

Again, the breakage on display here is not a bug or mistake, it's a "feature", coded by someone to disrupt functionality on others' systems.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-12T04:00:02+00:00

Quality of flash getting worse while price simultaneously goes up... smells like capitalism!

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-12T02:32:11+00:00

So yeah, they're breaking production systems now. This is not a bleeding-edge development or experimental environment. It is supposed to be reliable and stable. Honestly I'm tired of this bullshit squabble between a select few kernel developers trying to sabotage NVidia and fuck over us users. It has not been determined by any court of law that use of proprietary modules breaches any license, so from my perspective, what you are doing, is straight-up sabotage, trolling and subterfuge, and it's really no different than some punk-ass teenager going around breaking other peoples' windows.

Therefor, the Linux maintainers should ban and reject these select few developers from submitting further patches to the kernel, as has been done with University of Minnesota. To the developers who are breaking this, you are obviously not that high and mighty when it comes to free software ideals, otherwise you would not have allowed your code to make it into proprietary corporate shit-boxes that are swimming in closed source garbage/DRM such as smart TVs, set-top boxes and Android phones.

Patches (not) welcome.

Reminds me of the Nintendo Virtual Boy. AKA their biggest mistake of all time.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-10T16:45:21+00:00

I thought they backed down from this because of a public uproar. Don't get me wrong I am no Sony fan, after the rootkit thing, and Securom making my legitimate older disk based games no longer playable on a new computer; which was the entire point of the shite all along; making sure I can't still use what I bought a decade later.

That's why I'm "not interested" in giving them any more money.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-04T03:37:31+00:00

Before enshitification and late-stage capitalism, games like Duke Nukem 3D came with programs to extract the game files and create custom maps and mods, right on the official CD! When you would quit the game, it would even inform you of this.

EDIT: Also, consolidation and acquisitions in the games industry will hasten the arrival of mandatory subscriptions for games... once the big players like Microsoft can make it into a "take it or leave it" affair, as is the case with so much in the tech sector today.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-04T02:44:59+00:00

Surprised they can't just fix this with a firmware update. They could even go all Orwellian and either detect/make sure that all sold vehicles have had the update applied to them, and/or disable the ones that have not had it yet until they do have it installed.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-02-03T16:58:08+00:00

Did I mention that the biggest reason I stopped buying games, is because I don't want to give some piece of shit on the other side of the world the ability to disable my stuff after taking my money?

The big companies who actually do things like this, using overseas proxies and shell services to avoid association with their brand and simultaneously dodge liability, are probably laughing so damn hard right now. "Oh no, it's illllleeeeeegal!"

So apparently today, programs running on consumer PC garbage have to take steps to protect themselves from their data being stolen by other supposed legitimate programs also running on the same system, that the user doesn't even want being installed or ran in the first place.

Maybe each program can encrypt it's own files or something to stop competitors from pilfering the user's data. Or society can collectively switch to an operating system that isn't literally malware.

Myocarditis-Man · 2024-01-30T19:15:01+00:00

The government can't even get Boeing to properly assemble their planes, and THAT comes after the MCAS nightmare and supposed increased scrutiny.

The idea that this same government is going to do anything to punish Microsoft for lax security when it comes to customer-facing services (you don't see Xbox/Pluton being compromised because Microsoft actually cares about the security of these), is... bwahahahaha

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-12-27T16:42:59+00:00

Imagine if a restaurant that I regularly visit started putting rat shit in my food, so that I now have to pay them extra to avoid it.

This is the gold standard of customer service when it comes to the entertainment industry (games, movies, TV, you name it), and it's why I just don't give them money anymore, period.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-12-24T17:08:57+00:00

As far as Microsoft's Ewaste Extravaganza goes, on the bright side, we in the west will have more cheap/free computers to run Linux than we know what to do with, and people in third world countries will have plenty to eat. (The last bit of this is a joke, obviously.)

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-12-23T16:59:37+00:00

Not just Linuxbros. If Google is smart, they will launch a campaign to convert all these old machines to Chrome OS Flex "for free". It'd be easy theft of market share from Microsoft.

"Microsoft doesn't want to support your hardware anymore, so we will. Install Chrome OS Flex today and say goodbye to Microsoft Edge forever! It's free."

Hell, Windows has become just as much of a privacy dumpster fire anyway. In fact Windows has become worse than Chrome OS, because only one of these two feels like staying in the sleaziest roach motel in town, with nag screens, dark patterns and popups everywhere. Google may not have a great privacy reputation, but at least they know better than to do this.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-12-22T02:40:51+00:00

The real question is whether Microsoft can manage to fix this mess without fucking something else up in the process... lol

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-12-21T21:40:16+00:00

It's depressing how little has changed, actually. Most users are still racing to adopt cloud services where all their personal data is abused by corporations and governments, and all they have to show for it is a higher subscription bill this month than the last one.

It's like they learned nothing, or they just don't care. And to think, a man threw his American life away to expose what we all suspected all along.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-12-21T17:10:42+00:00

More dirt cheap/free Linux computers than one could possibly want.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-12-15T23:14:21+00:00

They really are driving away the techies with behavior like this. It's so heart-warming and satisfying to see the negative sentiments towards them going mainstream. All Microsoft will have left, are the grandmas who don't know how to defend themselves from sleazy business practices, thereby ensuring that Edge becomes the new IE, where only people who don't know any better are using it. But grandmas would rather use their Iphones or Ipads to go online than a dog shit Windows PC.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-12-10T15:11:23+00:00

This is the sort of thing that conclusively, without a doubt, proves animals are smarter than humans. Animals quickly learn not to trust, but humans are stupider than a lump of coal; stupid enough to support the same corporate shitheads that constantly screw them over, again and again and again.

Being naive and or clueless the first time is one thing, refusing to learn from one's past mistakes and continuing to make them while expecting a different outcome, is quite another.

So yeah, the customers who are losing purchased content here are getting exactly what they deserve. It's always fun to point, laugh, and say "I told you so."

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-11-24T14:58:24+00:00

Use Debian or Arch and Linux will probably give Windows even more of a thrashing. No snap crap + less bloat overall = more performance.

You know you're living in a free country when the government dictates what stuff you are allowed to repair.

China steals IP, but America has created a world where you can't own the shit you buy and can't fix it when it breaks. Both of these are bad, but one of them is much, much worse.

Let's load up a 10 or 12GB scene in Blender and see what happens. This here ain't much different than claiming that a 48 inch TV has as much screen area as a 72 inch TV.

Faster memory with lower latency will not save the day when it is exhausted. And no, thrashing the solid state drive to death with a swap file is not an acceptable solution.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-10-30T18:15:56+00:00

Splash! That's the sound of five more tons of E-waste in the ocean. Still, it's nothing compared to what they have planned for the PC market with the dropping support for so many CPUs.

The fact is that if you're like me, and only interested in escapist single player games with an immersive story, and not interested in playing online and hearing shrill voices shouting obscenities in your ear, the downsides of connecting your console/TV to the Internet outweigh the upsides, by, probably a factor of ten.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-10-30T13:43:03+00:00

Do not want. Most ARM systems are completely proprietary, making it impossible to run a vanilla Linux kernel on them. The only reason this is possible on X86 is because it's a true standard. If we see a proliferation of ARM based PCs, we will also be seeing a large number of machines that can't effectively run anything other than Windows.

Yeah sure you might be able (with a lot of work) to make a version of Linux that runs on yours, and only yours, but you'll have no wifi or video drivers, and if you do, they will be proprietary and only for kernel versions X Y and Z. This is already how it works in Android land.

If I ran the world, there would be an international policy where anyone who cyber-attacks a hospital, is permanently banned and becomes completely ineligible for any type of medical services or care going forward.

Since they don't have a textbox to answer the question, because they have nothing but contempt for their customers and are not actually interested in what we think; only browbeating us into submitting to their agenda, I figure we can list our reasons here.

I don't respond well to bullying or coersion. When you forced your software onto my computer without my permission even though I already have another browser that I am happy with, you already crossed that line.
Computers exist to shut up, respect my personal space, leave me alone and do as I say. Your software fails at all of these.
I trust you less than the other guy, if that's even possible.

I would actually be all for them giving users a survey, only if they allow users to respond in a text-box, and disclaim that responses will be publicly posted, if only to see what answers other users would come up with. Think of it as sort-of an anti-marketing campaign. You can even screen out all the vulgarity and profanity, I'm pretty sure it would still be a very entertaining read.

That is all.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-10-23T22:49:47+00:00

At this point, I am wondering how many different settings scattered all around opt me into sending Microsoft my browsing history.

At least I would be wondering that if I wasn't using Linux.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-10-19T00:11:57+00:00

"If you won't use our shitty browser that is just a rip-off of our competitor's, at least let us steal your data!"

And since they opt you in to syncing your activity to the cloud by default, you better believe that's where it's going, and that's why they're allegedly doing this in the first place. Frankly I don't understand why this crap is not criminal. Oh wait, US justice is the cheapest hooker that money can buy, that's why.

The worst part of accessibility is that, if you do all of the work to make stuff perfectly accessible for the disabled, a bunch of teenagers with ADHD and the IQ of a cockroach, AKA UI designers, will screw it all up six months later.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-10-13T16:51:30+00:00

Wayland... If it doesn't work with your NVIDIA graphics card, then get a better GPU. And if it's not compatible with your accessibility software, then get better eyes!

Here we have the most well-thought-out decision since Canonical's crusade to nuke 32-bit libraries from the archives right as Linux gaming was starting to gain momentum, reasoning that if Apple did it, then they had to do it too.

It's pretty amazing and remarkable the progress Linux has made as a usable desktop platform when people high up in the ranks are actively working to sabotage it.

Regarding the guy saying he's shocked they would go that far.

When it comes to tracking you, big tech is doing all of the things you can think of, and also plenty of shit you haven't thought of yet. (as demonstrated here)

Being sneaky is what big G is all about. For example go do a search there right now and right-click on a result, copy it to the clipboard and notice that what you get isn't the actual link, it's a link that has been wrapped/encased in a manor that lets them know which result you click on.

The bottom line is, you have zero chance at programming the computer of a self-driving car to handle all of the dumb shit that other motorists will do. And when stuff goes wrong, humans have survival instinct and generally react well to unforeseen situations. Computers fail spectacularly at both of these.

Nothing short of another GWX-style malware campaign, where Windows nags you literally every day whether you are ready to "upgrade", and then just does it anyway after you have already refused their offer 350 times, will get people to throw out their old computers and buy a new one with Windows 11.

Hot tip to engineers and regulatory/safety authorities. You fucked up massively when you did not mandate an always ready and easily accessible way for human occupants to shut down the computerized vehicle in an event that it goes rogue. Something as simple as a power switch that cannot be overridden or ignored by software would suffice, and would have made the situation described in the article a complete non-issue.

Web Integrity API from Google will be the end of Firefox anyway. Unless you are satisfied with a locked down browser on a locked down piece of hardware which is open to zero user customization or freedom, analogous to a shitbox from your cable company, and the polar opposite of what PCs and Firefox originally stood for.

Myocarditis-Man · 2023-10-01T22:51:07+00:00

Google and Facebook...

Their goal is to know more about you than you know about yourself. I'd be surprised if they don't know the length, weight, and overall volume of the shit that I took this afternoon.

EDIT: As for how that would be implemented, they could have software running in my phone that analyzes the plop sounds while I'm on the can to determine the above factors of my stool. Has somebody patented that idea yet?

If the GPU market was not in the toilet, mainstream cards would not come with a useless 8GB of memory in 2023. Maybe Intel will put pressure on the AMD/Nvidia cartel, if Nvidia does not squeeze them out of the market first.

Android makers screwed themselves with the policy of "only 3 years of updates". One of the reasons I am willing to pay more when it comes to PCs, is that they last a hell of a lot longer than that. Oh yeah, and I have more control over PCs and what they do. No, I don't use Windows.

Not if it is open source and entirely functional offline, things that are easily achievable with the crazy-as-fuck computers and especially GPUs we have today.

It's getting too expensive and too power hungry, and at that point you might as well just get a mini PC. Remember that $60/$80 is the price before the scalpers have had their way with the market. Pi is a "hot" product (i.e. in high demand), like game consoles, thereby attracting the attention of scalpers, whereas mini-PCs are in abundance.

Surprised Microsoft doesn't buy Valve, purely to kill their Linux initiative and take the wind out of it's sales. But Valve is private, and I think you can only buy them if they want to sell. Microsoft's strategy is to instead, acquire as much of the games industry as they can and monopolize as much of the content people want as possible.

The only "AI" I would trust, is something that runs offline, locally, and is open source.

I use Intel OpenImageDenoise all the time in Blender and it's awesome. It also meets all of the above criteria.

As for integrating AI into my OS that connects with the cloud, profiles me and helps me write better, analyzes my files etc, or reminds me what to do, not just "no", but "hell the fuck no". Surveillance capitalism is a cancer on computing, and I don't want it. Windows users will be getting this last example of AI whether they want it or not, but thankfully I use Linux.

You know what's funny? On one hand, they are obsessed with forcing the entire PC ecosystem fully into the cloud whether we users want this or not. And on the other hand, each new version of their software requires more and more hardware to even run. The point of relying on a central server somewhere, is that I should be able to get away with using a low-power potato client that can barely do anything more demanding than put information on my screen. Instead, you'll see full fat computers that will refuse to work if the Internet is down or the subscription has not been paid. I guess this is the quality of product that is shat out of the capitalist orifice.

Smart people know that this cloud obsession is not at all about saving the planet or making things cheaper for the user, but instead, grabbing users by the p**** and making us their b****. Considering what they will do with all the user's private information such as documents we work on, our private artistic creations, etc, the monthly fee to use the thing will be the least of our problems. :)

RE:Microsoft Edge. Remember boys and girls, when someone forces themself upon you against your will and doesn't take "no" for an answer, that is wrong. In fact in the real world we have specifically defined terms to describe this exact type of behavior.

It's too bad that so many websites are now explicitly working to make Firefox a second-class citizen online, probably for money. If you use Firefox you have to solve twice as many Captchas, and services like Nut-flix will refuse to serve you full quality video.

It's oh-so fun, hilarious and satisfying to watch this gradually get worse... from a safe distance. (A.k.a Linux)
