  If you go to different car dealers you find different cars. If you go to different computer shops you find Windows computers, Macs and Chromebooks. Macs are very expensive and Chromebooks are very limited, so you buy a Windows machine. People don’t even know what Linux is, and you can’t really blame them. They just want a machine to do everyday stuff with, and not to have to invest too much time or money in finding one.

  Or you’re at work, or you need to collaborate with people who use Windows-only software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is working on an AI agent that takes over your browser⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The AI is supposed to automate everyday, web-based tasks by taking screenshots, interpreting the information, then clicking buttons or entering text.

  Like Microsoft’s Recall. What a funny coincidence that all these new AI tools need to keep taking screenshots of what you’re doing on your PC. Thank goodness Google and Microsoft have proven themselves to be utterly trustworthy.

  Soon, users will have to choose between accepting Chrome’s inferior ad-blocking technology or switching to a different browser.

  Doesn’t seem like a terribly difficult choice. Firefox it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More ads are coming to Amazon Prime Video⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s already an intolerable number of ads in some shows. And if you pause and go back a few seconds they show you all the unskippable ads again.

  I use it sometimes to ask whether there’s an API for whatever I need to do. But it lies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit communities will require permission while going private or switching to NSFW⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reddit comments are still useful in search results when you’re looking for advice on a specialized topic, though often comments have been deleted in protest.

  Don’t forget, Disney also gets to kill your spouse and you can’t complain.

  Makes me glad I turned it off because I didn’t trust myself to be able to firewall it properly.
