Youre not the first comment that mentions this, and technically it’s right. But the fundamental problem for me is that the AI had a well defined problem - it had one correct answer. Increase text size. It failed, and chose a solution to a problem that 'people who usualy have it, want this solution".
It was just mediocre solution, that works for median of people.
It didn’t matter that you specified concrete problem you have - I want larger text. It just averaged it.
Thats the problem with AI. If you want mediocre solution to a very common problem, it works.
But thats the only way it works.

The article doesn’t really mention it and only focuses on it providing an incorrect value (150% when it’s already at 150%), but this bit that’s added as a reader context to the Tweet is even bigger blunder:
The user asked how to increase text size, but Copilot incorrectly advised changing the “Scale” option in Settings > System > Display. This enlarges text, but also resizes UI, apps, and other elements
To change only text size, go to Settings > Accessibility > Text size.

The article does not mention this, but it’s also not a correct solution at all for increasing text size (which was what the guy was asking it how to do). From the reader context of the tweet:

To change only text size, go to Settings > Accessibility > Text size.
- Comment on Google Trends comparison between Steam Deck and other PC handhelds 10 months ago:
Ooh, that’s actually a good idea, just installing it on a separate removable drive, copying it over and seeing what works. Thanks!

I mostly wonder whether I would be able to just copy and paste /home from Nobara to Bazzite, and apps like steam or lutris/wine games would keep working, or if it’s more complex than that.
- Comment on Google Trends comparison between Steam Deck and other PC handhelds 10 months ago:
I’m planning to do that, I’ve been running Nobara for the past year, but I don’t have /home on separate partition and Idon’t want to bother with moving data, so I’m postponing it. What are the advantages, are is there something I should watch out for before switching?

I bought a Legion Go last week, and so far I’m really happy with it. The first thing I did was delete Windows and install Bazzite, and from that moment everything was smooth. The larger size is nice, and so far I had no issues running games pretty comfortably.

the quality of search results tends to be degraded [without JavaScript].
Lol, how? That’s such bullshit.

I suppose that this isn’t something to worry about with GrapheneOS, right?
