    Statcounter says it gets its desktop operating system (OS) usage stats from tracking code installed on over 1.5 million global websites generating over 5 billion monthly page views.

  • This US-centric view that this worldwide outage is automatically due to US politics is just ridiculous, and you should be embarrassed.

    I should be embarrassed that another commenter thinks its related to the elections? Why? It wasn't my idea and my only mention of it was to say I think it unlikely. Go be churlish somewhere else. I'll longer see your replies.

  • You dont think who becomes POTUS will effect your country? You've blasted right past being a curmudgeon who doesn't like the US and moved into the territory of troll.

    IMO, it is a stretch to claim primary elections as the motive for this outage, but pretending you are entirely aloof and unaffected by US presidential elections is absurd. We get it, you hate the US.

  • You heard it here first.

    2024: Year of the Linux Desktop

  • Especially for the users.

  • The nerdy looking dude in the gif touched grass. "Wasted" is from a video game (GTA?) screen shown each time you died. So from this we can infer that our terminally-online protagonist, Hiroshi, did not survive the attempt to disconnect, even if only briefly.

  • I generate AI content (some of which is art) for fun, so I am not against it in theory. I just dont so far find much enjoyment consuming AI content made by others. So far the vast majority of it is mediocre. Which seems like a natural consequence of lowering the barriers to entry.

    The Sora demo, for example, is very compelling technologically, but it didn't impress me at all as something that would replace creative work, so much as provide a tool to get it done differently.

    As AI content becomes more prevalent, I will continue to further disengage with that content and prefer authentic human experiences, to the extent that AI content continues to feel mostly soulless and vacuous.

  • Eh, I'd say a better word is "progress." Or maybe "technological progress." Evolution is the change in gene frequency in a population over time.

    Agree, otherwise. Its like trying to tell people not to make things go boom using saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. Luddites will always want to burn down the textile mill.

  • Its not a bug, it's a feature.

  • I miss the golden age when we had AIM, ICQ, or GoogleTalk, etc all on the client of our choosing.

  • wow. That's a seriously shitty attitude, even if they did actually work for you, which ... they don't.

  • You just have no idea what they do, clearly. That doesn't mean they don't do anything.

  • Hangouts was the best thing going for a while there. Of course they had to goog it up.

  • This sub is "Today I Learned", not "Today You Learned." OP just learned about it and wanted to discuss with other people. Seems reasonable.

    And, indeed, though I knew most of this, I've still found some of the discussion interesting. What, then, is your problem? No one is forcing you to visit the thread at all.
