As someone working in the Microsoft ecosystem at an MSP, we seriously wonder what the fuck goes on over there. We’re supposed to defend everything y’all do which is getting really hard to justify without sounding like idiots.

My grandfather in law kept getting scammed and installing viruses while on Windows. I installed Linux Mint on his desktop last year, setup automatic updates, created a non admin account for him, changed a few easy configurations to hide the technical stuff that appears when you turn the computer on, and he fucking loves it.

He brags to anyone who will give him the time of day how much he loves it.

This is incredible news if you are a mouse.

Let’s hope it translates to humans without also causing cancer or some other horrible condition as all of these miracle drugs seem to.

I think they’re gambling that either the legal precedent will end up in favor of generative AI being exempt from copyright, or that they can out spent anyone who would want to take them on.
