Unpopular opinion, but it’s also fine to hate having AI being added to a tried and true industry standard. FOSS is great, and I use many FOSS programs, but it’s often a decade behind in features, compatibility, & stability.
What people really want is to not have to change anything - neither about their lives, nor about themselves.
They want to live in a perpetual 2005 where Windows is forever usable and still just an operating system. Where they feel happy and comfortable in their environment and their skills and abilities.
And I get that, because I feel it too.
But sometimes you have to change yourself, in order to change your world.
I mean if you’re dead set on it you can get a lot of modern things running on windows xp, chromium browsers, dx10/11 games, discord, etc. it’s a nightmare and you’ll have a ton of headaches (especially with the dx10/11 stuff, apparently, I’ve never tried any of this) but it’s possible
I mean to be clear I don’t do it. The only computer I run xp on is an old tektronik mainframe that only has lan access and needs proprietary software to work that only runs on xp
I don’t really count that though since i literally only use it for the one app that allows the logic analyzer and oscilloscope cards to work
The way you wrote it, there is no formatting distinction between emphasis (nonbinary) and stage directions (laugh track). I suggest you use something else for one of these, preferably the latter:
u might even say its a nonbinary choice *laugh track*

AI has been around for years and we all utilize the results of that research.
Remember that at one time a compiler was seen as AI.
It’s the curse of AI: once a problem is solved, it’s no longer AI. It just becomes a tool, and we adjust what “intelligence” means to exclude the new abilities of computers and code.
Even LLMs have value, just not how they’re being used. If you carefully curate the training materials, you could have a useful tool.
I’d love to see an LLM trained exclusively on medical records of patients who were successfully diagnosed and treated. I wouldn’t want to give it a medical license, but it could be a useful tool in the hands of a competent physician. It might turn out to be useless, but we need to try it.
My dude, you can be mad at AI and use a FOSS alternative - best of both worlds

Yea, not everything is a binary choice.
I wanted to disagree with you. But I also wanted a sandwich.
Have you met end users before?
Too many times.

Anything to avoid using linux, eh?

There are also hacked/modified XP builds floating around based off the source code leaks that backport some of the modern Windows OS features.
Still not an “easy” experience though.
At that point just use Mint. Isn’t it designed to feel like Windows 7?
When it comes to computing, technically everything is a binary choice.
except for encryption
u might even say its a nonbinary choice laugh track
Please use different formatting for emphasis and non-speech. I recommend escaping the asterisks with backslashes for the latter.
whata wrong with asterisks? they made the text italic as i wanted it to be

Except for… context? I’m constantly annoyed by grammar/spelling online and even I say you’re going too far.

Or you can use AI and FOSS - optimization of both worlds!
I don’t want hallucinations and lies in my open source
AI is for lying to investors that your company is going to turn a profit in a few years. FOSS projects don’t need that.
Try to separate the AI hype from AI.

Stop referring to LLMs as AI for starters
LLMs are AI as much as the enemies in a game are AI. It’s not General AI though, which companies really seem to want people to believe it is.
Why? On what basis?
