No one trust Microsoft. Users are scared and don’t see value, nerds know Microsofts MO and know it will be spyware once the news day changes.

Being complicated will keep the Facebook moms, and my casually racist uncle away.

I rather it be late and good, than rushed and shitty.

If you have a good GPU, you should be able to run a model without issue. The big ones are technically usable with tweaking but so slow enough to be useless on normal hardware. A small model may be 4-8 gb, but a larger one could be 100+gb. You don’t need the training data(if its even public) to run them, only if your building or retraining the model. There’s a crap ton of different software to run AI on.

To get started assuming you got a beefy PC, you need a model and software to interact with it. I started with mistral7b and textGenWebUi and been trying out different software and models. Text gen has the basics to load and chat to a model and is a good starting point.

For Images, you can choose models at based on what the sample images look like, they tend to be specialized for certain styles or content. You can add LORAs to further change how the output looks(think specific characters or poses). It’s very much trial and error getting good images.

There’s more models and software out their than I can keep track of, so if something is crap you should be able to find an alternative. Youtube guides are you friend.

The FTC sent an angry letter, that will surely stop them.

At this point its more of a whitelist than a blacklist. It happens a lot and people just go on like they didn’t just get ripped off.

Is is a G903 you using? It’s a issue with cheap ass switches if that’s the case. I RMAed one and the replacement did it even faster than the first. Gave up on that one.

I’ve never seen things get better, only worse in a different direction.

My favorite is it’s $60 game with a promise to not be scum, then 6 months later add in the scummy shit and battle passes so you can’t refund it.

Same as reddit but more Linux stuff, as a lot of us switched over when they killed 3rd party apps. Each server has its own quirks, culture, and rules. The active filter usually keeps the “Front page” on a 2 day cycle unless there’s big news.

Did they fuck something up again to stir up the hive? Seems like another wave has been coming around the last few weeks.

Flesh is weak and biology sucks. I’m going to look like Atom Smasher.

I’m not old, I just don’t want dig though 20 minutes of “content” to watch a 3 second clip. It’s like SEO filler at this point. I’m here to doom scroll, not watch videos. A video feels like hitting a speed bump.

The people able to figure out Linux will move over, but I don’t think a typical Windows user that goes on Facebook and uses Excel is going to understand or care enough to leave. They are use to being abused.

I been quite cozy on Lemmy, it would really have to go down hill for me to find a replacement.

It works for a while but they will lose market share over time.

The average user thinks their having a spell cast on them if they hear Linux. People are too afraid to learn how to use Windows let alone switch.

They can half ass it, stuff it with ads, rake in the income and not lose enough users to worry. They have a monopoly and can just keep milking users.

It’s the straw that broke the camels back. They been fucking users over for years before they did the API change.

I don’t understand why Microsoft does not want to improve on this situation.

Windows is the side hustle, They sell server space now.

I wanted to dual boot Windows 10 for a few games after I switched off. I can’t get the damn drivers for my hard drives to work. I just gave up on Windows entirely.
