I had Windows 10 on an older (but not ancient) machine and it was literally unusable. 10-15 minute boot time and another 5 or so just to get a browser to open. The misery didn't end once things were open; everything was still slower than when I had windows 7 on what would now be considered a truly ancient machine. I put Linux on it and experienced a roughly 5x speedup.

Trying to get games to run without being a Linux pro is much harder than I was led to believe. Some games just work out of the box, but a lot of them absolutely do NOT, even if protondb says they will.
I think that any operating system that mostly runs 3rd party software should be legally required to open-source at least the components necessary to run said 3rd party software. Also, OSes should just straight up not be allowed to show ads, full-stop. Making people buy hardware and then bloating the OS with ads in updates is a bait and switch and if our government had any balls, would be illegal.
It would have made more sense if they had shown the distribution of hue as a polar graph and just had one every decade to show how it changes over time.
I wouldn't trust someone who tried to visualize hue like this to make that calculation correctly.
Value is essentially luminance.
The simple AFAIK version is much more common. I have never seen FAFAIK specifically.
Did you just refer to yourself in the third person again? Why?
Sentient and capable of suffering are two different things.
Technically true, but in the opposite way to what you're thinking. All those capable of suffering are by definition sentient, but sentience doesn't necessitate suffering.
Whether they can feel suffering like ants can is an unsolved scientific question
No it isn't, unless you subscribe to a worldview in which sentience could exist everywhere all at once instead of under special circumstances, which would demand you grant ethical consideration to every rock on the ground in case it's somehow sentient.

That's where AI search/chat is really headed. That's why so many companies with ad networks are investing in it. You can't block ads if they're baked into LLM responses.
Microsoft did ruin Windows with Windows 8, then they made it even worse with Windows 10 and now they're making it even fucking worse with 11. Windows 7 was the golden age of Windows.
