I mean, it's also word from a foreign language. It means blue shark in Swedish.

Microsoft has recently announced Windows Copilot, an AI-powered assistant for Windows 11. Windows Copilot sits at the side of Windows 11, and can summarize content you’re viewing in apps, rewrite it, or even explain it. Microsoft is currently testing this internally and promised to release it to testers in June before rolling it out more broadly to Windows 11 users.

Oh my God, they're bringing back clippy.

I'll admit this part did go a bit over my head.

It's referring to a strategy more commonly called 'triple e' or 'embrace, extend, extinguish' pioneered by Microsoft in the late 90's. The gist of it was that MS would adopt open standards and create proprietary extensions to the standard that were only usable on their platform. This would break the ability of users of non MS software to communicate with those in Microsoft's ecosystem and push users off those platforms.

Oh, yeah, I guess that seems kinda out of the blue with out context, sorry about that. One of the threads that inspired this post had some millenials complaining about genz, which struck me as ironic since millenials have historically been on the receiving end of intergenerational slap fighting.

On the Topic of Labels (self.lgbtq_plus)
submitted 2 years ago by DEADBEEF to c/lgbtq_plus
 

I think this recent video from Strange Aeons on the tumblr mogai community is relevant to a lot of the discussions on labels I've seen here recently. It's a 30 minute video, so I'll summarize the key takeaways:

  • Most of the 'genz and their infinite genders' discourse is referring to a group of teenagers on tumblr called the mogai community.
  • The mogai community liked to create lots of labels. Most of these labels would never see any use and they were never really meant to, because it was mostly a sort of linguistic game for bored teenagers.
  • Sometimes the mogai community were abrasive assholes because they were literal children.
  • The anti-sjw era of shitty internet discourse often centered around pretending that this community was more widespread and serious than it actually was.

It is silly to pretend that an entire generation is summed up by the internet posts of a small group of teenagers. Millenials, especially, should know better, because y'all got the same shit from boomers with the participation trophy stereotype.

Just treat people with basic human dignity and respect. Peace, y'all.

The bi-cycle is the (involuntary) switch between being attracted to fem people and masc people. Not all bi folks experience it, but it's fairly common. It's called the bi-cycle because it tends to be cyclical.

Good point. Testing would probably be a better choice; I'll edit the parent comment to reflect that

I think it largely depends on the distro. There are two nvidia drivers: the official one which generally works better and nouveau, which is open source.

The instructions from the Debian wiki seem to be pretty thorough. Barring any driver issues, it should just be editing one file to add non-foss repos and installing the drivers through the package manager.
