There is the old adage “Nobody got fired for going with Microsoft”, and it is real.

If you, as an IT guy recommend Linux, and some exec has a problem with his laptop (which they would have had no matter what OS is running on it) it WILL be your fault because you changed something.

The only good products Microsoft ever made were their BASIC interpreters for 8-bit computers. Everything since then has been about cornering the market and denying customer choice.

The entire image is AI.

I’ve seen this meme enough times I’m now curious how much milk (or whatever that is) the girl ended up drinking. Can anyone link it? Asking for a friend.

Linux is non-compliant with SCCM and group policy.

This Ai slop is oddly arousing.

can everyone please stop using this meme? For one is probably old enough to drink, but also... I wish I was over it by now... just stop torturing me... c'mon man...

If it craps out your install, you'll get to test your backup solution?

Making something good takes more money and yields less. Users, for the most part, are too entrenched in the ecosystem to ever leave, so Microsoft may as well squeeze the most out of them.

What movie is this from

You mean reinstalling from USB?

I don't really understand Linux, it's my second/"work" OS keeping an ancient thinkbook alive. If it breaks I'll find one without AI I guess, and keep going until I understand how to use Arch?

It was originally from some photographer's Instagram: https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/forced-to-drink-milk

I'm afraid it only ever existed as a still.

Well damn then.

Whatever it is it's probably h.264.

Mostly correct. IIRC, it was from some influencers' photoshoot, and originally it doesn't look anywhere near as spicy as the memes may imply. Someone did some research a while back, and it's pretty tame.

How is that "mostly correct"? Seems it's pretty correct

Likewise, I'm lucky enough that they didn't disable the mslop store => installed librewolf and put a huge amount of blocklists on there (including copilot, I know it's just the browser but fuck it.)

Everything else is frustrating.

Open outlook, it opens, closes, opens again for no apparent reason. If you rightclick a dialog open and you look around in it, you can't do two actions. Even though it's still there after the first.
The start menu is slow as shit and power hungry. And absurdly large (even if you "clean it up")

Wtf is this thing anyway? I'd rather even have Vista. There I said it.

Brother, I believe your spirit is stronger than you think. Control your flesh!

Unfortunate post underneath this one (as a KDE user):

I wish I could, but I don't have the admin rights necessary to activate it.

Fortunately we're a reasonably small firm, so I may be able to make an argument for it. And in the meantime, I have a dashboard server running Debian onto which I have also installed a bunch of useful tools that I can either get to with my browser, or SSH into.

Yep. Most of the past couple of months have been spent poking and prodding at the boundaries to see what I can get away with, and I can install a bunch of stuff via winget.

I've even taught myself how to jump to my server at home using SSH via my VPS so I can access stuff even without being allowed Tailscale.

In a way it's quite fun. A small way.

Bring out the GIMP.

Its not a porno, its just a photoshoot from motherland Russia.

Stay strong.

our IT guys don't know the first damn thing about Linux.

Well yeah, they went to Microslop school to get Microslop certs so they can work with other people's Microslop infrastructure and spit out words like "iNdUsTrY sTaNdArD" if you even hint at coloring outside the lines. Lol

There is the old adage “Nobody got fired for going with Microsoft”, and it is real.

Unless you're in game development, or any other industry they invade lol.

Never go with Microsoft to a secondary location. Never get in Microsoft's car. Don't even talk to Microsoft.

Huh. I was thinking r.34 🤔

You fuckin' with me, you fuckin′ with a G.I.M.P

9 year olds shouldn't be drinking.

Read the actual post. The stance is much the same as the kernel's: If your code is solid, it doesn't much matter how it came about.

The idea is that good code shouldn't be identifiable as LLM-generated. If it's within the general variance of human coding styles, abides by standards and the logic is sound and humanly understandable, it's practically impossible to prove that it's AI anyway.

If your code reeks of AI slop, it'll be rejected because nobody wants slop. You, not your tools, are responsible for the quality of your contribution.

That is very different from the "fuck quality, use LLM for the sake of using LLM" mentality Micro$lop are exhibiting.

Wait, you mean this isn't from actual porn?

sighs and zips up fucking unbelievable...

pmjv !

Bold of you to assume they have any certs.

Of the two of them, one used to work for IBM, but that was some years ago, so his up to date knowledge is barebones at best. His world is Windows. Give him XP or 7 and he'd be well away I imagine. The other lad is mostly about the infrastructure and networking, but again, has only ever used Windows. So that's their comfort zone. And then there's the boss's son who administrates things remotely, rarely answers any emails in a satisfactory way, and refuses to give admin access away, even to the other two.

To be fair, the computer policies here were non existent until a few months ago, when landing a huge contract meant having to actually comply with cybersecurity requirements. So until that point I used first my old Mac mini, because I was more at home with macOS than Windows, then a tiny Dell Optiplex that I put Kubuntu on. No one gave a shit and that suited me just fine. In fact, I was given to understand that I'd be left alone when all the new PCs with Win11 were rolled out, largely because, until that point, mine was the only one running actual up-to-date software, while everyone else was on Win10.

But here we now are. And so it goes.

The dairy industry clearly needs to explore more-edgy ad campaigns.

Yes and maybe we shouldn’t continue this verbal standardization of Adobe products. Make people realize there are valid alternatives so they stop giving this corporation a shitload of money

Linux picturing with an iPhone? lol

lol, my frontend (mlmym) interprets it as an html tag and decides to show nothing (only <!-- raw HTML omitted -->)

maybe flashes with an unknown custom ROM

I think I hauve covid

Guess you can change that now. You can remove Copilot from your normal Windows PC. Maybe not from a Copilot PC.

There is a saying in Russian that sounds something like "one little claw is stuck means the whole bird gets eaten". In other words, slop, not even once.
I have an old collegue that I meet about once a year. A year ago he was all about using it responsibly and stuff, this year we started arguing about merits of slop, and in the middle of conversation he opened a phone, asked a bot for more arguments, and read the response verbatim.

Hey! They spent almost 30 minutes in Krita merging the shirt into the leg.

Did you even look at that Wikipedia article you linked?

Humans are fallible. No matter how well you review the code. It would be good if AI code can be identified. The kind of mistakes might be very different from the kind of mistakes human do. So when something happened, it can be identified to be AI generated. That data can be used to get an idea of what kind of mistakes are being committed.

And now ID verification too
