Somehow people still like to blame women and minorities though instead of the real problem.

To be honest the only time I've ever installed Linux was to install it on my old laptop out of sheer curiosity to see if it's actually lightweight and it is, I'm not sure if I'll ever install it on my actual PC because of my muscle memory of like close to 20 years of using Windows but I'll always cheer an underdog if it means Microsoft gets it's shit together on the software side and makes it way more stable. I'm just playing specific games with anticheats like CS2 and dabble with Video Ediitng.

The only thing Microsoft did with Windows is that my 8.1 key that I bought in 2013 works on Windows 11 other than that, it's greed.

Affinity Photo 3 is also free and it's kind of like Photoshop, I haven't tried it yet but I've heard good things

Honestly this is more complicated as I'm looking for something that just works, maybe I'll set it up later and yeah I've got an AMD GPU so upscaling is much much slower.

I mean tech innovation has been stale for a long time, even with hardware remember how the CPU market was before Ryzen? Completely dead, Intel was sitting on it's morals doing nothing because they were owning the market 10 to 1, but even now that I've got my i7-10700 I don't see any point in upgrading.

Software side? It's a mess companies will always be greedy, just today I wanted to upscale something with the cloud because my PC is great for 90% of the things I want to do, Upscaling is not one of those but guess what Topaz asks for credits in order to use their servers, yes CREDITS, so I said bye bye. I've also said bye bye to Adobe and moved on with Davinci Resolve.

Depends on what you classify as AI anymore

I work with Video Editing software and you could argue that a lot of features on softwares like Davinci, Capcut, Premiere all use different helpful tools that could or could not be AI, Artificial Intelligence existed long before companies slapped the term into every product. Nowadays even TVs have "AI" processors which is just a fancy way of saying just a CPU.

I do believe it still should be an Open source tool that we can use for good, for example helping fighting against cancer but knowing we live in such a planet it will be used for worse rather than good and it depends on who trains it and for what purpose because we train AI.

I do care about Art like Movies, Books and the Movie industry so far seems to be the only one who fights against AI being used as lazy work, there are possibly Video Games that use AI text to speech for NPCs or something but there are a lot of directors who speak passionatelly against it which is good to see.

At the end of the day it's a tool and it will depend on how we use it. We can use it to do good things, but also drive more people out of jobs and helping with endless wars, I have a feeling the latter will be true but we'll see.

It was okay overrall some games we will not see in like years from now like that Star Wars game (not the podracing one) but the last two big announcements were funny maybe because people were expecting HL3 somehow even though Valve are known to always do their own thing

"Unlike you woke snowflakes I use Times New Roman"

That's the ironic part isn't it, It's like a Nazi reports you for "inciting violence" and then Reddit says well technically you incited violence somehow, oh by the way this guy that reported you with malicious intent walks away free, which is probably what happened.

Unless a bot spotted a word or something, because I was literally banned by a bot.
