Windows 12 reportedly set for release this year as a subscription-based, AI-focused OS

[jonsnow@mastodon.online]

@NovemDecimal the leaks also claim it's modular but you can bet you won't be able to disable Copilot and many other things Microslop want you to use, buy etc.

@jonsnow CopilotslopOS by Microslop #copilotslopos #microslop

@jonsnow move to Linux now you still can.

Linux is already forbidden now in California

@barryallen2023 @jonsnow Maybe they meant the last usable Windows version (yes they did say that) ‍

[xazqe@infosec.exchange]

@aqunt @jonsnow an OS for wancers

[drewnaylor@mastodon.online]

@jonsnow Couldn't even run that slop if I wanted to since my computer had a major CPU and motherboard upgrade in 2021 and it doesn't have an NPU.

@jonsnow possibly a slop artcle. Check this: https://eldritch.cafe/@HauntedOwlbear/116170703606383164

Same here, and to disable all things Copilot.
Some HAVE TO use Windows. It's not like they have the choice if their work depends on it.

Depending on Ai,
expensive new hardware,
subscription-based OS (it will come for full OS, I don't doubt it),
depending on hardware that is hogged by developers so we pay through our noses:
This all creates an elite of those who can afford it, and an interesting alternative stream of pitchforks is in the making as well.

@jonsnow probably waiting till 2027 to see if California bans linux or not.

[lucasth@mastodon.social]

@melroy how do they plan to enforce that?

[rupertreynolds@hachyderm.io]

@jonsnow I remember when Windoze 10 was going to be the last version ever...

[hackbyte@joinfriendica.de]

@jonsnow @NovemDecimal At least, having some ai slop paywalled makes it clear that it's not a unavoidable default....

I'm still never going to touch that stuff again.

@jonsnow

I'm starting to think there's so hardcore FOSS nerd undercover at Microsoft, who's going to singlehandledly bring forth the Year of Linux on the Desktop.

@jonsnow @briankrebs Apple are going to sell so many MacBook Neos.

@reverendrobodummy this just popped up in my feed https://vimeo.com/1168468796

[stumpythemutt@social.linux.pizza]

@jonsnow Didn't California just pass a law to take effect in Jan 2027 that makes it mandatory gor the OS itself to verify the user's age? It really plays into this OS as a subscription game microslop is playing.

[stumpythemutt@social.linux.pizza]

@lucasth @melroy By preventing the sale of computers with pre-installed Linux.

@StumpyTheMutt @melroy

Let's hope no one follows them.... That's stupidity.
