I fought with Broadcom's shitty website for hours, but finally have Workstation Pro, in which I will test my workflows in Linux.

Games and Lightroom will be a challenge, but I'm going to avoid Win11 at all costs.

How is this not fraud?

It's a simple question. They are deliberately misleading and lying to customers for unlawful corporate gain.

I think today might be the day. I'm tired of every piece of tech's infuriatingly enshittification of things. I wanted to google something normal only for the AI to spout nonhelpful, sponsored links. I'm sick of it ALL!!! I wanna burn silicon valley down and start fresh at this point

searxng is awesome. Meta search of as many or as few engines as you want with no bullshit.

Do it, fucking go crazy, let all your weird fucked up dark fantasies out, as both a very chaotic person but also a very thoughtful and caring person, fucking now is the time to do it.

Linux has gotten really good, drivers are good. You can do it and your headaches will be so much less in the end.

Come over to the bright side.

Let your dark fantasies about doing lots of dirty things through the command line or whatever come true. Install a bunch of open source software and don’t even tell your husband.

It is 2024 do whatever the fuck you want, corporations have completely folded their hands and completely quit even playing the game of providing you (not rich person) with functional visions of products or even functional products. Why? I don’t even know honestly, I mean I am definitely a nerd about open source software and a raging socialist but it is truly astonishing how quick enshittification is in this late stage of 2024, it is the continual experience of standing im front of a massive glacier and watching square kilometer chunks calving and collapsing for no apparent logical reason.
