"Bill Gates SHOCKED as Windows Users ABANDON Microsoft for Linux!"
Not gonna lie, it might be the greatest sentence I've seen as the title for a video in a long time!
What do y'all think?
Hey ML,
I think I would feel dirty (this is a problem across YouTube on the whole) clicking on such an obvious clickbait title. It's so obviously geared toward a certain type of person - we need to remember Bill Gates has nothing to do with Microsoft and hasn't in some time. And, would he really be shocked with Windows losing market share when they're working hard at enshittifying it?
Personally, I doubt it. If he were still chairman, maybe he'd be throwing a tantrum.
Did you learn anything interesting in that AI-ified video?
I don't know 'bout the rest of the world, but to me, the year of the Linux Desktop already happened, every year since like 2008! =)
I have never used Windows as my personal operating system - I have always wished there would have been more antitrust lawsuits going on with the crap that's been forced on PC users over the years. But here we are, most people on phones, almost no choices, all the commercial stuff rapidly enshittifying.
I do hope we get to a point here where nobody wants Windows at all any more. --- SBBSecho 3.34-Linux
