Oh they’re making me addicted alright. I can’t stop installing Linux on things. Its like a new vice for my devices
Today i tried to unbind the windows key from a computer because it was getting annoying. Tutorials pointed to the registry. I found nothing but ended up understanding why some keyboards directly have locks on that stupid key
In the times we live , where sociopath billionares seem to reign, this is no surprising
I can’t fault them for this business plan. It has worked for the opioid business professionals time and time again, for centuries!
Out of touch execs still chasing metrics instead of focusing on quality. Their desperation betrays the awareness that an end is near.
Sadly, the strategy tends to work. Just like slop and clickbait by any sane world should not be rewarded, it rakes it in for the people who do it.
Have they tried making it better, I feel like I’m more likely to become addicted to it if it was good.
We’re going to MAKE people ADDICTED by
making a REALLY Good Product!SOLVING annoying Problems!TREATING Customers respectfully!FORCING ourselves Onto people like Donald Trump on Little Girls!Scout will only be available for MS 365 customers.
Phew!
Ha ha ha, no Microslop !
Explains why they want you to think it’s also a person.
If it’s agentic it’s going to burn through tokens even faster, so what’s their business model?
That will really help all those lawsuits from people who got addicted to that thingy.
BREAKING - Companies want customers to get addicted to their products!!!1
When you ask an LLM to name itself, “Scout” is a very common name for it to come up with. That and “echo”.
I used the LLM to make the LLM
My non Linux savvy spouse is currently dual booting Linux Mint because Windows has become so frustrating to use.
Mint isn’t perfect. We’ve run into a few bugs and shortcomings. But there’s a big difference between dealing with genuine issues in an OS and using one that feels actively hostile and designed to exploit the user.
If both experiences can be frustrating, why choose the one that’s frustrating by design (unless you absolutely have to) ?
I’ve used Linux for a decade now and windows is so much more buggy and shortcoming. Including new bugs.
Most of my music software doesn’t function correctly on Linux :(
You probably know this already, but Reaper is fully Linux compatible, it’s not FL, so you’ll have to adapt, but it is great
I’ll have to adapt and buy $1,000 in third party VSTs to not have as good of a mixing/mastering solution as what’s built into FL :(
What software
FL studio along with a whole pile of third party VSTs, plus lots of weird audio routings and everything in 96kHz.
Bitwig is neat, but I’d have to buy like $1500 in third party VSTs to do what I do in FL.
Personally I’ve used FL with Bottles on Fedora with terra-wine-staging package and everything except webviews (FL cloud which I don’t use anyway) works perfecly (and cpu usage is higher than on windows)
I really wish they’d had the balls and/or the legal power to keep calling it FruityLoops.
I mean it’s massively outgrown the original looper app it used to be. It’s top tier for DAW choices now.
You should consider a VM
How much worse is the latency going to get
IDK
