Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can actually look at your screen and is context aware is going to become an important modality for us going forward.”

Since I don’t feel the need for ambience nor multi-modal experiences in my OS, considering the implementation of that “modality” I’m afraid that even as a long-time Windows user I’m going to have to switch to another OS that closer aligns to my needs.

Dear Microsoft.

Your operating system only exists because I have a need to click and type into business things in a quiet office.

Please stop fucking this up.

Yeah, that sounds exactly like what everybody were looking for in an OS. /s

I’ve been very happy to be using Linux for the past decade and a half, but never more so than now.

I love Windows 11 (the non-copilot+ version) and am positive on AI, but if they pull through with this vision, I WILL switch to Linux once Win11 support ends.

So: an even more disempowering user experience.

Sounds like shit to me.

no one wants to sit in their office talking to their computer verbally, its fucking awkward. Its cool on star trek as a means of exposition and plot, but not in real life.

Start fixing the actual architecture issue of Windows. An immutable base system and modular containerised app workflow might be a start, but we already have that in every other operating system

More gluant, juxtaposing and hereditary.

I too can just string adjectives together.

bill look what they did to your baby

Microsoft: the biggest promoter for using Linux. “Our goal is to make Windows and it’s apps so extremily repulsive even your grandma wants Linux instead. Because we care.”

Maybe someone should inform mr. lead over there that ambient and pervasive do not go together all that great. But then again, windows 11 ‘s components do not seem to play along too well, so they might not be sure what congruence actually is about.

Thanks, I hate it!

The only word I understand in that sentence, in this context, is “pervasive.” And given how Windows has really heen driving users away from Windows recently, I am doubtful that it will be more pervasive than previous Windows.

Yup. Off to Linux I go.

Weird, my desktop interface isn’t any of those things. Huh.

I’m sureAI will hit Linux one day . A lot of the toolset for building LLM’s works out of the box. I’ve used Linux for years.

I suspect if AI gets to distros your have 3 sorts of people :

1. Privacy aware and dislike the idea entirely

2. Those that embrace it but only with open weight open source models.

3. Those that use any AI models as long as it’s not too invasive .

I’m probably a solid 1.5
