A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's a useful feature but it doesn't need space on my taskbar or a special button on my keyboard. That's just marketing BS. The same as with the huge search bar, because I can just press the start button and start typing and it does the same.
Unfortunately Microsoft is incredibly bad at marketing. They generally succeed only at pissing users off. Now they're doing the same again with copilot and dumping a ton of totally different products under the same name.

I'm having a bad day.
Can someone reassure me that idiots using copilot aren't suddenly going to become more effective and productive than me?
Maybe, but you'll get the last laugh when they rely on it for everything and it is eventually whisked away behind an enormous monthly fee.

They won't. Maybe they get rudimentary tasks done faster but their lack of understanding of what they are doing is gonna cause problems in anything else.

Wait, there’s a whole website dedicated to copilot? #ffs
I wouldn't be shocked if the articles itself are written using an AI tool. :D

Lol at using windows ngl
I wanted to swap to Pop!OS a few months ago, but since i'm an Nvidia user, I am waiting until Wayland plays nice with Nvidias drivers regarding explicit sync and everything gets rolled into Pop!OS.
I always was a Windows user because games, but with ProtonGE the "games" argument started falling flat, and MS is getting more and more intrusive. I do like VRR and Multimonitor setups tho, so X seemed like a poor choice, and Wayland/Nvidia is just not ready yet.
For everyone in the same boat, just keep an eye on this link: Explicit GPU Synchronization for DRI3, Present, and Xwayland
God I want to move to Linux, but I had some problems with games unfortunately. They would run fine, but had stutters. And some of them didn't run, granted it was from an "unlicenced" source.
Still I'm gonna try again, I have to succeed eventually.

A blog of another website's report on what reddit users wrote.
Nice.
Windows power users? My ass. Any Windows power user knows you can just turn this shit off with group policy. I think what you mean is 'we need something polarizing to write about hurrr'. That website is a joke.
Take your shitty garbage journalism back to buzzfeed you fucking hacks.

My problem with it is it's an advertisement for a SASS service.
