It's funny that their blog uses good old WordPress and YouTube for videos.

Anyway, it seems creepy, I hope we can opt out. I fear that in the future most of the bullshit content from companies will be generated by AI. And then we'll need another AI to summarise it.

Installing Firefox has never been easier.

I'm not sure what you're envisioning, but I'm expecting that to be a full-blown argument with a chatbot aligned specifically to prevent you from not using Edge.

And equally as likely, a chat bot from Microsoft telling you not to use Microsoft products :))

"As we continue to take a responsible approach to generative AI, we’re adding new Content Credentials which uses cryptographic methods to add an invisible digital watermark to all AI-generated images in Bing – including time and date it was originally created. We will also bring support for Content Credentials to Paint and Microsoft Designer." This is really interesting to me. I've heard discussions about doing this,…

How robust is this watermark? I assume resizing and cropping won't remove it, but perhaps getting an AI to redraw it or shrinking and AI upscaling would.

It has been around for a while. https://www.openstego.com/

Classic steganography usually doesn't survive resizing, and is easily scrambled. It can't be just that, or it would be a very weak solution.

I wish installing Linux was easier. I can manage it, but I still have to sacrifice Discord* and VR, which I use a lot. *Discord kinda works, but the screen sharing has no audio. There’s a hacked flatpak to fix this, but I’ve yet to get the font rendering to look quite right with it.

Linux isn’t quite “there” yet but it gets closer and closer as time goes on. In the last year, Easy Anti-Cheat came to Linux and now we are able to play many multiplayer AAA titles. In my experience the games run as well as PC, though there were “classic Linux” hiccups depending on the distro I was using with Steam/Proton runtime.
