unsure if I should be celebrating the death of EA or if I should be worried that they’ll somehow manage to make the average consumer uncritically buy and play whatever slop they end up making in the coming years

I'm also ok with taking exclusive cosplay nudes for you if you buy me some cosplay ><

@tempest omg this is especially frightening because this is all possible with current technology and could easily happen with a misaligned AI

but yeah there’s a whole genre of videos that follows this kind of format - a lot of them are formatted like a series of EAS messages

go inside your homes. there is alien zombies out there. do not answer the door. the alien zombies can imitate voices and they’re smart manipulative bastards

do not look at the alien zombies or they will transfer a copy of their consciousness into your mind it’s super fucked you will wish they just killed you. actually just board up all the windows or like huddle in the basement just be out of line of sight of the zombies

we’re pretty sure the alien zombies are the spawn of zorkathoth. we’ve got a team working on it give us like 48 hours

a lot of you will definitely die. shelter in place good luck

GO INSIDE YOUR HOMES. THERE IS ALIEN ZOMBIES OUT THERE. DO NOT ANSWER THE DOOR. THE ALIEN ZOMBIES CAN IMITATE VOICES AND THEY’RE SMART MANIPULATIVE BASTARDS

DO NOT LOOK AT THE ALIEN ZOMBIES OR THEY WILL TRANSFER A COPY OF THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS INTO YOUR MIND IT’S SUPER FUCKED YOU WILL WISH THEY JUST KILLED YOU. ACTUALLY JUST BOARD UP ALL THE WINDOWS OR LIKE HUDDLE IN THE BASEMENT JUST BE OUT OF LINE OF SIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES

WE’RE PRETTY SURE THE ALIEN ZOMBIES ARE THE SPAWN OF ZORKATHOTH. WE’VE GOT A TEAM WORKING ON IT GIVE US LIKE 48 HOURS

A LOT OF YOU WILL DEFINITELY DIE. SHELTER IN PLACE GOOD LUCK

@emberquill oh, thank you! to be honest I am very intimidated by immutable distros after having some very frustrating experiences with Docker and Snaps (although, I’m able to use the latest version of Neovim on my Ubuntu WSL because of an appimage! so that’s pretty nice)

and also because I guess I feel like the immutability will be an extra layer of complexity that I’ll need to understand

but I also really like the concept of an immutable distro because, like you said, if I break something while trying to fix something else I can (I assume) hit undo in some way and revert that change which sounds perfect for me, because often when I’m working with Linux I am just Very Done with dealing with whatever is broken and I’m doing the command-line equivalent of pressing random buttons lol

I love living in a country that does not guarantee that my basic survival needs will be met unless I have a decent job, but that also does not guarantee access to a decent job. this is a fair and compassionate system I hope it’s around for a very long time

“but kas”, says the capitalist, “you are skilled but uncharismatic to white cishet men and therefore deserve to wither and starve in a dark corner where I can’t see you”

and to that I say, “I will enjoy your public execution in the years to come”

unpopular opinion but I should be paid to perform labor for monetary currency wages into my bank account

@emberquill that is fair! I feel like I must have good luck with Windows, or maybe bad luck with Linux, or probably both. because I’ve had many very bad experiences trying to get Linux to work and to keep it working. but I’ve been using Windows 11 for about 3 months and my only problems so far have been:

• I needed to run O&O ShutUp 10 at the beginning to disable any spyware/adware (it sucks that this is necessary but at least it’s easy to do once you know the name of the tool)
• the built-in night light is borked so I can’t use it, so I installed f.lux instead

I’ve heard about updates resetting settings but thankfully I haven’t experienced that in any version of WIndows as far as I can remember. in older versions of Windows like 7 and 8 the forced restarting could be annoying at best, but on Windows 10 and 11 I haven’t had any problems with this thankfully (though it’s still anti-consumer of them to force updates at all). I feel like my ideal operating system would be something that is as easy/simple for me to use as Windows, but that’s FOSS like Linux so it doesn’t have a bunch of adware and spyware in it. I hate having to use commercial software that’s packed full of adware and spyware to be honest, but at least there’s a tool that lets me disable it all I guess - and once it’s disabled it’s definitely the best OS for my needs
