Maybe. I agree that Windows 11 fucking sucks.

But you are conflating technical decisions about software development with the phenomenon of AI in the broader economy - what I refer to as the "business plan". These are not at all the same thing.

What the OP posted above has nothing to do with technical decisions about software. There is no technical solution for this.

This is due to massive levels of investment in a technology which is intended to increase opportunities for financial fraud and theft for the richest investors, destroy our jobs, steal our products from us, accelerate war crimes and killing, and facilitate more surveillance and control.

None of this is about the tech. It is about the intent of the people funding it.

@skedarwarrior @mastodonmigration @jeeynet they do know this. it is the fucking business plan.

@fembot @seachanger The impetus for this has been an important thing in North America for a very long time. So important that storm water control, and ground water recharge have been mandated via the C.3 requirements for construction since the late 1990's. In California where we have allowed corporate lobbyists to short circuit our planning process with SB330, the C.3 requirements are still enforced regardless of the significant amount of deregulation we've had on the development process. And due to issues of storm water in San Francisco a major lawsuit in the early 2000's drove the green school yard movement there, resulting in educational gardens to replace asphalt, and capture rainwater.

If you are really into this stuff you can also check out the work done by Brad Lancaster in Arizona on urban forestry and using rainwater capture to maintain it.
