If someone puts me on with a voice AI i'm never talking to them again lol.

I put spam robocallers / scammers on the phone with voice AI all the time, after navigating their IVR and intentionally requesting to speak to a human scam-agent. This in no way deters them calling.

The fact that you answered and engaged means you’re more likely to get called again.

I think you're right about that.

...which might be exactly what they wanted in the first place.

I use Linux computers in this way all the time. If you have a computer with a wifi chip, congrats, you have a reverse wifi router.


This might be the new Compiz, my friends love seeing this effect on KDE.


I've seen AI forget or ignore their own rules so not sure that really counts.


Well sure. But I've also seen juniors and even seniors do the same.


If you keep scrolling down there is some kind of contest, I was confused at first as well. It seems to be parodying scam sites.


I'm in the same boat, this is a whole thing right now. There is some kinda class action in Europe which will hopefully make them pay up or deliver something useful. I think a Refund plus interest plus a hefty fine for lying would be a good start.


I had a day 1 crashloop with KWin on the 2nd desktop, but on day 2 some package update fixed it. Honestly it isn't the first time Fedora upgrades have messed something up for me either but I do think it's more stable than the average Ubuntu release, not that I've upgraded ubuntu in like 5 yrs.


I respectfully decline, I had macbook Pro m1 or 2 and the screen went black after 1 year and was quoted 1k to fix it. I spent that 1k on a linux laptop instead and that's been going strong for 3 years.


It isn't even centered on my monitor, looks like an intern wrote it.


I can sort of visualize an aero improvement. If wind hits you flat on it goes all around and right against you, and it can bump into itself and then back on you since it's almost directionless. However if you have 'needles' coming out it gives the wind a 'direction' other than straight at you, lessening the pressure against your front.
