America is a straight joke at this point. And not a funny one either. This is official video with #CallofDuty gameplay for their war video.

@rekdt My grandmother used to have a store that had headphones port for left/right channels. You would buy this type of adapted to use more modern headphones. Apparently I'm old now.

@Windows @GallagherPreach Please revert it. Remove the Copilot and other features. You added security risks to something that should be a basic text editor.

[Daniel B @danielburrowes]

@GallagherPreach @Windows Everyday. Little notes here and there. But hated they added Copilot and auto saving features

NEWS: Amazon’s internal AI coding assistant determined the engineers’ existing code was inadequate so it deleted it to start from scratch.

Parts of AWS were down for 13 hours as a result.

@RetroTechDreams As a 90s Windows user I always found it unhinged that Mac just let application windows be in contained like that

@dresdendoll They could have just done this without adding the "hot cross bun" part

@unixterminal How dare you be responsible about this!

@RinoTheBouncer Regional and rural internet via satellite means cloud streaming is not possible. Offline and local games is where its at.

Microsoft has set a goal to “eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030.”

What are they going to try to replace that C & C++ code with?

You guessed it. Rust.

And they’re going to use AI to do the “Rust re-write” at an insane speed.

“Our strategy is to combine AI *and* Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases. Our North Star is “1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code”.

You read that right.

One million lines of code, per engineer, per month.

Pure insanity. This kind of decision making is common among those with a deeply held, delusional faith in the Cult of Rust.

Take battle tested code, and re-write it (without a clear benefit to the end user) at a recklessly rapid rate. Then force others to adopt that rewritten code before it is ready or properly tested.

All while holding a delusional belief that your new Rust code is superior in all ways, and is inherently bug free thanks to the divine nature of Rust.

We learned this from a post by Galen Hunt, Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft Research.

@LundukeJournal @grok why is Rust preferred over C++?

[Daniel B @danielburrowes]

#auspol #BOMWebsite It all had to start somewhere.

@crippledresist @farhantawfeeq56 @_devJNS @BrendanEich Business like policy control. Application lock down and group policy/intune support. Brave doesn’t really have that.

Microsoft is adding MORE AI features to Notepad.exe. Which is also getting support for… tables?!

Notepad is supposed to be a lightning fast, simple text editor.

Now Notepad is a bloated, AI powered, word processor, with dependencies on Online accounts and services.

This is blasphemy.
