  • I do kinda dig the Vision of Windows 8, y’know? Huge focus on Convergence, the unified design language of Metro, Windows Phone’s slick design…
    Problem is they didn’t stick the landing at all, threw everything good in the trash with 10, set the trash can on fire with 11.

    Call me crazy but I do think Metro was a much more cohesive design motif than the Fluent that Microsoft slapped on right at the end of 10 and still haven’t decided how to handle on 11.





  • Looking a bit further into it, a bug report on the GZDoom GitHub page titled “Project management” was opened that gave a little more detail noting issues with the lead of GZDoom pushing untested code, using an LLM to write code and hiding “not insignificant changes in commits, which has people worried that you’ll randomly rip out features that they rely on”. In reply, the project lead simply said “Feel free to fork the project under a” (yes, that really all they said).
    A later comment before the bug report was locked points out the specific change in GZDoom that was made with ChatGPT.

    Lately it feels like GenAI is gonna push FOSS projects and its maintainers to the breaking point. So much for this great future every AI vendor promised us 🙄









  • The last time I got a virus on Windows I was only made aware because the built-in firewall warned me a Powershell script was trying to phone home.
    Since then I run SimpleWall and I highly recommend everyone else do the same. It’s annoying at the beginning but annoyance turns into peace of mind when you know nothing, not even built-in Windows processes can phone home without you knowing.
