In one run (my Bhaal run) I killed her to get the robes from Wyll, then killed Wyll. I didn’t need the robes, they just look good.

Or the more likely, it’s a bunch of new students who’ve grown up watching everything in portrait mode and short bursts with Subway Runner or someone cutting soap for some reason on half the screen.

No, it’s a long-known fact that the Windows code has been shit for decades. That’s been known since at least XP days I think. Pretty sure I first heard about it on TechTV

Im on the WIndows 10 Extended support. I’m either going to risk staying on 10, or move to linux. The big problems for me are 1 ) Visual studio doesn’t run on linux so I’d either have to learn a new editor or do a VM… I suppose 2) Gaming. A lot can happen in 8 months for improvements. But this might be the thing that holds me on Windows for a while. Saw a video of native Dota2 on linux runs like shit. 3) A solid remote desktop replacement. One that’s as good or better than what I’m using.

Oh no doubt, same. There’s so much to be said. More than any one person should.

To add to this list

5. Remove WebView apps. Eat our own dogfood and use MAUI.
6. Go back to the classic Start Menu. Use API to make the whole UI available for customizations
7. Get rid of the whole shitty “Settings” menu and go back to the Control Panel.
8. Drop backwards compatibility for a bunch of crap. Stop pulling the 1980s forward, let that shit die.
9. Address real modern issues with compatibility and performance with current CPUs
10. Undo all the vibe coding.
11. Focus on stability and performance, not trying to be “An experience”. Windows runs apps, make it do that the best it can.
12. For the love of everything holy, take a risk and modernize the OS. This goes back to 8. But as someone who makes Windows Server golden images for multiple platforms, FUCKING CHRIST. Having to use the Autounattend to even get anything started, and that’s often (Even in Azure) just a minimal thing to get some client to do the real work, should tell you there’s a problem. The Autounattend is poorly documented. I learned more from just building a basic VM on different providers and seeing what they figured out. I could write a god damn novel on the shortcomings of the initial installation and customization of Windows, but it’s especially embarrassing for their Server platform
13. Stop dropping support for the crap that works. Just so you can sell an inferior subscription version. WSUS being sunset is stupid. Having on-prem WSUS is always going to be faster and easier. You should focus on making that better instead of letting it limp along and then “Oh, we have an overpriced and slower option!” Get bent.
14. Azure Local is a really fucking cool idea. That was an god awful pricing as far as I can tell. But neat.

Use your neighbors toilet! If it doesn’t have a camera or ass-print scanner, it’ll really through off the data brokers buying up all your shit data so they can sell ads!

That’s a really good point. We don’t have all their actions on camera. We can’t account for everyone.

Minnesota is on good terms with Canada. So… I mean, I feel perfectly safe.

Am I wrong, but don’t they have until Friday? So, we’ll find out next week?

They can’t fix it. Social media, isn’t what the brain wants. Social media isn’t actually being social. Most of it is talking to the void that doesn’t really respond. There’s no conversations, no friendships/community, no connections, or experiences. There is, however, ads, bots, misinformation, etc.

Like, I can read about a roller coaster. I can see photos of it. But that doesn’t replace riding it. Replace roller coaster with whatever.

The only way they could modify social media to be better for people is to shut it down. It’s like alcohol, realistically there’s no amount you should consume. And some people can’t self manage (alcoholics). That’s social media. But they want you addicted, they want you engaged all the time. Because money.

I’ve been on this rock for more than 30 years. I can assure you we’ve never had orange clouds. I will say sunrise and sunset do some wild things and you see some really cool colors.

Pff, be down wind after dinner and tell me no living creature was harmed 😁

But seriously, beans are great!

I get what you’re saying but today it was -20 F. Friday was a day where you had to be aware of frostbite.

As an American, watching the highest office in this country be turned into an absolute joke over the decades has been demoralizing, to say the least. There’s nothing to be proud of. I feel like, thanks to social media, we got to see the real people, and then it distilled people down to their worst parts. I despise seeing the leaders of the nation be so petty, so idiotic, so childish.

I mean, throw this on the pile of reasons the current administration isn’t worthy. The felonies, the child raping, the blatant attempts to start wars, the blatant disregard of the Constitution, and just misinformation galore. They edited a photo… how small of a person do you have to be to think “I’m part of the government, I have access to the White House official channel, I’m going to be very transparent about what I think of the current situation and use AI to mock and try to spread misinformation.” I hope people link back to these things (all of these things, not just this photo) every single time anyone in the current administration speaks. When ever any company supports them. When ever any person supports them. Like NEVER let it go. Just flood them every single time. They say Merry Christmas, bring up the Epstien files, the rape, the photo editing, the felonies, the… everything. Just non-fucking-stop.

It’s just so god damn fucking embarrassing to be an American right now. And I know by the end of the year, I’ll be wishing to get back to how it is now, I’ll look back fondly on how it was “only” so bad at the start of 2026.

Sorry for the rant, I’m just, so god damn tired of every single day Dimentia Don, doing yet again, another dumbass thing.

I looked at it and heard that song “He’s a hap-py, happy dog. He’s a happy, happy hap-py dog.”

I mean, none of them are. They’re all over invested in a “product” that was DoA. And in the last few years, they’ve invested trillions of dollars.

Well obviously!

One of them is a celebrated, accomplished developer. And the other is Zuckerberg.

Not to be that guy… but all cheese is chemical. You’re chemicals. EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS. Even Full Metal Alchemist got that.

I’m just so tired of misinformation, implying that one cheese that’s 100% milk is cheese, but another cheese made with that same cheese plus emulsifiers and preservatives is “THE CHEMICALS.” Call it processed, sure. But to imply you somehow have cheese that’s not chemicals… is just, fundamentally wrong.

So growing up I was taught ASL. And I can tell you, knowing how to count high on a single hand REALLY helped in my lower grades for math. I used to see kids put down their pencil to keep counting, and I’d be counting on my fingers with one hand. Very practical.

And when you get older, if you and your friends know ASL, you can sign across rooms (like noisy bars). Just throwing that out there.
