Windows 11 has better window shadows than Windows 10. That is literally the only improvement I've found

It's incredibly selective about which topics it's good for. Want insight into advanced mathematics or new programming languages and people there have amazing insight. But they bring the same level of confidence to the discussion when talking about topics they've no idea about.

Garfield without Garfield was a brilliant idea. This is not only derivative, but also just not very entertaining

Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites (www.theverge.com)

In February, HouseFresh managing editor Gisele Navarro called out publishers like BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone as some of the culprits that publish content about air purifiers despite a lack of expertise — but Google rewards these sites with high rankings all the same. The result is a search results page filled with SEO-first...

Have a look at marginalia.nu - it's like a return to the old days

Such a shame - I've followed his work for years

So the rest of us can be wary of similar scams, does any one know what exploit this likely was? Would it be something like seeing a session ID in the website URL?

The other annoying thing they (esp. MS) do is pop up messages like "The whole process of saving files has changed while you were asleep [learn more][got it]" and here, when you need it, there's never an option for "remind me later". So you either have to stop what you're doing and go and read a massive blog entry that's not actually relevant to the task in hand or you need to dismiss the message and never be able to find it when it's actually relevant

Ironically this article reads like GPT output

But the government regulation will never come without a LOT of voters feeling very unhappy, so perhaps don't tell people they shouldn't feel unhappy about the situation?

Let's leave aside the fact that everything produced today by so-called AI is absolute dogshit. Let's pretend it produces things that it's asked to produce. Even in this version, where's the pleasure in watching a story you've just created with prompts? The point of story is to be taken on a ride by somebody else - ideally someone you trust to give you a satisfying ride and not waste your time.

I mean, just look at the way Microsoft are trying to ram "AI" into every interaction with every app right now. As the big players make it more and more non-optional, people are going to have to work really hard not to put anything into, say, Word that they don't want sent back for analysis

Why would billions of us stop our excess pollution when we can just kid ourselves a handful of billionaires are doing it all? /s

Nobody can audit the code for all their apps. Even within an ideal world where the code is all open, people don't have the skills or the time. Sensor permissions are supposed to be a system so that people can have a strong level of confidence in apps without needing those skills and time, and so not having the ability to control this sensor is a problem - but an OS problem
