"But don't worry. Our next update will include an agentic self-repair feature based on Copilot that will automatically take initiative to change your settings, delete unnecessary files and read your email. Nothing could possibly go wrong."
Incoherent anguished screaming
Remember when they announced native Android app support as a main selling feature for Win 11 and then quietly axed it later? The only thing actually drawing people to Win 11 is them pulling the plug on 10, and even that isn't working that well.
Maybe they should try making a good OS instead of all their other BS.
The acceleration of agentic coding and the plummet in software quality & reliability aren't two separate stories. They're the same story. Even if a particular bug/problem can't be traced back to a slop source, the proliferation of slop is itself a net drag on software teams and leads to overall deskilling and focus diversion.
We have a duty as industry professionals to fight back, say no, and make sure companies are aware this "new normal" is completely and utterly unacceptable.

Are there any Linux distros that are good with both touchscreen and fingerprint scanners? I have a laptop that needs a bigger hard drive, so might as well get a new OS, and its touchscreen with a fingerprint scanner. I use it to look stuff up when I’m using another computer, and to download stuff. That’s about it now that I have a “real gaming computer”.
I use Ubuntu on my other computers, and I like it well enough. I’ve tried mint cinnamon and did not particularly like it. I’m sure ubuntu would be fine to use again, but I’d like to try something else.
As always, no one read the very short article.
I wouldn't know. I use Bazzite
False alarm, they only admit current XAML problems.
Its OK, just have AI fix the problem by first looking online for an AI who had the same problem and figured out some slop that hgrsa kjfsb the whole thing by ooh up! Dhdgbjtcdr hgdrbbkk!
