In the future, when Windows users say "advanced users can turn that crap off" they'll mean the power button, not the group policy editor.

Hello, this is the Linux comment

Our test version of the Clock app is missing the actual clock and everything else, like the Timer, Alarm, Stopwatch, and World clock

Author then goes on to praise the rounded edges omg can you believe it rounded edges on a clock!!!!!

Set alarm for 10am

OK setting alarm for 20am

Jesus Christ. First they fucked over notepad and introduced dozens of application breaking new bugs and broke decades of existing functionality, now they're thinking about breaking the damn clock ?

Wait, no, they've already broken the clock in windows 11 because it no longer shows seconds, and doesn't respond to clicks on non primary displays.

I guess they decided it wasn't broken enough.

I'm getting so sick of their shit, and my employer locks down my laptop so tightly that I can't run any 3rd party software too, so I can't even install my own clock application.

Nadella won't be satisfied until he maps everyone's enter key to fuckong copilot.

I think instead of the computer showing you the time, they should replace the clock program with a chat prompt so you can ask the computer to guess what the time is

Just so they can show that Copilot users keep rising

Instead of numbers it will show an AI-generated image of a text blur

Oh look it’s another stupid fucking idea from Microslop

What was that about Windows K2 again? Ah, who cares

Motherf-

🤦🏻‍♀️

I started writing a clock app of my own because the Windows 11 clock app didn't have a proper analog mode and it's pretty useless. (Windows 3 clock app had analog mode, why not Windows 11?)

Some time ago I was ranting that instead of adding an analog mode, Microsoft will probably just pointlessly add Copilot to the clock app.

...Don't blame me! I was just pointing out the obvious direction Microsoft is going for, whether we like it or not!

Aaaaanyway. This summer's project is to figure out how the hell the Godot layout system works so I can make the layout responsive and I can release 1.1.

Can't they just make tabbed file explorer work properly instead?

Slopodoro? Pomoslop?

sry

Microsoft: “We want to fix Windows and make it great again!”

The fix:

What follows is our plan to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality this year, with a focus on performance, reliability and well-crafted experiences.

It takes Windows 11 a minute to load the "control panel" window... just hangs.

Re-release XP and be done with it, you're bad and you should feel bad.

I'm still mad Microsoft hasn't integrated Copilot into the calculator app yet. How can you possibly do calculations without AI confidently telling you wrong results?? /s

User: "How late is it?"
Clock: "It's high time for MOAR SLOP!" *devolves into slop clock*

Everyone keep helping more people switch to Linux and help them be part of in-person/online groups. To discuss Linux, and get help where needed.

I wish horrible things on everyone who works at Microsoft.

This is a fcking joke! I'm so sick of Microslop integrating AI into fcking everything. I just want to use my PC without any of this bloat. It just gets worse and worse. I can't believe they would do somethi..... wait a minute... I'm using linux. Nevermind then.

Still can't believe the closest Microsoft came to AI integration was clippy.

That website is an abomination. Try rejecting all the cookie permissions; it’s like they build in click delays.

I thought microsoft wanted to put less ai in their shit? Who would have thaught.

A system prompt hints at local AI-powered productivity features, specifically optimized for students. For example, the Clock app’s Focus session will act as a ‘Productivity’ assistant that breaks down tasks into clear, actionable steps, and it works by inferring the task category, then referencing the coursework of the student.

It would be great if there were a way to use AI to help people learn more effectively. But this feels like a way to train young people to become dependent on AI assistance for tasks/skills we humans used to be able to do well enough without AI. An addiction, rather than an assistant.

this is a joke… right?

...the new Clock app will also have some AI features powered by the NPU in the newer Windows PCs...

So you need Neural Processing Unit (NPU) to get this. So if you don't have one. You can't use the new clock app. So what's the problem?
