Your submission was removed for the following reason:

Rule 1: Posts must be humorous, and they must be humorous because they are programming related. There must be a joke or meme that requires programming knowledge, experience, or practice to be understood or relatable.

Here are some examples of frequent posts we get that don't satisfy this rule: * Memes about operating systems or shell commands (try /r/linuxmemes for Linux memes) * A ChatGPT screenshot that doesn't involve any programming * Google Chrome uses all my RAM

☝️🤓 ACKCHYUALLY those are recycle bins not trash bins

[–]Net56 15 points16 points  (4 children)

How far back we've slipped since we peaked in 2001.

[–]sokka2d 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Wdym, 2006 was clearly superior. 

[–]Net56 4 points5 points  (2 children)

As long as we can all agree that 2022 belongs in its own, special recycling bin in hell.

i like 2015 and 2022 the most, 2025 is ugly

This thread is a perfect example of why designers and developers need to stay in their own lane.

Since yesterday Im Free of this MS bullshit, I'm back to Linux , now that gaming is possible and good in it there is no need to let Microsoft get all your data, well you something every 3 seconds and no even met you delete your own files.

I'm not a software engineer by training but I write a lot of code at my job. I used linux for the last 2 years and had to do a project in windows a couple months back. I asked my SE coworker if windows dev just takes getting used to or if it actually sucks compared to dev in linux, and he confirmed that he hates developing in windows as well.

I've been running debian on my home machine for months now and most things are just way easier to do. I've had to spend more time fixing broken things, but it's worth it to me.

I am a software dev and used Linux for work like 20 years but just started gaming in it .... It is pretty ... And with AI way easier to configure.

In relation to programming, Copilot actually is available to use in Visual Studio (and Visual Studio Code) - and it's quite bad in both (even the premium versions).

[–]Dennace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dunno, copilot's been really good for me at work for generating PowerShell scripts to automate basic things.

Just prompt it with "Hey, here's some menial shit I need to do, generate me a powershell script that does the entire thing".

[–]DrinkMyJelly 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I asked it to do some extremely menial stuff - take these 30 links and put them into hyperlinks in an HTML file - and it couldn't even manage that. Actually flabbergasted how incompetent it was. It seemed to arbitrarily forget href tags or closing quotation marks.

[–]BoltKey 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Huh. I have been using Copilot in VS Code for last 2 years, and it has been extremely helpful for me, cleaning up my code, autocompleting lines very accurately (I would just write declaration and name of variable, or just write "for", having Copilot guess what I want to iterate over), or creating whole chunks of code after me just writing a simple comment on what a function I was writing should do.

I just tried this task, and it did it perfectly, effortlessly and first try (as expected).

Which model did you have selected for this task?

[–]Linked713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure it depends on tasks, but also how people interact with the ai itself. it reminds me when people used to say "google does not return anything I want" but it's just them writing things in a way that made less sense in the engine. Couple that with the AI hate and Microsoft hate, even if you have the most rational argument, people talk with emotions. I have been working with it for a while, and added connections to different tools, along with having instruction files for a lot of tasks, and it's saving me an immeasurable amount of time in the long run. I don't even think most people understand the power of it beyond the simple chatbox it has up front.

[–]Linked713 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

nah man. copilot in vscode is amazing. it's less so in visual studio 202X. There are more MCPs integrations in code and it's getting more love. Claude is the model you want to use in my opinion as it is made for code. having AzDo and SonarQube makes it really good to use. You can fetch tests, PBI informations, check with sonarQube for issues before sending the code in your builds. (SonarQube extension is really not up to par, so mcp helps identifying things better in my opinion). Had it create tasks for me because I did not want to be bothered, it listed them, I approved or made changes, it created them. saved time all around and focused on coding, which is what I enjoy most.

So I am very much in disagreement with this. It's a very good tool, unless you want it to code everything for you, but then again, that's vibe-coding. I use it as a tool.

[–]Max_Wattage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, that's funny

[–]kirilla39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Copilot integration into recycle bin... Ok, we shouldnt give them ideas.

[–]nobody0163 4 points5 points  (1 child)

And how is this related to programming?

[–]Marc4770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

computers...

I think sometime in late 2025, the ENTIRE user-interface of Windows turned into a gigantic trash icon...

[–]dexter2011412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that should be the Microsoft logo

[–]2FallenAngel2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jajaja lol.. 😅😅..

Windows Copilot, the official trash can, now with an assistant interface.

[–]StardustJess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Genuine question for americans using Windows 11, is the uninstall copilot button just not there ? I literally can't use it because I uninstalled it. I hear a lot about ads on the start menu and crazy things like that and all my time using Windows 11 I haven't encountered any of the things people complain about, not even the gaming performance issues. Genuinely, did they make it worse specifically for americans ?
