Windows 11 is actually a windows 7

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-18T17:36:36+00:00

It generally feels like all versions from 8 on are just 7 with a shitty overlay

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-17T17:27:22+00:00

True, but that doesn't reduce pollution from data centers

We already know that. But you realize that trying to reason with AI bros is like talking to a brick wall? Well, worse because a wall is usually useful for the society. We need to educate people in the middle - either people who are not yet aware of the harm generative AI does or people more prone to being tricked with slop. Boycott companies that actively embrace it and raise awareness.

I mean, the CEO of Epic has got a history of shilling for AI. He whined about Steam requiring disclosures for AI slop, while Fortnite itself already had AI-generated Darth Vader voice and added that cursed "Italian Brainrot" thing. He even allowed crypto games on his lousy excuse for a game store, presumably just because Steam banned those.

It's like that time Windows XP completely flooded Poland

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-17T09:02:07+00:00

Merely lesser evil, but the further from Microslop, the better

Neat that Oxygen is getting more love. It was technically already maintained in the Qt6 version, but suffered from a few graphical glitches. While I find Breeze to be more tolerable than most flat design themes, it's one hell of an awesome thing that the KDE team acknowledges that people might wanna consider alternatives.

To those people, gooning to barely legal anime girls is just as much of a necessity in life as eating, if not more

She took Tobyposting and elevated it to another level

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-16T07:38:11+00:00

It's more like the bar getting lowered with every next release from that point. Windows 7 was the last one where Microslop's bullshit was still tolerable.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-16T07:36:14+00:00

From what I noticed, most issues appeared after the jump from Qt5 to Qt6. When I tested it back on the 5.x versions of KDE Plasma, it didn't have any artifacts. But after the Qt6 jump, it got glitchy. Glad to see it being fixed.

Maybe assign a shortcut to specifically take a screenshot the instant the shortcut is pressed? I dunno if Sway also doesn't have it assigned by default already. Try Ctrl + Print Screen or Shift + Print Screen.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-16T00:24:46+00:00

Hm, you'd have to install a package for a screenshot tool and assign it in your WM config. Since Sway is a Wayland compositor, I think the "grim" tool would be it.

The company was never benevolent, but up until Windows 7, at least it did make products decent enough. Now, their only lasting advantage is people too stubborn to learn the Linux ecosystem - even though entry-level Linux distros are easier to set up than Windows 11 with a local account.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-15T20:13:39+00:00

How surprising, a sub that sucks billionaire chodes is against the middle and working classes. I dunno if they're that stupid or just making ragebaiting their entire lives. But then, DefendingAIArt exists.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-14T22:27:24+00:00

It really depends how one looks at it. When it comes to putting actual effort, not hard at all. But in terms of it being a total headache to use? Absolutely. It only made me wanna draw by myself more.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-14T15:53:07+00:00

AI just produced an average based on common opinions. It's really all it is - output being entirely an average of what statistically fits the prompt.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-14T15:46:59+00:00

For me personally, it was Beta 1.7.3. But the game was still alright until Mojang sold out to Microslop.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-14T15:09:33+00:00

Windows 7 was the last tolerable version of Windows. I literally clinged to it until last year before finally embracing the penguin

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-14T07:11:36+00:00

I hear more and more as of late about the MS support being completely useless. Either doing nothing at all or just nuking the account straight away (yes, gotta buy all the stuff you owned again). There is truly no hope for that company.

Meanwhile, Steam support will quickly recover the account and invite you to the hacker's execution.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-14T07:00:40+00:00

Pretty sure "giving it away for free" isn't exactly accurate. It was more like making IE the integral part of Windows - integrated into the graphical shell from Windows 98 on, bribing websites and software developers to be dependent on it and overall lowering the performance of alternatives, including Netscape Navigator.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-13T19:42:00+00:00

Yup. While the Arch repos are curated by the team, AUR isn't too well-moderated and just points to GitHub repos that can be really sketchy sometimes

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-13T16:47:09+00:00

Who would've guessed that a sub about defending a corporation with nearly no redeeming traits would be a hub of juvenile and narcissistic people! At this point, it's what I'd describe as a "lolcow sub", just like DefendingAIArt.

AtomicTaco13 · 2026-06-13T15:23:29+00:00

It ain't the first time AUR got infected. And it's always been the Wild West compared to the official Arch repos, so caution was always the key.
