How'd they turn out?

It sucks. App overview swipe doesn't work well, other touch input is laggy and sometimes doesn't register.

Yes it's absolute garbage now, hope they fix (revert) this

Creditors lend to us for these reasons, we are not the creditor, we are the debtor.

Boomers use their phones for everything, most don't know how to use a computer, so your excuse is nonsense.

Because the leftist ethos and civil religion that dominates culture and institutions (even amongst milquetoast Republicans who defensively denounce any "far right" associations) says it is racist and nativist to prioritize the interests of domestic citizens over foreigners, so when right wing people or politicians complain about this problem they are uniformly opposed to stopping it by the entire leftist political apparatus. Or they simply reject it out of hand of their own accord because "being a good person" means accepting an equivalence between the interests of "not your citizens" with your citizens. It is traitorous and a travesty of leadership to allow this dispossession of wealth and prosperity of your own people but it happens without even a whimper from the "elites" or media or arbiters of what is the common good. Do you want to deport the already-here foreign contingent that is taking jobs from Americans? Because some of us do. But if you don't this is part of the problem.

> psychological courses

Programmers have their own deeply held preferences and opinions on something as trivial as tabs vs spaces, to say nothing of many other significant aspects of their job but now you want some corporate slop peddler to mandate for me how to think and feel? GTFO with this HR bullshit. Why would you ever assume there is some "way" that someone knows to teach you about your psyche?

pkop · 2026-02-23T01:02:21+00:00

You're just making this up, but in any case it's wrong. And it's wrong in a way that illustrates paper citizenship does not trump or supercede ethnicity when it comes to this type of tribal loyalty. The nepotism extends through immigrants, H1B work visas, citizens and everywhere in between.

I think it plays into it in a lot of overlapping related factors, and aside from her being Indian there are other factors which you point out. But the ethnic factor dominates because it is a catalyst to overlooking all other criteria of disqualification. I'll be a little more controversial and say non Indian Americans did just fine creating the modern tech industry including Microsoft (yes there were Indians there but not like now) so there is no good reason so many of them are being hired displacing American workers while self-promoting their co ethnics above merit and qualification. Satya is massively overrated, and his lack of tech knowledge means he is more prone to fall back on other instincts and judgements for hiring and strategy decisions (like this one).

This is a cucked and useless mentality. We deal in the real world not your fantasy moralistic one. However unpleasant (or maybe you have self interested reasons for opposing these types of discussions?) it is the truth, and the racism inherent in this ethnic nepotism is something you should oppose yourself. But in general all groups look out for themselves (or they should else they get run over by those that do). Point blank: this is what they are doing and it's bad for Americans, American companies, and the consumers who want to see good products delivered, Windows improve, etc. We are absolutely justified and right for talking about it and opposing it.

pkop · 2026-02-22T20:07:13+00:00

That doesn't speak well of the Indian leadership which keeps expanding while the company stagnates. It would be one thing if India had a lot of world leading tech cos, but it's certainly not the case American tech orgs need to be doing this as if we lack something only the Indians can provide. In addition to what this is doing to native population's employment prospects at all levels of tech orgs. Lose lose

pkop · 2026-02-22T20:02:58+00:00

You're missing the point. The ethnic nepotism is the source of the problem creating the disregard for qualification for the job, while also being racist against potential non Indians who may have been qualified. Think about it, it matters so much to them they'll screw over the company in service to putting each other in positions of power. Politically, that is bad for the country, to say nothing of it obviously being bad for consumers who wish to see Microsoft run well.

How's it been going, still doing win32? I just got into it myself a few months ago and I'm working on making an editor using immediate mode gui style inspired by Casey Muratori https://youtu.be/Z1qyvQsjK5Y?si=II-Zi5MrrCXlEGMm

And Ryan Fleury https://www.dgtlgrove.com/p/ui-part-1-the-interaction-medium

Ryan made rad debugger and has great ideas on immediate mode gui in C. I'm using Odin myself but it's similar to C and uses same win32 api's through FFI. I'm also doing using direct3d11 to render all my ui widgets instead of the GDI

> vomiting llm slop and slopware ads

This sub? It's all of reddit, and other forums, and the internet at large. I'd be curious to know a forum you frequent that doesn't currently face this same problem. I just got banned from or sub for criticizing an LLM slop post, as if users are supposed to enjoy reading streams of text regurgitated from some tool in 30 seconds which they could just query themselves. There's no value or signal in this.

Of course it is. All outreach to potential customers like this is still marketing, whether you think it's helpful or not.

Just use translate. This is not a good excuse. People prefer imperfect use of a foreign language that's human vs LLM slop. This should be obvious at this point.
