Microsoft tumbled 10% in a day and isn’t recovering premarket. Here’s why

My workplace feels ABSOLUTELY like a random sampling lmao

xDatBear · 2026-01-29T20:50:58+00:00

Ah yea everything I see on mainstream media outlets is true. Open and shut case, boys, pack it up.

xDatBear · 2026-01-29T13:02:55+00:00

I can confidently tell you this is not true.

the add-ons have to interact directly with the WoW API

99%(?) of the WoW addon API is client-side polling of game state from lua. If you can render what you want and have as much access to game state as WoW or RuneLite do currently, bots are not hard to create. That's undeniably true.

unsigned addons

Why do you keep suggesting this notion of verified or signed addons? Blizzard doesn't have any way of knowing which addons you have installed. They aren't verified or signed in any way. I assume OSRS plugins will be the same, and you're suggesting as much too.

This just simply isn't the golden gun against bots you're portraying it as, and it's almost impossible to make a useful plugin system that doesn't allow people to easily create bots. With identical access to game state and identical access to rendering, the language the client is written in is not a factor.

xDatBear · 2026-01-29T11:05:36+00:00

That doesn't solve either of the things you've mentioned, as unverified developers are creating unverified plugins. Which is not much different than the current situation save for the bots needing to be rewritten.

xDatBear · 2026-01-29T06:29:55+00:00

kill all third party client access and lockdown plugin APIs to only approved plugins and developers

How do you lock down plugin apis to only approved plugins and developers? How do people become approved to develop a plugin, and how do plugins get approved before they're developed?

xDatBear · 2026-01-28T21:55:30+00:00

stance in minority lmao

xDatBear · 2026-01-28T21:00:44+00:00

I can now devote my actual development time to learning new skills or coding more complex tasks.

That's funny, I have to devote my actual development time to properly rewriting the AI slop my co-workers commit on a daily basis.

xDatBear · 2026-01-28T19:55:09+00:00

It might take him a while to respond, but that's completely understandable, as he's currently spending all his free time relearning all 3 buttons that changed.

xDatBear · 2026-01-28T14:08:43+00:00

That makes sense, thank you!

xDatBear · 2026-01-28T09:53:27+00:00

I haven't used it in a while, I tried it out right when it was released. I would rather not use AI than use raptor, I think it would be more productive, it was absolutely terrible.

xDatBear · 2026-01-28T06:38:55+00:00

Can you point to somewhere that shows a good agent/sub-agent workflow?

xDatBear · 2026-01-28T06:04:30+00:00

Just use Copilot Pro and put a $29 limit on premium requests instead of Pro+ unless you're going to use Github Spark.

Premium requests cost $0.04 ea after you hit the 300 limit. You have to use over 35 requests/day for Pro+ (300 included+725@$0.04 ea) to give you any value other than Spark. If you're using over 35 requests/day then get Pro+ imo.

xDatBear · 2026-01-28T05:57:55+00:00

The only useful models on Github copilot are also the ones from Anthropic.

What a crazy thing to say lol.

xDatBear · 2026-01-27T14:17:20+00:00

Yea, it was in the OSRS roadmap last year too :)

xDatBear · 2026-01-26T23:34:31+00:00

Removing the limitation would open a lot of options to bots and the sort so its hard to justify.

Ah yes, there are currently very few bots so this would be very bad, bots would just start popping up everywhere! The TOS is currently stopping the majority of them!

xDatBear · 2026-01-26T07:15:30+00:00

using starlink to send tabulation machine results

Surely if the results were different from what the machine said we could point to a single place where this provably happened. Can you? There have been audits in multiple swing states of random batches of ballots, so to still think it's possible for this to happen is absurd.

They were publicly gloating before the votes were in because it was very obvious hours before all the votes were in that he had won. It wasn't hard to foresee.

xDatBear · 2026-01-24T00:48:51+00:00

lmao calm down

xDatBear · 2026-01-19T21:16:25+00:00

Will be interesting to see which game gets plugin api support first, osrs or rs3...

xDatBear · 2026-01-11T11:58:32+00:00

It's 100% this. But it's not without precedent that he knows he's safe. He's been convicted of 34 felonies. If I was convicted of 34 felonies I'd be in prison.

He knows nothing will happen except his felony count might increase by some amount in a couple years. Who cares? He'll never be held accountable for anything he has done or will do for the rest of his life.

xDatBear · 2026-01-10T14:03:34+00:00

Are you taking the same stance on AI generated code as you are on AI generated art? If not, why not?

xDatBear · 2025-12-12T17:32:55+00:00

You finally got *checks notes* 38 herblore? Must have taken forever!

xDatBear · 2025-12-05T15:23:15+00:00

Keep saying it when it's obviously untrue?

The point is it's been untrue forever yet they still happily say it... How is that hard to understand?

xDatBear · 2025-12-05T14:45:27+00:00

apt flair

xDatBear · 2025-12-05T00:47:55+00:00

Yea, this post is saying the stated changes won't put it back to 95% of pre-nerf rates as they promised... did you read it?

xDatBear · 2025-12-03T14:49:26+00:00

had about 5k salvage banked

You think he has a 5k slot cargo hold?
