  • Exactly. It befell the same fate as the first Fullmetal Alchemist series, complete with an insane ending that was improvised and duct-taped to the end of an otherwise perfect series. At least they had enough wisdom to soft-reboot it, so they could finish the series the same way the manga did.

    Dragonball Z also gets an honorable mention here, where the animation team was constantly at risk of getting ahead of the manga, so they had to build in LOTS of filler episodes to buy time.

  • every bug in linux can be fixed with sudo rm -rf /*

    To be fair, that does remove the bugs from the system. It just so happens to also remove the system from the system.

  • Exactly.

    To put it another way, trusting AI this completely (even with so-called "agentic" solutions) is like blindly following life advice on Quora. You might get a few wins, but it's eventually going to screw everything up.

  • No added preservatives!

    Jump

  • I was gonna say. There's none added because that's what they are.

    "Oops, all preservatives."

  • What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?

  • This sentence has made me violently ill. Please take it back.

  • This has to be one of the worst ways to reinvent a filesystem that I've ever heard. At the very least, storing static data in an relational database at this scale should be a slappable offense.

  • Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

    Jump

  • I'll take it one step further and say that if you absolutely must use Office, O365 works in a browser on any operating system. You literally don't need Windows anymore for that.

  • Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

    Jump

  • My prediction is that they'll go full SaaS and make the non-pro version "free", with a whole raft of features "cloud only" behind a Azure/O365 subscription.

  • Federal workers refuse to profess ‘loyalty’ to Trump on job applications

    Jump

  • As someone who has worked in the Federal sphere before, this happens anyway; Ron Swansons are all over the place and have been for a long time. The idea that this would happen deliberately, en masse, is actually kind of awesome in a terrifying way.

  • Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"

    Jump

  • Dear Microsoft CEO and C-suite people.

    Push back on your investors now before it's too late. AI features are ruining your product and its image.

    A lot of companies are tied in up this AI bubble and Microsoft is not too big to fail in this regard. Your customer-base has gotten by just fine without AI and invasive screen-capture technology used to support it, for decades at this point. Most people see your product as an operating system: a product designed to support other products. They do not want more capabilities from it, and have come to rely on good support for hardware compatibility, stability updates, performance updates, and most importantly, security updates. It is the darling of OEM PC installs, and government and commercial enterprise continue to renew their site licenses because of it. These are the core features that will continue to bring value and keep people on your platform, not AI.

    If you firmly believe that agentic AI is the future, make it an optional installable product or a completely distinct operating system altogether. This is strategic since it has radically different marketing needs than Windows or Windows Professional, and supports a distinct subset of your overall install base. Foisting this feature set on your existing users is doing nothing more than artificially inflate adoption numbers, and you're risking the entire enterprise to think your investors don't already know this. It's not smart, it's not even brinksmanship or a bold technology decision. It's reckless.

  • What's the oldest website that's still alive that you've found?

  • Webtender - An On-Line Bartender.

    The Webtender web site including, but not limited to the collection of recipes, web links and drinking games, as well as graphics and layout, is Copyright © 1995-2025, The Webtender/Pål Løberg unless stated otherwise.

    https://www.webtender.com/info/c.html

    Not only is it 30 years old, but it has searching built-in since at least 1997, if not the whole time. This puts it in a very special class: first-generation server-side web applications. Looks like it's still rocking cgi-bin.

  • I mentioned this elsewhere, but even if we just remodel it later (for all it's gaudy "splendor"), the taxpayers are going to wind up paying for this boondongle twice. The fact that it's clearly a money-laundering-grift scheme is just salt in the wound at this point.

    Un-doing all of this is the right thing to do, but it'll be seen as divisive and will ultimately cost more, making it politically problematic for anyone in office that cares about all that. You'd need another authoritarian to pull this off, and I'm not sure we want that.

  • TIL people in Montana, Alaska and Wyoming have the highest suicide rate.

  • Yup. I'm guessing that seasonal affective disorder and social isolation are a very dangerous combo.

  • TIL that hobby dogging is now officially a thing

  • I mean, there's no actual dogs there, so nothing's stopping that from happening. They'll get there eventually, assuming this isn't the real point.

  • If Danny DeVito were to guest star as an alien in an episode of Star Trek, would you rather see him portray a Tellarite or a Ferengi?

    Jump

  • Both. In the same episode.
