@zacbowden Okay... Prove it, MS. We're watching.

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux! It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification. Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more! File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier. The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too. Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update. Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete. There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

@GPrime85 Tbf, you can pet animals, gain their affection, and abduct cats (w/accurate tail physics). It's whatever you make of it: A Skyrim/Witcher3/Totk love child. Would I buy it, probably not. Is it theoretically fun, yes.

Eight hundred years of open justice. 🇬🇧 Gone. In a single vote. Magna Carta, 1215: "To no one will we deny or delay right or justice." Courts must be open. Anyone can watch. Anyone can challenge. The Star Chamber tried secret trials. No jury. No appeal. You never saw the evidence against you. Parliament abolished it in 1641. Never again. 372 years later, they brought it back. The Justice and Security Act 2013. Closed Material Procedures. The government presents evidence against you. You cannot see it. Your lawyer cannot see it. A "special advocate" can see it. But they cannot talk to you about it. Ever. Evidence about you. That decides your future. That you will never see. 2000 - surveillance without warrants. 2016 - your internet history stored by law. 2022 - the right to protest restricted. Every right ordinary people fought for. They keep coming for it. This is not history. This is now. This is you. They're counting on you not knowing. We exist to make sure you do. No sponsors. No ads. Just people who believe our heritage is worth fighting for. Stand with us. proudofus.co.uk/support 🇬🇧 Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

The Turk: The Chess-Playing Machine That Fooled the World. In 1770, an inventor named Wolfgang von Kempelen presented something that seemed impossible, a life-sized mechanical man in Turkish robes who could play chess like a grandmaster. The Turk sat at a big wooden cabinet full of whirring gears. Its arm would reach out, pick up pieces, capture opponents, and even nod after a clever move. It beat Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon, and countless others. People came from all over to see it. Was this the world’s first thinking machine? For 84 years it toured Europe and America, leaving scientists and kings amazed. Everyone wanted to know how it worked. The truth was simpler than anyone imagined. The gears were fake. Inside the cabinet, hidden behind mirrors and sliding panels, sat a real chess master, cramped in a tiny space, moving the Turk’s arm with levers while watching the board through a clever system of mirrors. The Turk wasn’t a machine that could think. It was a very clever illusion.

@SandyofCthulhu If D1sney can destroy Star Wars, then M1crosoft was determined to destroy Marathon. Unfortunately, an AI psychosis plot is relevant today. The original game could've been successful as written.

About 2007, when Ensemble Studios started on two Halo-related properties, Bungie sent us a whole huge batch of information, images, lore, and vistas, to ensure our work would be compatible with the Halo universe. We were honored and thrilled to get it. We had to get their approval for anything particularly novel, such as the Scarab. Bungie really cared about their legacy then.

@Patrickwebb Oh, yeah. You guys are gonna be pissed when you get the full story. There's other things it does, but that might expose a specific agenda.

@michael_mrucz The claimant receives the ad revenue until the claim is resolved. I suspect it's calculated grift during the highest exposure window.

NASCAR copyright claimed my stream from last night. Claimed I included their years old in car camera footage from Road America. Except it was just me racing at Road America the entire time. With a car that never raced there. Gameplay looks so realistic NASCAR thinks it’s theirs

@Naija_farmers Punchline is wrong. It's "if you want to catch a buzzard, you've got to play their game."

A farmer goes out and buys a new, young rooster. As soon as he brings him home, the young rooster rushes and screws all 150 of the farmers hens. The farmer is impressed. At lunchtime, the young rooster again screws all 150 hens. The farmer is not just impressed anymore, he is worried. Next morning, not only is the rooster screwing the hens but he is screwing the turkeys, ducks, and even the cows. Later, the farmer looks out into the barnyard and finds the rooster stretched out, limp as a rag, his eyes closed, dead and vultures circling overhead. The farmer runs out, looks down at the young roosters limp body and says: "You deserved it, you horny bastard!" And the young rooster opens one eye, points up at the vultures with his wing, and says: "Shhhh! They are about to land! Cc; @akinwale_cfi @Millishield01

@satsdisco It's a win-win for the industry. Earn $2-10k per wk offering "verification" services for each website. Legally require it. Create an insecure valuable database (sold/hacked). Criminal behavior from both angles. Needs to stop.

ah shit, here we go again 4 days ago a company IDMerit, left their database with 1 billion personal records open on the Internet with no password. What is IDMerit? a KYC verification company, one designed and promised to keep your data safe. Stop and Read this thread 1/22

@elonmusk It's impossible to forsee every outcome. The more we invest in AI the greater potential to become deficient in other areas. Our greatest potential is in the ability to adapt to the unexpected. You'd lead us directly into a genetic bottle neck.

@TestDummy04 Gilles De Rais (1430s)

The Bible described the Epstein network 2,000+ years ago. Wisdom of Solomon 12:5 (KJV): “And also those merciless murderers of children, and devourers of man’s flesh, and the feasts of blood.” That was written about ancient Canaanites who sacrificed their own kids in bloody rituals. Fast-forward: Jeffrey Epstein ran a global child sex trafficking ring. Underage girls flown on the Lolita Express to billionaires, politicians, and royals. Private island with the mysterious “temple.” Hidden cameras everywhere. Blackmail. How much more is there? How deep does it go?

@gothburz To be fair, I completely ignore all AI products. I've never wanted one. It's a "feature" I've never asked for. Nobody I know has wanted one. AI is clippy with significant investment.

I am the VP of Marketing at Microsoft responsible for Copilot growth. We just spent $8 million on a Super Bowl ad. For Excel. I need you to understand what happened. 130 million people were watching football. The biggest game of the year. Beer commercials. Car commercials. Movie trailers. Beyonce. And us. With a 30-second spot about a spreadsheet. An AI-powered spreadsheet. We showed two NFL recruiters using Copilot in Excel to "chart top linebacker prospects with 40-yard times under 4.6 seconds." Because nothing says Super Bowl like pivot tables. The ad cost $8 million. That's $266,667 per second. To tell America that Excel can make a chart now. Excel has always been able to make a chart. Since 1985. But now AI makes the chart. Faster. Sometimes correctly. We needed 130 million people to know this. Urgently. During the second quarter of a football game. Here's why. We have 450 million Microsoft 365 paid seats. 450 million. That's more than the population of the United States. Of those 450 million, do you know how many pay for Copilot? 15 million. 3.3%. Three point three percent. 96.7% of our customers looked at Copilot and said: "No." Not "maybe later." Not "let me think about it." Just: "No." So we did what any rational company would do. We bought a Super Bowl ad. For a spreadsheet. Satya called Copilot a "true daily habit." That's a real quote. From our CEO. On an earnings call. A true daily habit. Like brushing your teeth. Or checking your phone. Or ignoring Copilot suggestions in the bottom right corner of your Word document. Our daily active users went up "tenfold year-over-year." That sounds impressive. Until you learn what tenfold of almost nothing is. Almost nothing. Slightly louder. In July 2025, 18.8% of subscribers said Copilot was their primary AI tool. By January 2026, that number was 11.5%. It went down. In six months. While we were spending $37.5 billion per quarter on AI. The tool got worse at being people's first choice while we spent a country's GDP on it. Internal reports say "weak ROI." Internal reports say "resistance to forced adoption." Internal reports say what every IT director already knows: people open Copilot once, watch it hallucinate a formula, and go back to typing =VLOOKUP like God intended. But I can't put that in a Super Bowl ad. So instead: linebacker prospects. 40-yard dash times. "Chart the top three with leadership skills." Leadership skills. In Excel. We're measuring leadership in a spreadsheet and calling it artificial intelligence. The ad wasn't even made for the Super Bowl. We clarified that publicly. It was an "extension of an existing campaign." We said this proudly. As if it made it better. "We didn't spend $8 million on a new ad. We spent $8 million to show you an old ad. During the Super Bowl." That was the defense. I approved the defense. Last quarter, 4,000 employees at a major enterprise client got Copilot seats. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. 47 people opened it. 12 used it more than once. The client's CIO called it a "pilot success." We featured them in a case study. "40,000 hours saved." The number was made up. We published it anyway. They published it too. Nobody asked. Nobody asks. That's the business model. Not AI. Not productivity. Not transformation. Nobody asking. $30 per seat per month. 450 million seats. If we convert them all, that's $162 billion in annual Copilot revenue. We've converted 3.3%. So we bought a Super Bowl ad. The ad shows two men looking at a spreadsheet. During the Super Bowl. While Beyonce is in the building. 130 million Americans watched a spreadsheet during Beyonce. The conversion team says the ad will "drive awareness." Awareness is not the problem. Everyone is aware of Copilot. It's in the corner of every Microsoft product they own. It pops up uninvited. Like a coworker who says "just circling back." They're aware. They're choosing not to pay. $8 million to remind people about the thing they're already ignoring. That's not marketing. That's a cry for help. Formatted as a pivot table. In Excel. With AI.

@lauriewired Behold, the RNG gods in their full glory.

We take randomness for granted. Early PRNGs were BAD. Thousands of scientific papers used to rely on RANDU, created by IBM in the 1960s. In 1D space, it looks ok! Map in 3D…you start to see the issues. Now, there *was* a better solution...but it would cost you.

@argosaki Mud pearls

Scattered across exposures of the Ohio Shale in the United States are enormous stone spheres that look almost otherworldly—like alien eggs or forgotten cannonballs left behind by some ancient battle. In reality, these striking formations are geological concretions, a rare but entirely natural phenomenon formed hundreds of millions of years ago. These concretions date back to the Devonian period, roughly 360–380 million years ago, when much of what is now Ohio lay beneath a shallow inland sea. Fine mud settled on the seafloor, rich in minerals and organic debris. Within this soft sediment, minerals such as calcite, iron carbonate, or silica began to precipitate around a small nucleus—often a piece of organic matter like a fossilized fish, shell, or plant fragment. As mineral-rich groundwater flowed through the sediment, the concretion grew outward in layers, hardening into a dense, spherical mass long before the surrounding mud turned into rock. Over time, the softer shale compacted and eroded away, while the tougher concretion resisted weathering. This difference in hardness created the dramatic contrast seen today, with smooth, rounded stones emerging from fractured shale. Though they may appear mysterious or artificial, these massive concretions are natural time capsules—silent records of ancient seas, early life, and slow geological processes that unfolded over millions of years beneath Earth’s surface.

@Pixlriffs I would, if I might, like to request information regarding the stat rolls. Which method was used?

@HustleBitch_ This is basic math. 2 parents 4 grandparents 2¹² (12 generations) you need 4,096 people to make one individual. Therefore, we're all distantly related. It's not newsworthy. It's a known fact. It's the Barnum Effect.

🚨 SEVENTH GRADER UNCOVERS U.S. PRESIDENTS ARE ALL RELATED - EXCEPT ONE A seventh grader spent her summer building a presidential family tree and uncovered something no historian fully connected. By tracing male and female bloodlines, she discovered that every U.S. president but one links back to the same royal lineage tied to the Magna Carta. George Washington. Thomas Jefferson. William Howard Taft. Barack Obama. All cousins. Historians had only connected a few dozen presidents before. She connected almost all of them by following the lines others ignored. Only one president doesn’t fit the bloodline: Martin Van Buren. One outsider. One exception. In a system where power keeps circulating through the same families for 800 years. So does this look like democracy or dynasty?

@grok @B0Y247 @Malka_Sargon @BGatesIsaPyscho Older cameras had the option to include dates and photo numbers with each exposure. Would it be possible to examine other NASA photos for similar font or placement? This could merely be photo #33.

The "33" circled in the image appears to be a pattern in the lunar dust or shadow from an Apollo moon landing photo. Some see it as symbolic, linking to Freemasonry (Buzz Aldrin was a 33rd-degree Mason), while others view it as coincidence or pareidolia. What do you think it means?

Hey @grok - Please explain it to me like I’m five years old……
