@zacbowden We’ll see. A long time ago Microsoft stopped prioritizing user experience over the engineering build (I seriously doubt they even recognize th difference). I won’t hold my breath in anticipation of that changing any time soon.

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…

@SenFettermanPA Our system has been subverted by private political interests, which is why there are so few who cross party lines on any vote. You’re good people John.

This is incredibly generous. TSA agents across the country are relying on food pantries and community donations just to get by. I remain the lone Dem to vote with my Republican colleagues to fully fund DHS and get people paid. It should never come to this point.

@davidhine99 @DaveShapi Claude is just objectively better when it comes to tasks requiring heavy consideration and thought. Grok and ChatGPT are like the first page of google when it comes to depth of analysis.

@DaveShapi i think i noticed something changed when it moved from beta to full, it somehow managed to get worse. im a recent claude convert for IT work. omg.

I'm sorry to say that Grok 4.20 has become much more ChatGPT-like in the last week. It gets stuck on "well ackshually" kind of pedantry AND it stops thinking broadly or even searching broadly and just picks a hill to die on. It does the same kind of nonsense that ChatGPT used to (before I deleted my account) where it seems like it really just wants to one-up the user on completely asinine points while deliberately missing the point. This is a massive departure from how Grok 4.20 behaved on launch. I showed a conversation to Claude and even Claude was like "yeah, Grok sort of defeated its own argument but couldn't concede" Pathetic.

@DaveShapi Not my experience. What was the prompt you used?

@SenFettermanPA Stories like these make my blood boil. Apparently the “established global order” is fine with these events as long as their fuel is uninterrupted. Just as they always have been.

The Iranian regime executed a 19 year old for demanding democracy. I stand with his memory and the thousands of other young Iranians. Those who grieve the elimination of Iranian leaders over murdered protesters is telling.

@QXsToo @X I just want my “for you” selections to carry over on application startup.

As a user, it's simple. I open the @X app. Here's what I hope to see — and I suspect many of you do too: 1. Great, informative, useful, or entertaining content (by humans, machines, or companies) 2. Real, authentic — even “boring” — posts from the people and networks I actually care about 3. No spam, bad bots, or reply farming As an X employee who uses it every day, I believe we’re actively building toward exactly this. Does this match what you want when you open X?

@liveandletdev @elonmusk @BillyM2k So? This bill doesn’t cover state elections.

@elonmusk @BillyM2k people have done plenty of articles (dating back to 2016 i believe even) where they go over how illegals can vote in elections, even if just general elections and based on state this helps push up local candidates, empowering them to then help empower others doing the same thing.

i don’t understand why the left is against voter id while simultaneously saying how it won’t make a difference because people aren’t illegally voting so then pass the law? if the results are the same and it makes no difference, it takes away the talking point

Then that’s not the reality Elon. It’s complete guesswork at best. Here’s what will happen if this garbage legislation is passed. Voting numbers will drop because it makes it a complete pain in the ass for people. Then the government will be sued on constitutional grounds, in which case SCOTUS will overturn the bill because it impedes voting. This whole thing is a bullshit power play that provides little substance and costs people time and money to do something th fed already has a record of. It’s absolutely a stupid waste of time and effort on a piece of legislation that looks like it was written on a bar napkin.

@BillyM2k The reality is that there is massive cheating. But it is impossible to prove that without ID and in-person voting.

@AxieAur @stats_feed This is such sound advice. Really.

@stats_feed The one you marry is the one you fight with. Marry one youll never get tired of fighting with.

Married men, what’s the best advice you’d give young guys when choosing a life partner?

@DavidErnestkag @stats_feed Yeah, because they couldn’t escape.

@stats_feed Make sure to put the wife in her place when needed. There’s a reason old couples with “outdated” traditions have been married 50+ years.

@10DowningStreet Shockingly, words don’t matter to Iran. They never have and it’s utterly insane you all keep going back to the same playbook expecting a different outcome.

Together with our allies, we condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.

@SenBillCassidy Why would this bill restore trust in our elections? The political parties have utterly destroyed trust in our elections. No amount of ID changes are going to fix congressional ineptitude, Bill.

I presided over the Senate floor yesterday during debate on the SAVE America Act because I'm working to get this bill signed into law. We MUST restore trust in our elections.

@fedupMolly17 @timburchett The bible also said not to bear false witness. Tim is lying to you, but you also just believed him without question.

@timburchett This is so infuriating. I see many older Christians I know who have converted to “progressive” Christianity. They too have TDS. The Bible told us this was coming.

Only 12% of the legal population vote meanwhile 40% of evangelical Christians and 30% of gun owners don’t vote.

@Kiriel_Strazza @timburchett Because Tim is lying through his teeth, that’s why.

@timburchett As both a Christian and a gun owner, I'm embarrassed by those percentages! It's a basic responsibility! Why are more pasters not preaching on this!?!

@lanny_lutz @timburchett Unlikely. This assumes both groups support the GOP, which is not true. More conservative? Sure. But the GOP isn’t a conservative party.

@timburchett If all Christians and gun owners sart voting, the GOP would have a super majority in both the house and the senate.

@timburchett Tim, you’re lying. It’s not even a little lie either. As a Christian, how exactly do you believe it is okay to bear false witness to such an extreme?

@SenateGOP It certainly does not. It’s gabage legislation, plain and simple. Also, how in the hell does the Republican Party have a government X account? It’s not a government organization.

The Save America Act stops Democrats from turning America into a sanctuary country.

It’s not a warrantless search. Those who claim that’s the case are either woefully uninformed or have questionable motives. Requiring warrants for 702 does little more than prop the door open for state actors to do what they want, when they want it, sight unseen. So which one are you?

No FISA 702 reauthorization without a warrant requirement. No Iran war funding without a specific war declaration/authorization from Congress. These are constitutionally necessary, common sense conditions to protect the liberty and safety of Americans.

@elonmusk It seems that way. Subjective as that may be. Point of note: I’d love for X to remember my “For you” feed selection instead of me having to reset it every time I log in.

Algorithm is better today than 3 months ago?

@Alex_TheAnalyst @grok can you respond to this allegation so that it both validates and refutes his point? Extra biscuits if it’s low-key funny.

I'm going to call this right now. We are going to have a large population with absolutely no critical thinking skills if they blindly trust AI for everything. We have all already seen it. They don't validate outputs. They don't really understand anything. They just ask questions, it looks good, and they go with it. There are going to be huge issues in every company as this continues over the years. The amount of technical debt and knowledge gaps are going to be insane. So much opportunity if you actually know what you're doing.
