@forloopcodes I wonder if the devs there actually care about this or they just don’t have a choice

I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable
microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c++ works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry
they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu
the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004
copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools
windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf
the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux
over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates
nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics

For that matter, Microsoft Word 2002 used about 25MB of RAM. Now Word uses 10x that much memory to display the same 584kb document. What the heck is it doing to that text now that it wasn't doing before?

@sillydarket Obsidian is the perfect fit for Openclaw considering so much of it is .md files. I made a plugin that scans a repo for TODO comments and adds them to a note/kanban board - I like the idea of something like that to create a queue for OC

@chalupacaleb this is a tricky one. 5000 words free sounds like a server is getting pinged somewhere.

Introducing almondvoice.com: ultra-fast voice typing for Mac.
Not only is Almond 3x faster than the #1 cloud alternative, but it runs 100% locally on your Mac, making it infinitely more private.
This is because Almond is architecturally different.
Rather than sending your speech to a cloud LLM to "think" and return cleaned-up text (which is slow, unpredictable, and a privacy nightmare), Almond uses rule-based linguistic processing, enabling unparalleled speed and accuracy.
Almond adapts to your writing style, supports custom vocabulary, personal shortcuts, name tagging in Slack, and file tagging for developers.
Whether you've never tried voice typing or you're already using a cloud alternative, give Almond a try. You'll feel the difference immediately.
Try it free for Mac today: almondvoice.com

@corbin_braun Even if the walls aren’t collapsing it’s better to assume they are

@signulll They are then worst company on so many levels - they only exist bc they were early to the domain game and people don’t know how easy a transfer is

@MrPitbull07 Getting good grades in elementary school is pointless. Find the things in that pile that matter and skip the rest

“This is why public school is a JOKE.
And honestly… I’m concerned for the next generation of kids.
A couple weeks ago, we pulled our kids out of school to take them on vacation.
They’re in 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and kindergarten.
We let the teachers know ahead of time.
Asked for assignments so they wouldn’t fall behind.
Their response?
“Don’t worry about it… we’ll catch them up when they get back.”
No big deal, right?
Except the day we leave… the school district starts hounding us.
Threatening to report us to the county if the kids miss any more days.
Our kids rarely miss school.
Are we seriously not allowed to take them anywhere??
Fast forward: we get back, and my son comes home with a mountain of worksheets.
No explanation.
No instruction.
Just, “Here. Figure it out.”
So he spends hours working through it over the next week.
And I’m looking at this stuff thinking… what the hell is this??
Keep in mind, I’m college-educated and run multiple successful businesses.
And I can’t even make sense of it.
Questions like:
“Sam has 155 clams. Richard gives him 137 peaches. If the cows moo while facing north, how many snow cones does he have?”
What are they even learning in there?
Then — a week later — his teacher messages us:
“He got almost all the answers wrong. He’s now failing English.”
So we reach out. Ask if he can redo the assignments.
Not just for a better grade… but so he can actually learn the material.
Her response?
“No. He can’t redo it.”
We try to work with her. Offer to compromise.
Her answer?
“Maybe you shouldn’t go on vacation.”
I’m done, dude.
Our kids are in ELEMENTARY school.
And this is already the circus we’re dealing with.
I don’t want to homeschool. I never thought I’d even consider it.
But the way this system is run?
It’s starting to look like the better option.
So here’s my honest question:
What are we supposed to do?
Because if this is the best public education can offer…
No wonder kids are falling behind.” ~Mike Wingard

@ReedTimmerUSA Devastation aside, I’m loving the side plot of Europe vs US
English

The trusted Euro model is north of the GFS with the main access of heaviest snow with a more amplified trough and eventual more northern track of the surface low.
The Euro shows up to 2 feet of snowfall across northern Oklahoma, eastern Kansas into central/aouthern Missouri and the Ozark Plateau in northern Arkansas. With this solution, Tulsa, Kansas City and Louisville would get clobbered.
Vast model discrepancy still exists between the GFS and Euro models.
Stay tuned for updates!

@realestatedude0 Took me about 8 hours total, all online, for $140. Now I am entitled to $10k-20k bc I put in the MLS, where Zillow/Redfin sold it for me.
They won’t raise the bar - how else will the NAR fund their lobby, PAC or that $500m settlement
