Will they change their disclaimer now, from “can be wrong” to “is often wrong”? /s

DNS again?
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 1 day ago:
It probably won’t happen in one or two lifetimes,
I understood their comment as AI crash leading to Microsoft crash. A decade of degradation is a different argument - that I would agree with as more realistic.

Hey Copilot, what happened to Cortana?
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 4 days ago:
It won’t make a difference.
What other projects they abandoned do you see as so critical that it would break Microsoft?

“With Gaming Copilot (Beta)” you can let the AI play the games for you. /s 🤡

All with your permission and built upon the security of Windows 11.
So I can decline. Good.
You’re always in control of what Copilot Actions can do. Copilot Actions is turned off by default and you’re able to pause, take control or disable it at any time.

I could start a comment saying “As a woman” or “As a feminist” that would polarize readers before stating a point.
That’s one of prejudice though, not of communication form and written language. It’s polarizing for its content, not its form.
I did find it interesting, and an interesting thought, when I first looked up what this thing was about. I still find it hard to read every time I see it.
- Comment on Why are AI companies suddenly opening up coffee shops? 4 days ago:
We get so many free digital services from mega corps. If it weren’t for the physical costs involved, we’d already be getting physical goods like that.
Imagine a possible future of Meta, Google, and Microsoft shops. Selling under cost to bind customers.

Sounds like it wants you to ask about it and then wants to write fan fiction for you.
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 5 days ago:
If you don’t check their name - Darwin - on Wikipedia, where do you check it? A random AI? When you’re on Facebook, their AI? When you’re on Reddit, their AI? How trustworthy are they? What does that mean for general user behavior in the short and long term?
When you’re satisfied with a soccer match score from a headline, fair enough. Which headline do you refer to, though? Who provides it? Who ensures it is correct?
Wikipedia is an established and good source for many things.
The point is that people get their information elsewhere now. Where it may be incomplete, wrong, or maliciously misrepresenting or lying. Where discovering more related information is even further away. Instead of the next paragraph or a scroll or index nav list jump away, no hyperlink, no information.
Personally, I regularly explore and verify sources.
I doubt most visits to Wikipedia were as shallow as finding just one name or term.

For DHH context, I’ll link this open letter
An open letter to the Rails Core team and Ruby community
David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) has publicly published writings that make clear he holds racist and transphobic views, as well as a number of other traits undesirable in any figurehead and community leader.
We, the undersigned, call upon the Rails Core team and the wider Ruby community, to:
- cut ties with DHH and his work from this point forward
- hard fork Rails and associated projects to a new name and development free from his influence
- adopt a modern Code of Conduct with suitable community governance
It has three source links on ‘racist’, ‘transphobic’, and ‘undesirable’ if you want to form your own opinion.
Related to DHH, there’s also been controversies on Omarchy/Hyprland recently (post from 8 days ago). That source has a lot more information and historical/personal experience on DHH.
You might’ve noticed Framework, the laptop manufacturer, embroiled in a controversy as of now. The Discord server is on lockdown because the volunteer moderation team has gone on hiatus, and the Framework forum post about the controversy has been gaining unsightly amounts of steam from people disappointed at actions taken by Framework.
- Comment on Ruby Central tries to make peace after 'hostile takeover' 5 days ago:
if it stops you from sharing in the discourse you must not have had much to say in the first place
Their writing style being hard to read doesn’t say anything about what would or could be said in response. “blocks yourself from having real conversations” is a fair assessment. They’re not blocking themselves fully, but from conversations with those who can’t or are not willing to read the unnecessarily inaccessible comments. I’ve certainly stopped reading/skipped many of their comments many times. And that says nothing about what their comments say, my interpretation of them, or what I would have to say about their content.
They’re free to continue. But you can’t not expect criticism for it on a discussion platform, and it remains a fact that it’s a barrier to accessibility.
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 6 days ago:
The vision of an AI PC, where it may or may not launch the app you tell it to, where one plus one may or may not be two, where deleting a file may delete the file you see, or a random different one.
Sounds great! /s
Imagine the cost of cloud AI on PCs. That only works too some degree for cloud data and being even more wasteful for the rest.

Symbolism is a very important aspect of public protest and the consequential reporting on and influence of it.
- Comment on White House joins Bluesky and immediately trolls Trump opponents 6 days ago:
Is it a troll attempt though? Moreso than any activity they do? They’ve always been boasting about their supposed achievements. Posting a highlight reel when joining a platform alone doesn’t seem indicative. What else are they gonna do. Join with no introductory post? Join and be self-critical?
- Comment on White House joins Bluesky and immediately trolls Trump opponents 6 days ago:
Not every public opposition is about changing the message targets opinion. Calling those who are willing to invest in making opposition visible idiots…
If you ignore toxicity in communities it festers and poisons the communities.
- Comment on Tesla's Full Self-Driving software under investigation after railroad incidents 1 week ago:
Tesla should be fined and forced to change when saying or responding with “despite its name self driving is not self driving”. They continue to lie. With continued consequences. At the cost of others and the public.

Big fridge following me around sounds scary.
They’ll eventually stumble and flatten me.
Or are there fridges on wheels in that game? I haven’t played it.

- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 1 week ago:
The “Use the selected profile without asking at startup” checkbox in the dialog is not there on mac?
- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 2 weeks ago:
The screeshots shows functionality that the current profile/profile launch UI already has. Choose, create, ask on startup.
Right now it’s hidden behind a startup parameter. But honestly, I would prefer a UI between the current one and the new one. That screenshot looks like it would reduce usability through big spacing and suboptimal alignment. At least judging by my preferences.

I guess adding a picture is nice. But does it have to be that huge and prominent?
- Comment on kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel 2 weeks ago:
Did you come into a comment section and expected not to see any comments?
Do you take everything as it is, without criticizing anything?
Do that if you want. No need to be so dismissive without actually making your point. Which I assume is that clickbait is “normal”.
- Comment on The Discord Breach Might Be Worse Than We Thought, As The Hacker Is Said To Have Two Million Age Verification Photos 2 weeks ago:
That’s even worse, in my eyes. Maybe not in scale, but when appeal process is more vulnerable, that seems very questionable.
