Microsoft is famous for choosing terrible names but how could they be this terrible.

We need to manipulate the eye socket in a more biologically and socially acceptable plus human comfortable way.

All these face lids are just hobbyists I think the real deal comes later.

Normalizing this shit is more evil than anything too. Really classy overlords strikes again.

I'm so excited to interview for a career at Meta!

Also, why are the investors not suing the legs off of Zuck for the whole meta verse debacle? It is a scam and pure fraud. Also dumb name, sue for that too. Should have just renamed it meeme.

On a similar note I recently deleted a whole bunch of automated tests because if the AI is going to write most of the code then I should test it to make sure it's good! This won't work for all projects, but for my indie games it's a good idea.

New comment by starkeeper in "JSON formatter Chrome plugin now closed and injecting adware"

starkeeper — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 01:51:00 +0000

It is closed source because they think people want to buy this? Isn't this just built in to Firefox and Chrome now? I mean chrome already lets you preview API calls with pretty print.

I'm confused why this extension still exists I guess, and definitely too spooked out to even bother looking.

A hero post. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to shave using the edge of iPhone Air 20 or whatever they are coming up with. iPhone Stiletto.

So absolutely tasteless it should be banned. I think it's fine if people want to generate music at home like this but also, isn't it questionable what is even copyrightable? Apple makes you pay for this?

oh man, I just am so bummed that around 2007 I ditched my 20 year collection of CDs and went digital whaaaaa!

Why don't they have any decent external cameras absolutely goofy (or maybe they do and I am goofy?) also, framing!

New comment by starkeeper in "How many products does Microsoft have named 'Copilot'?"

starkeeper — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:11:20 +0000

How many windows services or low level system dlls has Microsoft lost the source code for and or does not even know what they actually do?

Copilot does not know either but I'm sure the answer is a much bigger number then anyone would be comfortable with.

It should be open source anyways. Maybe they will change gears.

This is off the hook negligence and abuse they are training ads in on purpose now and think it's cool. We are doomed until it is all open source and only open source.
