It’s insufficiently iPhone-like.

I’m glad my ad blocker works well enough to trigger this, performing its intended operation. When ads are the intended operation of that site, it needs to be blocked.

Generated subtitles for video does sound useful. Sometimes actors mumble so horribly, I don’t understand a word they’re saying.

If the color scheme weren’t so atrocious, it would almost be possible to read what it says.

“Was” is the operative word here. Us humans have no chance in hell against the deluge of generated slop.

Microslop Copilot for Voice! After they renamed Office, they surely will rename this one, too.

Of course, did you think fleeing from Microslop to Google would spare you the ads?

It’s almost as though some people fall over themselves trying to achieve maximum possible speed without giving any thought to where they want to be heading.

New comment by tempodox in "SDL Now Supports DOS"

tempodox — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 15:30:21 +0000

If you have to do Microslop, then DOS is a sane option. Windows 11 is just too bloated and too slow in addition to being malware.
