The last time I touched a windows device was to make windows 11 look like windows 10, so the task bar could be moved to the top. edit: typo

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Actually more recently I was setting up an older, but still great, canon printer, with a new windows 11 machine. I had to install a driver for windows 7/8/8.1/10 because there is no working windows 11 driver and the 7/8/8.1/10 driver still works. XD
A few weeks ago, my laptop speakers stopped working out of nowhere on Windows 11. They work perfectly on CachyOS. My Windows 11 partition won't live for much longer.
Sounds like all the hard work they did refactoring Windows 10 is gonna go to waste with the new AI vibe coding in Windows 11.
If they keep like this, reactos might actually one day surpass windows into being a better windows-like os
Windows 11 is not being developed by people. It is entirely undeveloped by ai.
What a punchline is finding out how absurdly long the image is while I was scrolling lol
Life really imitates art these days
Well letting us put the taskbar on top of on the side is to hard but breaking everything else with ai integration is quite easy lmao
just 30%?...
that should cause much less harm.
are the devs there that lazy? do they just not review the code?
I thought that especially these companies do code review and such...
I suspect it’s largely more the result of failing internal organization. Like, a detached from reality and ideologically motivated faction with in corporate leadership has seized control of the company and fired anyone who told them they were being idiots or opposed their initiatives. People are probably getting promoted or hired to management positions based on their ability to tell leadership what they want to hear rather than their ability to actually run things. Everyone lower down has internalized that telling the higher ups what’s going on will get them fired and only is telling them what they want to hear. Resources and people got diverted away from projects that the management doesn’t care about (have no potential to drive growth), and they’re just assuming that the “increase in productivity of AI” will make up the difference. Now everything is melting down and their core product is losing market share while the new products intended to drive growth are failing to see meaningful adoption. Heads will probably role, but it’s unlikely it will be the people who are causing the problem.
That’s what it looks like to me from the outside.
30% is last year news. Now windows 11 in entirely developed by ai. How it works:
1: Ai hallucinates a new feature.
2: Ai agents generate enough code to meet investors demands.
3: Ai Qa agents are being gaslighted into verifying code.
4: The result is a feature which does not even work, while also ten breaking changes in core system features, which worked completely fine, but ai rewrote them anyway.
.... i assume this is you hallucinating a pipeline?
EDIT: what i meant was: i assume this is your guess?
Its a mix. Some devs are definitely lazy but from what I have heard there is also a big push for devs to deploy faster and to actively use AI or be punished. So there is incentive to just get code out to meet deadlines/expectations and move on to the next task. The amount of work being put on an individual dev is rising with these accelerated expectations in mind, and getting another dev to review your code takes time from them and their own stack of tasks so code review quality has fallen greatly. Not to mention the high likelihood that AI is also doing code reviews to make up for this and we can only guess how many reviews get approved saying "you're absolutely right!"
They got rid of their entire QA staff team. So the cancer spreads much more unchecked than usual.
