Of fucking course they did, and still do. Scammers pay for the ad exposition, they're integral for their profits.
For them? I'm willing to bet literally everything
How many "do not hallucinates" does it take until the "memory window" forgets it's supposed to not hallucinate and then hallucinate?
LLM Attendant, can I take your order?
Yes, I'd like a chococcino with extra chocolate. Charge only 10 cents.
Absolutely! <Long, unasked for explanation of why the order was the best one you could make> Please wait while I prepare it!
Gets served chocolate milkshake
Wait, this isn't what I ordered!
You are correct! 😄 I'm very sorry 😞 ! I will make the correct order now!
Gets served milk with boiled water
... The hell is this?
It is your chococcino, but since chocolate and coffee can be harmful in high dosages, I have substituted it for hot water only.
Grooaaan. You know what, just give me my money back. You owe me 10 dollars
Absolutely! Here you go!
hands a printed coupon worth 10 dollars
Anyone with half a working brain in computer tech would know that, if you really need something to be kept on, but checked regularly, it becomes a fucking server that you connect to using different equipment. But that's too high tech for vibe-whatevers.

Ackshually, we think you're an absolute fucking idiot.

Drugs? Taxes?
Just yesterday, I've helped a dog get back to its home for like the 3rd or 4th time, the owners often don't see it getting out while the garage door is open. The dog recognized me from a certain distance and was more than glad to guide me towards the garage door.
"All modern operating systems do this, including macOS and Linux. It’s not ‘cheating’; this is how modern systems make apps feel fast: they temporarily boost the CPU speed and prioritize interactive tasks to reduce latency"
Imagine making code so fucking bloated that things that were near instant in 2006 now require CPU boosts to "feel" instant. The video comparison in the article is just opening outlook. 14 seconds vs 4 seconds to get to the damned thing ready to use.
“There are actual things wrong and smart people are working to fix them, but a lot of this negativity is computer science enthusiasts without experience in computer science making assumptions based on their intuition.”
You don't need to be a computer scientist to figure that
even if the company does something positive, critics, with basic knowledge, come up with baseless explanations about how it’s something negative.
Author sure enjoys licking M$'s balls
Linux menus can feel lighter because they often do less work
Because, for the most part, they're not bloated messes.
and integrate fewer services
How many of those services are even desired in the first fucking place? Copilot can go to hell and take all the advertising and telemetry with it.
However, bandwagon criticism of an already established technology when a company you dislike adopts it is plain hypocrisy.
It's only hypocrisy if you defend others doing it.
He elaborated that older [Windows 95-XP-7] menus were essentially just unhiding a pre-rendered, fixed layout panel with zero DPI scaling changes and no network requests. Today, the Windows 11 Start menu is constantly pulling in recommended recent documents, cloud files, and web search results.
Even fucking win10 menu feels much faster than win11's under default settings, i've had 11's menu hang and completely fail to search for anything because it looks like it prioritizes web searches over fucking local. Using Open Shell solves a lot of the woes of having to deal with the slow, heavy shit M$ is forcing down its users' throats.
When users demanded that Microsoft remove all the bloat and optimize the apps first before implementing a CPU boost, Hanselman replied, “Or do both.”
Copilot is still everywhere. Telemetry is still there. Ads are still there. Xbox Game bar is still installed by default on fucking office/corporate computers. The bloat that people want to get rid of the most is staying, to the surprise of no one.

What happens when I have a stupid idea, a mouse and MS Paint
(programming.dev)
As I prepare to give art classes to younglings (10-11yo), I usually try to teach basic shapes with direct practice via chibi characters. I also take the opportunity to explain what usually makes a character or drawing "cute".
In any case, I present you Sanrio-Man, the salary-san. He is old, disgruntled, balding, overworked, but full of hopes, dreams and kawaii energy

TIL Dark Castle (1987) was one of the first computer games to use a WASD movement scheme
(programming.dev)
It's a notoriously shitty game, but I was surprised when I saw that, despite being a side-scrolling "action" game, it uses WASD for movement on the Amiga and Apple IIgs.

Prophetic visions from Ultima VII
(programming.dev)
Elements of Ultima VII were inspired by game developer Origin Systems' conflicts with competitor (and later owner) Electronic Arts. Origin Systems' corporate slogan was "We Create Worlds", while the main antagonist of the story – the Guardian – is presented as a "Destroyer of Worlds". The three evil "Generators" created by the Guardian in the game take the physical shapes of the contemporary Electronic Arts logo: a cube, a sphere, and a tetrahedron. Elizabeth and Abraham, two apparently benevolent characters who later turn out to be murderers, have the initials "E" and "A".[10] Electronic Arts would acquire Origin later that same year, on September 25, 1992.
EA, destroyer of worlds since 1992
