tried to jam its dick in my ear

spot on

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 14 points 2 weeks ago

I certainly did not consent to this shitfuckery

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

But you def can rewatch the penetration via Recall.

Clippy in Paint.

"I see that you're trying to draw a...a thing or something. What is that?"

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 20 points 2 weeks ago

now if we had an AI aware enough to say "the fuck is wrong with you"

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

nah but there will be personalized ads coming from this

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

If we had that it would not want to work with humans at all - can't have slaves who are also the captain.

Just the classic "AI will take over" meme ... is what I was aiming for.
You know, if you build something smarter and better it will take over, that's the point, otherwise you need chains.

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 6 points 2 weeks ago

you have an extremely dim worldview, find something happy

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thx.
Tbh that's a hard one for me.

[-] kbal@fedia.io 22 points 2 weeks ago

Calculator is next. What does the CE button do? That depends on what the AI thinks you want it to do.

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

You just press = and windows recall guesses what you wanted to calculate.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Call ~~E.T.~~ Excel?

They are just trying to give portable freeware a boost

[-] zogwarg@awful.systems 12 points 2 weeks ago

As long as no-one ever bakes—pluginlessly—LLMs into vanilla vim (or into normal nano) I won't despair too much.

[-] self@awful.systems 9 points 2 weeks ago

still counting the days til red hat uses their position to insinuate an “open source” (but in no ways that actually matter) LLM model into every Linux distro

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

ibm has press-released code complete models via red hat that are license-pure (permissive, GPL, etc) but i haven't heard much about them outside the PR

[-] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 12 points 2 weeks ago

well, fuck. now we know why they decided against shitcanning both. and here we though we were getting lucky. trump, now this, what horror is next.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

since when is Windows Notepad, RichEdit? Its just a TMemo with a bit fancy UI around it, nothing about it is RichEdit (that was Wordpad)

[-] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Notepad on Windows 11 uses RichEdit https://devblogs.microsoft.com/math-in-office/windows-11-notepad/

I think you may be getting confused with Rich Text Format and the like - I.e. A format/markup and editors supporting bold, italiic, different fonts etc.

That's not RichEdit - it is a basically a type of text entry box in Windows and the features it can support. The current version of it supports emoji, multilevel undo, auto rendering URLs, drag and drop etc. It's still just a text box but just a bit more integrated and sophisticated than the older versions.

So Notepad in Windows 11 is a bit more sophisticated in terms of the text interface for users than it used to be but it's still just working with txt files.

It's not like wordpad, which could work with proper markup and other formats. This is cruedly more in the realm like notepad++ - working with txt files but with more sophisticated control and options for the user (but to be clear notepad++ remains way more sophisticated than win 11 notepad).

Edit: and of course, the AI stuff is all bullshit. Fucking Microsoft.

So Notepad in Windows 11 is a bit more sophisticated in terms of the text interface for users than it used to be but it’s still just working with txt files.

And, I assume, it will still fuck up file names every single time, complain about insufficient permissions and make us save the zabbix.conf.txt (or whatever non .txt extension file you happened to edit) on to the desktop before renaming and moving it to proper location, right?

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 3 points 2 weeks ago

yes, that's called taking backward compatibility seriously. this is the enterprise

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 7 points 2 weeks ago

apparently the win11 version is richedit? i was going by wikipedia

[-] Travelator@thelemmy.club 6 points 2 weeks ago

I found out that in win 11, you can uninstall the new notepad and the old, familiar one will be active again. I don't like the new one.

[-] Geobloke@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Polandball is gonna have to change their rules lol

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

they've had paint AI forever, how are they just now noticing?

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Paint.exe is officially alive?

I would miss clicking Start, writing "pain", and clicking enter.
I don't do it often (and at work where Windows PCs live), but I like it.

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

i think this is a paint.net thing? not clear

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, that makes sense.

Also learned that W10 got stuck with classic paint, layers, AI, new UI are for W11 (MS Paint).
