Now that everyone has moved to OLED, developers need to get on their shit about properly implementing HDR. You shouldn't need to install RenoDX just to get basic features.

I’ve been running Linux Mint for over four years and was happy with it until the recent drama, especially the AI security scan fiasco. It really shook my trust in the maintainers.

I started looking for alternatives, but after testing hundreds of distros, none of them met my expectations for stability and reliability. I began to accept that my system would just break from time to time until I found a thread recommending Windows Seven as a rock-solid alternative.

After researching, it turns out this version is still surprisingly usable. It’s stable, reliable, and with extended updates plus a good firewall, security isn’t a major issue.

Has anyone else tried this? How did it go for you? Personally, I haven’t run into a single problem so far.

Oh, really? I’m so sorry that a massive, multi-decade engineering feat like the .NET Framework isn't "complete" enough for your obviously superior, high-level needs. I guess thousands of engineers at Microsoft have just been sitting around playing Minesweeper since 2002 while you’ve been out here bravely fighting the "wrong" documentation.
Actually, you’re completely wrong, because if .NET were "incomplete," then why is the .exe file called an "executable"? It executes things, doesn't it? If it can execute, it’s finished. Case closed. Plus, have you even considered that Win32 is old? Why would you want to use something old when you can use something newer? New is always better, even if it doesn't do the specific thing you want it to do. That’s just basic logic.
And "woefully incomplete"? Please. I managed to write a Console app that says "Hello World" in like three lines of code without a single P/Invoke. If it can do that, it can clearly do anything. Maybe the reason the standard library is "wrong" is because you're just looking at it wrong? Did you ever think of that? Maybe you're the one who’s "woefully incomplete."
But sure, go ahead. Waste your life typing out
 [DllImport("user32.dll")] 
for the five-thousandth time like it’s 1995. I hope you enjoy your memory leaks and your "precision." Some of us prefer to live in 2025, where we don't care if the code actually works as long as the syntax highlighting looks pretty.

>>107679627
>Microsoft plans to rewrite 100% of their code base in Rust using AI
That has been officially claimed false.
Their "1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code" target is just part of a research project they are working on. The goal is to build technology that *could* facilitate such a massive migration, not to execute it immediately on Windows.
Microsoft is already "all-in" on Rust for new security-critical projects. In 2025, developers have already noted Rust code appearing in the Windows kernel (e.g., win32kbase_rs.sys) and Azure components like Hyper-V.

Completely disable sleep, suspend and hibernation. There's no point ever using them unless you are using a laptop or some other portable device. Of course I'm a boomer so what the fuck do I know.
You can edit /etc/systemd/sleep.conf
and then do sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

What if there was an AI that generated memes, and you give feedback on each one, until it generates the perfect meme?
3 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107679360
You don't understand. The reason why you give feedback is so the AI can personalise these theoretical AI memes for you, the individual. If you don't like (aka object to) a particular meme you can give negative feedback.
>>
>>107678734
The problem with AI currently is it gets worse over time on a single task as its context window starts filling up. So what you suggested is not really possible now but might be in the coming years

You're talking about LLMs.
Most memes are shared as images so image gen AIs would excel at this task. Train it on a bunch of memes then use feedback to distill it to the perfect meme (which would just be cobson).
