It’s entirely AI generated. Look at the antenna. That’s a batwing antenna, but it’s missing an entire half. If you look at the original pic, it’s complete.

Edit: couldn’t find the original photo rn, and I cba to find it, but here’s another showing the complete shape of the batwing antenna:

You tend to want attention when you’re sharing an important message, and it kinda worked. A lot of people have now seen a message that wouldn’t have been seen by almost anyone had they not done that.

They added a feature to archinstall that times your install and tells you how much it took. My record is 3 minutes, and it wasn’t even on a super powerful gaming computer or anything (it was a lenovo ideapad 5 laptop)

You made it sound easy. The “share minimum telemetry” step requires you to click 6 different toggles and then an accept button. It’s even worse in win10, where you have to select the correct 6 checkboxes out of 12, and some of them are half hidden because they don’t fit in the screen at VGA resolution. The Windows OOBE comes straight from hell, as a punishment to humanity for making sand think.

I once accidentally bricked a windows install by replacing the system font with another font, while calling it the same. The system crashed on boot, and apparently the recovery menu also uses the same file, because it instantly crashed too. Had to do a complete reinstall of that one…

On the UI not being uniform, you may not have noticed, but it’s awful. They’ve fixed some stuff, but there was a point with win11 when 40% of the apps were light theme when you had dark theme. Even to this day, you have a complete mix of icons from different generations of windows in different menus (hell, there are still win95 icons in some places, and you can still set them up as folder icons). Some apps, despite rendering with the modern w11 style, clearly have the structure from decades ago (in fact, to this day, you can find menus from windows 3.11 in windows 11, and it also comes with the dialer app hidden in System32). Context menus are also another incredibly inconsistent thing, and for the longest time, win11 had 3 types of context menu styles that were used seemingly at random (some of the context menus also rendered in light mode even when the system-wide dark mode was enabled)

Weirdly enough, although the API was supposedly cancelled, if you have an old client it still works fine. Currently writing this as of 2026-07-02T04:34:00Z.

Discord’s gif picker doesn’t go directly to Tenor, it passes through their internal CDN, so it may be some caching. But it’s still funny that it works.

Tankies aren’t extreme left tho, I’d argue. They’re imperialist totalitarians, which isn’t exactly left. I’d call them centrists at best, but we all know where totalitarianism leads…

Even ddr3 has gone slightly up, which is insane
