The report appears to have originated from PCWorld, but has gained mass attention on Reddit with over 12,000 upvotes and thousands of angry comments. The good news is the report is false. According to contacts that are familiar with the Windows roadmap, there is no plan to ship a Windows 12 this year. In fact, I understand that the Windows roadmap for 2026 is all about fixing Windows 11 and attempting to improve its reputation by addressing top feedback such as reducing AI bloat across the OS, bringing back the movable Taskbar, and more.

[…]

There’s lots of other claims the report makes that are also easy to debunk. The codename Hudson Valley is from 2023 and not tied to a Windows 12, the “radically redesigned” UI claims are just based on a leaked concept from 2022 that was never greenlit to ship, and a subscription-based version of Windows has been rumored to be around the corner since 2012.

There are different things I like about them… 🤔 I really like the way PieFed merges crossposts together, although I wish it could be smarter at “noticing” identical posts that weren’t actually crossposted.

But then, I really like “Scaled” sorting, and Lemmy’s seems way better to me. (I couldn’t begin to tell you why.) I also like having more choice of Android apps on Lemmy, but I’m sure that’ll change quickly enough.

So I guess it might depend on how development goes on both platforms?

It’s only going to get worse! 🥳

Because I already started using Mastodon.World years ago, then Lemmy.World, and now Piefed.World. 🤷‍♂️

Busuu for language learning. It’s like Duolingo, but the main difference is that it actually teaches you the grammar, instead of just making you memorise random sentences. It also has some audio and video of native speakers, at least on the Japanese course. And each module ends with a prompt where you freely write or speak your answer (e.g., “What do you like to eat?”) in your target language, and then it gets graded/corrected by native speakers in the community.

And for Japanese kanji specifically, WaniKani. Nothing else I’ve ever tried has helped with kanji, but their writing style and off-the-wall mnemonics honestly make it so much easier. And you get the first three levels for free, which is actually tons of content.

Might just send them this meme.

I loved the phrase “JPEG of thought” in that article 😅 Thanks for the interesting link.

It’d be called Great British Mail, because we’re only allowed to do things that pander to Reformtwats now

I just checked their style guide (it’s an Autistic fascination of mine 😅)… funnily enough, they specifically recommend using “far-right” over “alt-right”. But they don’t have an entry for “far-right”, and I couldn’t find any mention of “hard right”.

“alt-right”
use once and in quotes at first mention; use far right at any subsequent mentions. Note: far right (noun) and far-right (adjective). More specific descriptions can be used where relevant when mentioning individuals associated with the movement, but such descriptions should be evidence-based.

Maybe we should assign these fuckers playing cards like Bush did 👀

The article doesn’t even include the word “daughter”… OP, has it changed since you posted it?

Don’t forget to force them to do sports, martial arts, Scouting, etc., against their will. Being around their most athletic peers will fix the gay thoughts for sure.

You’ll just be reaching the front of the phone queue by then 👍

Depends whether I think it’ll be a massive battle to get them to even pretend to give a shit (it usually is).

“Did you know you haven’t subscribed to Xbox? You should turn on Windows Backup! Save your important documents in OneDrive! Do you want to import your browsing data into Edge, just in case you feel like trying it? Copilot can help you get things done in all your favourite Microsoft apps!”

“P-Please, just leave me alone…”

“OK, I’ll remind you later!”

I think it’s less true now than it once was, but I remembering hearing somewhere that pre-recorded messages on trains/subways/in stations tend to use feminine voices for information, and masculine voices for instructions.

There are definitely still times on the London Underground where you’ll hear announcements that switch in the middle, and that does usually seem to be the pattern.

(I realise this doesn’t really apply to GPSes, but your comment is what reminded me, so. 😅)

It’s… February…

I’m sure it’s the only bit they’ll actually bother enforcing

Looking at Lemmy Explorer, and using the “Only Show NSFW” filter, it looks like it’s pretty much just Lemmy.world at the moment.

Soooooo go on MSNBC and say “Hell no” and “over my dead body!”

And then Jon Stewart smash-cuts to a report revealing you actually voted “Yes”? Like always happens? Cool great awesome
