Love to hate on microslop but this bug seems pretty benign, saying that this update "broke stability" is not true.
itopaloglu83•1h ago
Filenames in recycle bin getting mangled and users not knowing which file they can recover is a seriously stupid bug, maybe not an instability but it was working okay in the last 40 years without any issues.

"Breaks the Recycle Bin" is hyperbolic, it affects text in a confirmation dialog.

So regular everyday bugs we live with daily in the Linux desktop world.

I love how primary sources for "journalism" these days are comments by random jamokes on Reddit.

alex1138•1h ago
Which becomes interesting by the way as Reddit kicks out all the existing subreddit mods, decides what truth is, and orients (apparently) the site to training LLMs on

Yeah, you shouldn't trust people-on-the-internet in principle. But that's not the issue as much as uh... enshittification is a mild word for what they're doing. It might amount to some form of fraud

Could you explain what you're talking about please?

You (and me) commented on it, which is the journalist's main purpose of writing headlines like these.

I just installed NetBSD 110. RC5, no issues so far. RC4 had a minor issue that was fixed the day after I created a PR (bug report). The NetBSD team is very tiny to the team Microsoft has for W11.

I wonder how long will it take for M/S to fix this issue ? At a minimum maybe 2 weeks ? I think M/S needs to stop worrying about AI and focus on their core business until these things stop happening.

Windows is 10% of Microsoft’s revenue, so this is a result of them doing what you suggested and focusing on their core business (cloud services and Office).

Remember that even they switch to Mac or Linux, many workers will still be forced to use Office, Exchange, and/or Azure.

marcosdumay•1h ago
It's funny... Microsoft classifies things as core or not based on revenue. That's a very bean-counter thing to do.

Also, most companies wouldn't completely abandon something that makes for 10% of their revenue. Even if every other product they have didn't completely depend on it.

They could (and might as well) give Windows away for free. It's not an operating system for them, it's a sales funnel.

But that sales funnel needs to not exceed a certain maximum level of annoyance to the people traveling down it, or they'll look askance at other options.

I mean, not even all the Copilot silliness has been able to lead to The Year of the Linux Desktop, but Windows 11 as a whole I suspect has been good for Mac and iPad sales. And those are people that now aren't getting nagged by their operating systems to use OneNote, OneDrive, Word, Copilot etc at every turn.

Things I like that break recycle bins:

1. Saul Goodman 2. Walter White 3. Windows 11

Someone1234•1h ago
I just flagged this article, and want to explain my reasoning.

This is an unacceptable level of clickbait journalism. Nothing in the article's title is substantiated in the article's content, it doesn't break any of those three things, and the failures it does report are trivial (a dialog displays incorrectly, and a few devices have scattered reports of instability).

Microsoft has made a lot of mistakes in recent years, but this article isn't about them. We shouldn't invite in this level of clickbait even if it is popular to criticize Microsoft, because all it does is add noise to an otherwise very necessary discussion of MS's practices.

I flagged it, too. It was a big nothingburger.

And between them and Intel, their code for their wpa supplicant and driver interaction is absolute dog shit in WiFi 7 land.
