Every time Microsoft does an update, they reduce functionality. Basic functions like print, search and file storage get moved into sub-sub-sub menus. The point of this is to make room on the main screen for ads. Screwing up your work flow gives you more time to look at them. This is intentional.
They updated onenote today on my work PC and changed all my checkBOXES to CIRCLES. WHO THE FUCK APPROVED THAT as you can see I’m still pissed. Fuck microslop
The fact that the right click menu is now a submenu of the right click menu drive me mad.
Has been a long-known problem, if you open a window with microsoft, it crashes
‘you have two outlooks inside you, neither work and it will grow’
Outlooks, is that what’s inside of me?
See, I’ve been thinking a lot about this. What am I? What aren’t I? Am I composite or irreducible? These are hard fucking questions.
I think about why I care in the first place… unlike dogs, cats, kangaroos… the behavior of these animals don’t demonstrate contemplation. It’s as though they exist in a sort of “spotlight” consciousness—aware and responding to the spotlight of qualia in their field of awareness. Why are we different?
Psychedelics are rather interesting because they have this profound capacity for instigating the feeling of deep insight. How is it that some mushrooms can make me feel like everything suddenly makes sense, when I have not actually learned anything during my trip?
I get the feeling that the quality of an insight can be approximated somehow, and the brain likely uses this to make me feel the “aha” moment I know from true insights. That’s to say, insight is a feeling—and it can be triggered independent of actual insights having occurred. Fascinating idea, no?
How might my brain approximate the quality of an insight? Well, if I’m not full of shit about this, then I think the answer here is an architectural one. Something about the structure of concepts should, perhaps necessarily, allow for related concepts to be graded by the quality of their relationship. For example as when you learn a new form of mathematics, as your brain realizes the strength of connection to prior learned forms of mathematics, it can make you feel “aha.”
The “aha” feeling is tethered to my reward incentive, which helps structure my self-prescribed purpose. I want to learn, understand, grow… these are all endeavors that help mankind, because it is in mankind’s personal interest to levy control over nature. It makes sense, in this way, that I am how I am.
But outlooks inside me? Hmm… I need to think on your theory more.
WHY is gamora?
Go•mor rah I ga’môra l
a town in ancient Palestine, probably south of the Dead Sea. According to Gen. 19:24 it was destroyed by fire from heaven, along with Sodom, for the wickedness of its inhabitants.
noun a wicked or depraved place: the city has always been more than a tawdry Sodom and Gomorrah.
Probably not…
Gamora
Marvel Comics fictional character
Still doesn’t seem right…
What do you mean?
*Microslop Outlook
No way in hell I would want to go to the moon nowadays. Technology these days is like having two left feet. Especially if AI is involved.
The live stream of the launch was low resolution with constant cutouts. I was also surprised by how poor the tracking was. It’s saddening to see how much worse this has been so far compared to 1969.
To be fair it was cutting edge SiFi come to life in 1969. This is at least 30 years too late for that sort of world of tomorrow excitement. Is there even anything ‘cutting edge’ on this launch? I mean Outlook, really? Outlook poor if that is the best they could do.
Yeah, I rewatched the launch from Everyday Astronaut’s livestream and he actually had better footage, he had a tracking camera showing the booster separation
Outside of the launch part, I think it’s mostly because SpaceX has set the standard so high, with tons of high resolution cameras streaming over Starlink even during reentry
SpaceX does a good job, but it didn’t exist in 1969. My own take on this is that as a society we simply don’t care and are generally worse at our jobs.
It’s always assumed that things are constantly getting better, but I’m reminded at moments like this that over the course of nearly 60 years, we’ve not progressed as much as we’d like to think.
It’s clear that several people in charge of the youtube livestream have no idea about how to do that correctly. I think the difference is just effort. Viewership was tiny compared to Apollo 11, as was the hype leading up to it. It’s clear that NASA could provide a whole lot better footage if even some random youtuber (Everyday Astronaut) can beat them. So that aspect is, as you said, because as a society we don’t really care about the Artemis launch. SpaceX does put a fair amount of effort into their livestreams, and you can easily tell by watching them.
For the recorded footage, film often has a lot higher dynamic range than digital cameras and usually looks a whole lot better when recording a launch up close.
Far shots are limited by atmospheric distortion and physical limits from diffraction for a given aperture size. None of that can change.
IDK anything about the quality of the original live broadcast of Apollo 11, so i don’t have anything to compare in that regard
Plus the moon is haunted
Product working as designed.
Vibe coding, baby.
Legit endangering our brave spacefarers.
probably the outlook code was vibe coded kek.
A late April fool‘s hopefully… 😱
Have you ever used outlook?
It’s the worst, and no, it never works. The company I work at forces outlook on us, still, and there are some 5% of users that can’t mail each other. Why? Don’t know! I send a mail to a person, outlook logs say it was delivered, it’s nowhere to be found. What to do? According to the company, just live with it and creat new accounts from scratch when it happens
We could ask support as the company pays hefty windows license fees but even there it’s tucked up as M$ refuses to help directly it needs to go through some support company that wants that we pay them even more no ey separately for the long list of microbugs.
I find it almost hilarious, if I didn’t have to work with it myself.
Giving astronauts outlook accounts is just mean
Recently started a new job and for the first time I’m fully emersed in the Microslop software suite. Somehow Outlook and Teams haven’t failed critically but I still hate them. Someone emails me a PDF, so I open it. No, I don’t want to open PDFs inside Outlook, so I download the PDF. Where is it? Is it on my Onedrive or does the file actually exist on my computer? Does anything exist on my computer?
In my personal life I haven’t touched Windows in about 4 months now and I don’t want to go back, although I’ll probably be booting up Windows 10 because I just downloaded the pre-alpha version of Kitten Space Agency. Planning to try Bazzite soon, we’ll see how that goes, I’ve heard good things.
Outlook is just impressively bad. When I came back to work from the weekend, there was this attack on one of our sites that sent out a notification for each attack it detected and I came to work to 20K new emails.
Ever tried, to delete 20K emails from outlook? Its amazingly stupid! First of all, you can’t just bulk select. Search won’t help either (Search half the time returns nothing anyways) so you have to kind of select one, scroll 2387942 times down until you are a few thousand mails in. Now, this is important: Click correctly! If you click wrong, all the mails you’ve selected so far will be unselected again and you have to start over. Press shift, and select a mail. Now you have a few thousand mails selected. Press delete.
And now go for a coffee because you won’t be able to use your outlook for the next 30 minutes. You can’t open mails, can’t refresh the page (you’ll get a crash page if you do). Half an hour later, outlook reloads again, and you’ll see that it successfully deleted about 80% of your selected mails. The other 20%, I hear you ask? Yeah, those were just not deleted. Why? I don’t know? Why are you asking me?!
I would constantly see “There are 6K mails” and then the table where the mail headers are shown shows 7 mails… Load more? Nope, nothing, need to reload the page.
Try copy paste! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccckkk if they don’t crash, they will just piss you off… Now pasting gets you this weirdo paste box. You can’t type anymore, there is this stupid paste thing floating, and you need to press ESC to continue.
Half the time I’m writing an email and the text formatting options just disappear, and I can’t do any formatting anymore. I can fix this, I just have to get out, to go drafts, reopen the mail I was writing because fuck you, that’s why.
How about outlook365? Its awesome and amazing! I write text and I can see bits and pieces of the text I wrote previously just disappear, like its high on Alzheimer. You literally just see parts of paragraphs disappear while you are writing below. Best part of this? Then you change your useragent to say that you’re not on linux, but on windows, and the problem magically resolves itself!
Microsoft is the worst software company ever
Unfortunately yes, can‘t get around it in company for 25 years now and started with 97 so I think I know what I am talking about. Can‘t avoid it in many enterprises though so I feel what you‘ve posted 💯! 😉
My general worries are the quality of Microslops current software quality and the dependency towards it when flying to space while every week there is another thing not working after updates were made. Wouldn‘t like to base my mail communication towards this „stability“ when leaving the planet though. 😐
I swear to God that Word exists to make us feel better about Outlook.
Imagine if microslop used their so called ai bullshit to make outlook search actually fucking work.
It was a personal device apparently.
This is a common issue. I’ve only ever solved it by deleting registry keys.
Things you don‘t want in critical situations or before leaving this planet on a spaceahip - deleting registry keys 😜 !
I also have one! And it doesn’t work.
I was fully expecting the “New” dogwater web based Outlook client to be borked but the fact that classic is borked too is so fucking funny
I scanned through the next several minutes after this moment and didn’t hear them address the duplicate Outlooks again. So, I emailed the Artemis II communications team, who is definitely not busy today I’m sure, and asked: Can the astronauts check their email yet?
I’ll update if I hear back.
I feel bad for them.
