oh of course google made tenor available in their own apps, as if they're trying desperately hard to copy how apple wall-gardens everything, but google is taking existing services and making them google only

and now here's a side by side comparison on tenor v. giphy the reason why i hate giphy is because it shows irreverent gifs, such as for the "get rotated" meme

welp, it took google 6 days to finally pull the plug on tenor's api thankfully alternatives like klipy is being used on discord, etc while microsoft decided to fall back to using giphy on windows 11 why cant microsoft use klipy than giphy that we all hate

god dammit, why giphy google having to kill tenor's API because feelings of course, leading to microsoft using giphy which many of us, me included absolutely hates it. 🫠

can software devs like.... stop relying on Microsoft's WebView2 and/or Electron to build your apps why cant you just build your apps using desktop-class libraries rather than relying on a web wrapper, thus giving chrome the spotlight as it continues to dominate the web browser industry

..and then microsoft is now hiring peeps who will help in developing true native desktop-class core apps on windows 11 heh, i shall apply /j

TechnologicalByte @technologicalbyte.com · 31/03/2026

not sure who's great idea it was to develop windows 11 core-apps using WebView2 of all things let that sink in, WebView (and Electron) are just web wrappers disguised as a "native app" but still, this is a step in the right direction

this particular build was given to me back when everyone was going ham over the leaked 21996 build in 2021, i forgot I had this VM made till I found out recently xd one thing that stands out is the time and date layout being different compared to build 21996

so the folks working on Windows will soon bring back a feature that's been the norm since Windows 95, the ability to reposition your taskbar. ..despite early builds of Windows 11 allowed you to do that via the registry. (though putting it to the side on this build, crashes explorer.)

explorer crashed and your error debugger spring into life to debug explorer.exe. seconds later, the error debugger crashed and now you have an error debugger, debugging an error debugger that was debugging explorer.exe, because the error debugger crashed while debugging explorer.exe that crashed.

Ah, that's a gem. Apparently running disk defrag on Millennium tends to be very buggy at times. this issue was patched at the cost of doing some system modifications, who would've thought!

So Windows Me is 25 years old today huh? Too bad I haven't experienced Millennium Edition myself (as my first OS I used was 2000 and moved to XP years later), this should be a great excuse to finally work on a Windows Me related video instead of it sitting on the backburner for months.

So, you're saying my perfectly good computer that doesn't support Secure Boot/TPM is considered obsolete, just because they wants to thwart cheaters with such requirements, as if kernel-level AC isn't enough? Talk about planned obsolescence, eh? www.theverge.com/news/720007/...
