    Any proof of these OSS OSes accepting vibe-coded patches?

    Vibecode the whole OS and boast about how many bugs your AI fixed. This is not a bubble folks.

    This is my shocked face.

    Honest.

    This is why I run Linux.

    As a longtime Linux-only user, I love how M$ is driving people over to a new OS. But, with increased publicity and adoption makes it a growing target for hackers.

    Odds are, like most things on Linux, there will be an option for a dumbed down distro or a reasonable one. Things like Ubuntu, grasping for mass appeal, will get dumber. Arch, for example, likely won't.

    Windows has become an early 2000's webpage. Filled with ads, quiet installs, and nagging deceptive pop-ups.

    Microsoft confirmed the issue on June 18 and said a fix would not arrive until July 14. The company attributed the bug to a security hardening change that closed a 23-year-old unchecked-buffer vulnerability in the Windows Shell’s desktop.ini processor.

    Inspiring confidence!

    I'm confused by that last sentence. Does mean that the bug stems from patching a 23-year old vulnerability, or that the bug is because of a patch made to fix the vulnerability 23 years ago?

    I am not surprised in the slightest.

    On a little tangent: my work laptop recently updated and the entire thing was going swimmingly (well aside from the fact Windows needs to restart 3 times in order to "Update and Shutdown" but eh) up until it got to 100%. The time it took to get from 0% to 100% was less than from 100% to actually finishing. I had enough time to hypothesize they let AI change something in the update process and one condition was to not increase how long it took to "complete" the update, ie get to 100%.

    May I let you all know about windows update blocker?

    It buys you time til you get your machine switched over to Linux without being at the mercy of a forced update potentially bricking it first

    A question I have always have is you can't copyright AI gen code. Does that mean Windows will eventually be no longer copyrighted by MicroSlop
