Wow! Windows 11 is really progressive! So state of the art, and empowering!
Cough, cough.... Call me an ambulance! I think I've hurt myself.

Predictions of a cyborg-infested world in the near future are probably overblown. About the same, but with a shiny suit, with big shoulder pads

Based on me as a baseline, future developers will be better looking.

It’s not style and shape that makes code hard to maintain. It’s the lack of clarity on how the code works, what it represents, and/or why it was written (this way). What are you going to think about the developer of this code in six months?

Low-code/no-code is not a new programming strategy, but it has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. Here’s a look at what’s changed since its origin decades ago. Coming soon: Negative-code development

A recently discovered FBI training document shows that US law enforcement can gain limited access to the content of encrypted messages from secure messaging services like iMessage, Line, and WhatsApp, but not to messages sent via Signal, Telegram, Threema, Viber, WeChat, or Wickr. "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail."
Sorry I keep using it, but I still think it's the most appropriate quote for all these stories

A developer asked Microsoft's WinUI 3 dev team about delayed open source plans for the nearly two-year-old project that serves as the company's next-gen UI library for creating Windows apps. Apparently, creating one API to bind them all is harder than it looks in PowerPoint

The UK’s competition regulator has officially ruled that Facebook parent company Meta’s acquisition of Giphy should be unwound, a year and a half after the social media giant first said it was acquiring the popular GIF-making and sharing website. He who controls the GIFs controls the internet
And it's pronounced GIF!

Microsoft is taking a lot of flak for planning to integrate a short-term financing app into the company’s Edge browser. The app would allow users to make purchases immediately and pay for them at a future date. Install now, regret later

Between this, the price tracking, and the difficulty of changing, I'm surprised they haven't added a 'feature' to let you know when your favorite (ahem) 'actress' (or 'actor') has a new video out. Anything to keep you glued to their screen.
And yes, the 'ahem' is code for another four letter word.
Now they'll read this and give Kent another news item in the next few weeks.

You can just follow them now, and get notified that way

Yes, but that wouldn't be progressive enough per the way MS is doing things. I imagine that just visiting a page would be enough for Edge to keep track of that 'actor' for you in the future, even if you were in private mode. "Think of the convenience for our users! They'll love it!" is the brain-dead thought going through some president's mind...

A lot of people struggle with legacy code because it’s hard to understand. Step 0: Post to Q&A, asking "What does this function do?"
