In the future, when Windows users say "advanced users can turn that crap off" they'll mean the power button, not the group policy editor.
The clock should be used for entertainment purposes only
AI hallucination with time, and randomly hallucinated alarms should be fun.
GPOs already suck and MS is forcing admins to adopt program rules out of Intune to get the same effect. See CoPilot GPO failures for further depth.
Set alarm for 10am
OK setting alarm for 20am
Microsoft: “We want to fix Windows and make it great again!”
The fix:
I'm still mad Microsoft hasn't integrated Copilot into the calculator app yet. How can you possibly do calculations without AI confidently telling you wrong results?? /s
Don’t give them more ideas!
I thought microsoft wanted to put less ai in their shit? Who would have thaught.
Nadella won't be satisfied until he maps everyone's enter key to fuckong copilot.
I think instead of the computer showing you the time, they should replace the clock program with a chat prompt so you can ask the computer to guess what the time is
Jesus Christ. First they fucked over notepad and introduced dozens of application breaking new bugs and broke decades of existing functionality, now they're thinking about breaking the damn clock ?
Wait, no, they've already broken the clock in windows 11 because it no longer shows seconds, and doesn't respond to clicks on non primary displays.
I guess they decided it wasn't broken enough.
I'm getting so sick of their shit, and my employer locks down my laptop so tightly that I can't run any 3rd party software too, so I can't even install my own clock application.
Oh you want to see a fun win11ism? Use the calculator to determine the number of days between 2 dates.
Win 10: 2 fields you type in
Win 11: no typing is possible. You must click and scroll through a calendar ui for each date.
Our test version of the Clock app is missing the actual clock and everything else, like the Timer, Alarm, Stopwatch, and World clock
Author then goes on to praise the rounded edges omg can you believe it rounded edges on a clock!!!!!
A clock that doesn't tell time, and they follow that quote up with
which is understandable.
No it's not.
I know a lot of people don't like or use Windows, but the multiple timers and stopwatch functionality are genuinely useful and pleasant to look at. And "focus session" already exists in it.
What was that about Windows K2 again? Ah, who cares
It takes Windows 11 a minute to load the "control panel" window... just hangs.
Re-release XP and be done with it, you're bad and you should feel bad.
This is a fcking joke! I'm so sick of Microslop integrating AI into fcking everything. I just want to use my PC without any of this bloat. It just gets worse and worse. I can't believe they would do somethi..... wait a minute... I'm using linux. Nevermind then.
I think there’s something wrong with your u key. It doesn’t seem to work when preceded by an f.
How fnny. My keyboard has been acting a bit fnky lately.
What follows is our plan to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality this year, with a focus on performance, reliability and well-crafted experiences.

Only thing that could possibly help would be him falling out a window on-top of the guy that would replace him. Maybe third in line isn't a chud
this is a joke… right?
Everyone keep helping more people switch to Linux and help them be part of in-person/online groups. To discuss Linux, and get help where needed.
Motherf-
🤦🏻♀️
I started writing a clock app of my own because the Windows 11 clock app didn't have a proper analog mode and it's pretty useless. (Windows 3 clock app had analog mode, why not Windows 11?)
Some time ago I was ranting that instead of adding an analog mode, Microsoft will probably just pointlessly add Copilot to the clock app.
...Don't blame me! I was just pointing out the obvious direction Microsoft is going for, whether we like it or not!
Aaaaanyway. This summer's project is to figure out how the hell the Godot layout system works so I can make the layout responsive and I can release 1.1.
Instead of numbers it will show an AI-generated image of a text blur
Oh look it’s another stupid fucking idea from Microslop

Slopodoro? Pomoslop?
sry
I wish horrible things on everyone who works at Microsoft.
A system prompt hints at local AI-powered productivity features, specifically optimized for students. For example, the Clock app’s Focus session will act as a ‘Productivity’ assistant that breaks down tasks into clear, actionable steps, and it works by inferring the task category, then referencing the coursework of the student.
It would be great if there were a way to use AI to help people learn more effectively. But this feels like a way to train young people to become dependent on AI assistance for tasks/skills we humans used to be able to do well enough without AI. An addiction, rather than an assistant.
