Windows 11 In January Has Been An Absolute Fever Dream

9 hours ago 133.4K views 0 shares

When even MS Paint gets a login screen before Explorer.exe decides to show up for work, you know Microsoft's QA team took an extended holiday. Notepad breaking? Mildly annoying. Snipping Tool dying? Frustrating. But Explorer.exe not working is like your OS achieving enlightenment and transcending into a higher plane of existence where files are just... concepts. The escalating brain galaxy meme perfectly captures the progression from "okay this is weird" to "WHAT DIMENSION AM I IN?" Because nothing says "stable operating system" quite like your file manager ghosting you harder than your Tinder matches. At least MS Paint's login screen is innovative though—Microsoft finally figured out how to make people miss Windows Vista.

I Still Haven't Figured Out How To Do This

You can reverse-engineer a distributed microservices architecture, debug race conditions in multithreaded applications, and optimize algorithms to O(log n), but deleting a blank page in Word? That's where we draw the line. Microsoft Word's pagination system operates on ancient dark magic that predates modern computing—it's literally easier to rewrite the entire document than figure out why that phantom page exists. The irony of being called "technologically advanced" while frantically mashing backspace and delete like a caveman discovering fire is just *chef's kiss*. Fun fact: Those blank pages are usually caused by paragraph marks, section breaks, or page breaks that Word hides like Easter eggs from hell. But will you remember that next time? Absolutely not.

The Great Gen Z

Gen Z developers out here really using Microsoft Word as their IDE because their parents coded while sipping wine during pregnancy. The causation is crystal clear: alcohol during pregnancy → 20 years later → unironically thinking Word is a legitimate development environment. The video title "Why Microsoft Word is the best IDE for programming" is either the most elaborate troll in tech history or proof that we've failed as a species. Either way, 465K people watched it, which means humanity's curiosity about terrible ideas remains our most consistent trait. At least they're importing libraries properly... in a word processor. Baby steps, I guess?

20 Years Later

You know how pregnant people are told "don't drink, don't smoke, it won't affect the baby"? Well, turns out some things DO have long-term consequences. Fast forward 20 years and the baby grows up to be someone who genuinely believes Microsoft Word is the best IDE for programming. The video shows someone actually coding in Word with syntax highlighting and everything, making a case for why it's a "superior" development environment. It's like watching someone use a hammer to screw in a lightbulb and then writing a thesis on why it's more efficient than a ladder. The causality here is chef's kiss: something clearly went wrong during development (pun intended), and now we're witnessing the consequences. Next up: "Why Notepad is better than Git for version control" and "Excel: The Ultimate Database Management System."

I Hate That When It Happens

You just want to call it a night and shut down your machine. Simple request, really. But Windows has other plans. Those two update options sitting there with their little warning icons, basically holding your sleep hostage until you let Microsoft install whatever they feel like pushing today. The "Sleep" option just chilling at the top, taunting you with its simplicity. But no—you've got to pick between "Update and shut down" or "Update and restart." Neither of which is what you asked for. It's like ordering water and being told you can have sparkling water or hot water. Just give me the normal option. Windows really said "so you wanna do it the hard way, huh?" because apparently wanting to just power off without a 45-minute update session is asking too much. Peak OS design right there.

I'M Not Calling It By Its „Real" Name Anymore, Sry Slopdella

When your AI coding assistant starts generating code so mediocre that you have to rebrand it in your head. "Microslop" is the perfect portmanteau for when Microsoft's tools produce output that's less "intelligent assistance" and more "copy-paste from the first StackOverflow result." The dev community has been roasting various AI coding tools for their... let's say "variable quality" outputs, and giving them degrading nicknames has become a coping mechanism. Whether it's hallucinating APIs that don't exist, suggesting deprecated methods from 2015, or just straight-up generating spaghetti code, sometimes these tools earn their new monikers. The crossed-out version number adds extra spice—like the tool is so bad you can't even acknowledge which iteration of disappointment you're using.

Microsoft: Need More Copilot

Microsoft AI Programming

2 days ago 170.1K views 0 shares

Microsoft really said "you know what developers need? Copilot in literally everything" and just kept going. We've got Copilot in VS Code, Copilot in Windows, Copilot in Edge, Copilot in Office, Copilot in GitHub, and probably Copilot in your toaster by next quarter. The beautiful irony here is that both users AND Microsoft agree on one thing: they hate Copilot. Users hate the AI suggestions cluttering their workflow, the subscription fees, and the fact that it sometimes generates code that looks like it was written by a caffeinated intern at 4 AM. Meanwhile, Microsoft's solution to everyone hating Copilot? Obviously more Copilot. Because if one AI assistant annoying you doesn't work, surely seventeen will do the trick. It's the tech equivalent of "the beatings will continue until morale improves" but make it AI-powered and charge $10/month for it.

Me In 2050

The year is 2050. Tech companies have finally achieved their ultimate dream: forcing everyone to authenticate through their cloud services for literally everything. Want to access your own files on your own machine? Sorry buddy, Microsoft/Google/Apple needs to verify your identity first. The UN peacekeepers are here to "help" you migrate to the cloud, but you're having none of it. You've barricaded yourself in your home office, clutching your local user account like it's the last bastion of digital freedom. They can pry your offline credentials from your cold, dead hands. Future historians will call this the Great Local Account Resistance of 2050. Your grandchildren will ask "What was a local user account, grandpa?" and you'll shed a single tear while explaining the ancient times when you could actually own your own computer without needing internet permission to use it.

Microsoft Is The Best

Someone asked Bing if floating point numbers can be irrational, and Bing confidently responded with a giant "Yes" followed by an explanation that would make any computer science professor weep into their keyboard. Spoiler alert: floating point numbers are always rational by definition—they're literally fractions with finite binary representations. Irrational numbers like π or √2 can't be perfectly represented in floating point, which is why we get approximations. But Bing? Nah, Bing said "trust me bro" and cited Stack Exchange like that makes it gospel. The best part? It sourced Stack Exchange with a "+1" as if upvotes equal mathematical correctness. Peak search engine energy right here. Google might be turning into an ad-infested nightmare, but at least it hasn't started inventing new branches of mathematics... yet.

Evolution Of The Trash Icon

The recycle bin icon started as actual trash, then slowly evolved into something recognizable. But somewhere around 2000, Microsoft decided Internet Explorer deserved its own dedicated spot in the metaphor. Fast forward to 2025-2026, and we're predicting Microsoft Teams and whatever rainbow monstrosity they're cooking up next will become the new universal symbols for "things you want to delete." The trajectory is clear: Microsoft products aren't just software anymore—they're waste management infrastructure. Give it a few more years and the entire taskbar will just be one giant trash can with different flavors of regret.

This Has To Be The Best Blue Screen Of Death I've Ever Seen In Person

Windows decided to get philosophical and just display ":(" followed by "You" on the BSOD. No cryptic error codes, no "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED", no "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"—just straight up telling you that you are the problem. The OS has achieved sentience and is now gaslighting its users. Honestly, it's the most honest error message Microsoft has ever produced. No beating around the bush with technical jargon—just a sad face and a finger pointed directly at you. At least now we know who Windows really blames for all those driver failures.

Love Living In A Timeline Where MS Paint Has A Login Screen. What Went Wrong With Microsoft?

Remember when you could just... open Paint and draw? Those were simpler times. Now Microsoft wants you to sign in with your Microsoft account just to scribble some pixels on a canvas. It's like needing a passport to use a crayon. The SpongeBob "Caveman" meme format captures the sheer absurdity perfectly—primitive brain trying to comprehend why a 30-year-old bitmap editor that literally just pushes RGB values around needs cloud integration and user authentication. Next thing you know, they'll add AI-powered brush strokes and a subscription tier for the color picker. This is peak modern Microsoft: take something that worked fine since Windows 3.1, "modernize" it by shoving Azure AD authentication down its throat, and call it innovation. Paint used to be 2MB of pure simplicity. Now it probably phones home more than Windows Telemetry.
