Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.

That…makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.

I believe it’s a fantasy/for funsies mock-up of what the gaming store/launcher application Steam maybe could have looked like if it was done in a style similar to Windows 7’s styling and other computer applications and websites during that era. Looks like maybe MySpace and Windows Live Messenger may have been some inspiration

I hope that helps. I may be leaving stuff out or wording things oddly since I’m pretty brain foggy due to health issues, but no one had answered ya (that I can see) and I wanted to try to help ya out 😅

Apparently so. It’s supposed to come out in the summer of 2026. Here’s an article about it. I just learned of it from this post, too.

Please feel free! I’m glad you liked it enough to steal it and comment saying so. :) That made me smile!

Mine, too!

Holy cow, that’s neat as hell! Thanks for sharing!

Yay! :D That’s a great usage of it, good call!

Is that title the answer to the CharDee MacDennis trivia question, “Columbus is asshole. Why Charlie hate?” I hope so, because that’s what it made me think of

Poor guy. My heart breaks for him. I hope people are understanding, compassionate, empathetic, and aren’t hateful and harrassing towards him about it, but, realistically… they likely will be hateful and harrass the poor dude, because some people are just sucky, entitled, and rude little jackasses (and I hate it so much and I don’t understand why people behave this way!) I hope he can find a way to handle it all okay. :(

How cute and fun! I love it. Thank you for the screenshot and explanation!

I’m guessing practice things until you do

Hey now. There’s no need to be a shitty, ableist asshole.

Suddenly I feel myself swooning and am very attracted to you

(Commenting in hopes it helps me remember to read these and check into it later when I have more time 😅)

That’s a really great article, thank you for the link! That was informative and educational and I am a fan.

It’s super effective!
