In OE hit the newsgroups button up top and select double-click on the NG you want to see added to the list and it will resubscribe to them.

I will just post this here to debunk a few things Unknown User is saying

It's one of the only times you will catch me even somewhat violating NDA.

This is a direct quote from a Microsoft Employee in regards to if we should expect a new build soon.

"Absolutely...8, 7, 6, 5.

Might be a good idea for folks to do some 'prep' to their computer this

weekend..."

You realize she said this on Friday, probably meaning we should backup all pertinant data over the weekend and be ready for release after the long holiday weekend. My guess is as early as Tuesday or as late as next week there will be a release judging from the tone of the NG's.

You could have cropped it. About 80% of the picture is useless.

only in low res....my laptop is high enough res that almost the whole thing is visible.

I barely even had to scroll lol

Yup she said that on friday.....and she has never been a tease.

also the word she used was prep.

A prep means a format as well as backing up the data.

no way would she have us waste a week.

I've known her for a long time.

I'll belive there's a new build, when it appears in my connect. I don't care what ANYONE On NW says ... cuz no one I trust on NW has said anything ...

And as for your "MS Employees" ... I have a dozen of them. Yup, all just under Bill. AND if you belive that, I have some land on the moon for sale, AND a bridge in Toronto

If you're really a tester then you should know how many employees we have access to.

That or you're one of what I call the "freeriders". They only are testers because they want bragging rights.

Those testers typically don't know anything about the system or who we talk to.

I do not post lies and I do not exaggerate.

No room for discussion on that point.

My thoughts exactly, but if someone, as has been posted, was pranking Paul D et al, then they both wouldn't know and ofcourse Paul's message to the NG's (I didn't say that) isn't gonna mention that he has been pranked....but what if it's a double bluff!!

i got this from another site (which linking is not allowed here, so i won't do it :p)

New builds are *not* the only thing we're working on for you BTs--got lots

of other testing goodness up our sleeves and I am hoping that we'll be able

to tell you about one today.

hmm

Could you please, kindly remove the post from the newsgroups. Names are supposed to be private, I believe, and the newsgroups are meant for testers only...

This is at the risk of sounding elitist, but that is NOT my intention... although admitedly it does look like it.

*cringes and waits for all the flamers*

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
