Man imagine if windows actually got decomped. Then the community could build a version that wasn't chock full of garbage fucking telemetry

I can’t wait for Artcraft to build it 100% in rust with slightly-wonky icons everywhere.

I can't wait for people to start leaking the code, layoffs are coming at the speed of light and it's just a matter of time employees start setting up deadman switches.
You want to fire me? I'm taking you all with me.
Then of course with AI, it's all getting reverse engineered.
Opensource everything!

The only reason to run Windows is the software made for Windows.

Meh tbh I'm lazy and used to Windows for my home machine. If you get rid of all the bloatware it isn't that bad.

What is the purpose of an OS? Answer that question and you tell me if a popular Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Fedora fulfills that checklist better than Windows 11.
If you don't know linux, let's just compare it to Windows 7
If you don't know the purpose of an OS, well, let's just say there's a lot of boring (to some) reading for you to do

The real iq test is not detecting that this is a joke. The second iq test is finding it funny.

Ii made me snicker knowingly.
Is there a scale that I can use to calibrate my intelligence with this information? Is a guffaw seen as cringe or evidence of greater intelligence?

I neither snickered nor guffawed, but I did think "I see what you did there." Did I pass?

I have a feeling that performance in acknowledgment of humour is in inverse proportion to assumed intelligence.
But maybe that’s just me being arrogant

I'm safe from this hack because I only use pre-AI operating systems.
Windows 95 was good enough for my grandfather, so its good enough for me.

I wonder if the calculator in Win95 loaded faster than Win11.
I feel like there were a few years between 2003-2024 where I could work at full speed without having to wait for the PC.

No doubt everyone will be able to look at the code now, find bugs, fix them and help improve the code to make it more secure!

They should use a swarm of Opus 5.5 agents working for 9 hours and burning 254.2 million output tokens to reverse engineer Linus Torvald's entire genome and make a carbon clone of him so Linux can live forever

I think the IQ test is the people who take this as truth and use it to fuel their hatred for AI.

u/Crowley-Barns 2h ago
maybe you did.
the person you’re replying to clearly knows it’s open source.
That doesn’t mean someone hasn’t tried to decompile some linux binary to see if they could.

Funny but not really an IQ test, since it's polling your knowledge of a specific fact.

It would be nice if we could do that to windows 7, create a compatibility layer with windows 11 and have an OS that updates directly through Microsoft but works like windows 7

My problem is that my default view of people on X (for clickbait/ragebait reasons) is either disingenuous or painfully ignorant.
So naturally I look at this and wonder if A) they're ragebaiting or B) painfully ignorant. Let's ignore the fact that I'm clueless and didn't immediately recognize who he is.
