Looking Ahead to 2026

As I reflect on the past year and look toward the one ahead, there’s no question 2026 will be a pivotal year for AI. Yes, another one. But this moment feels different in a few notable ways.

      right? SOOO many problems are gone. shit I did t even know was a problem, was illuminated as a windows problem when I changed to Linux

      I’m getting old, lose the mouse cursor. I shake the mouse, wow, the cursor is huge. I can see where it is and keep working. dumb crap like that but honestly it’s user features that are useful… not bloated trash

      also LOVING pulse audio and how easy I can manipulate everything. pissed off my discord friends by looping REPO (game) audio, back into REPO (game). they were all super confused.

      I plug in a monitor with HDMI… is suddenly doesn’t become my main speaker for some dumb reason… or the pa4 controller. that’s not my microphone/speaker Microsoft… stop trying to think for me. useless they are

          yeah I’ve heard nonstop horrid things about it. but oipewire with qwgraph. amazing. I can’t stop tinkering. I honestly feel like I have more control over my audio.

          I am using qwgraph which is making it super easy since it’s drag/drop from pipes to programs etc.

          not my Audio, just an example of qwgraph

          It does for sure have issues, but a quick reload and it’s back to normal. usually won’t auto load my settings so I have to manually load it.

    I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed,

    We now have a clearer sense of where the tech is headed

    Do we?

    capability is outpacing our current ability

    JFC you are so high on your own supply.

    A new concept that evolves “bicycles for the mind” such that we always think of AI as a scaffolding for human potential vs a substitute

    So you want your shitty tech to be the scaffolding that underlies all human thought?

    Fucking tech industry has come to assume that all disruption is innovation and it’s not. It’s just disruption. Go stuff yourselves.

      They would love if they can get you hooked on a monthly subscription for human thought

    They’re making windows dumper.

    I use windows 11 at work and today 2 issues happened within 5 minutes that I’ve never seen before.

    First, I took a screenshot with their app snap or whatever it was called and when I saved the file it didn’t write the data 0 kb. Within 5 minutes I tried to copy 3 cells from one excel file to another and an error occurred with the clipboard!! even though it did copy the freaking 3 cells.

    I switched to linux 2 weeks ago and I cannot be happier!
