> but the feedback ended up being AI-generated slop...

Wow yeah the feedback is actually useless ai generated slop. Has that happened before?


Something similar happened with another API recently. https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/1198#issueco...

Every time I do report these kinds of bugs it's clear to me they clearly do not look at them lol. The Feedback site still thinks windows 10 is the latest windows version and doesn't even display the latest ios version.

It's unknowable if they look or not consistently across all groups and departments because of their habit of zero feedback/response. I assume they don't look anymore because of assumed overwhelming backlog and lower standards than the past.

Perhaps on their side, AI might be able to consolidate, triage, and perhaps even propose fixes far more scalably than even a huge department of customer support-oriented coders.


I reported a bug in Apple Music on windows where it wouldn't update the audio output until you restarted it. They did a change in a few weeks where they made it update the audio output. Probably team dependent, but I was really amazed by how quick they changed it.

They are looked at.

Source: I work for Apple.

there is no verification happening though


There is in New York, Brazil, and probably other places too. Attestation is a foot in the door and will become verification when it is shown to be ineffective. And unless the law is defeated, it will provide precedent for further legislative intrusion into personal computing.


First they have to build infrastructure for the future mandatory KYC. So, age field comes first, then comes new Poettering startup to deny you modifications of your Linux, and finally you are not allowed to use a computer unless you present your ID.


Because systemd isn’t an operating system. It’s just providing a mechanism for the OS to store/lookup the user’s birthday. It’s up to individual distros to do the verification (should the law stand and OS vendors choose to comply)


True but I'm very much opposed to building the underpinnings for this stuff. If you build it they will use it.


Besides, my OS has no business knowing my date of birth whatsoever. All it should know is the account name I gave it which of course doesn't have to match my real name.


It boggles the mind how so eagerly open source projects are trying to pave the way for these laws.


this is not attestation though? it's just parental controls, no?


what control panel is perfect for literally every type of project and has no edge cases


there is PEP 671 for that, which introduces extra syntax for the behavior you want. people rely on the current behavior so you can't really change it


I've only so far seen the re9 comparisons and imo it's awful there. lots of colored light transfer is suddenly gone, post processing effects like bloom on street lights is also gone and in general it just looks flat to me now


I assume this is pretty rare, but ty sometimes finds real issues that are actually allowed by the spec, like:

  def foo(a: float) -> str:
    return a.hex()

  foo(false)
is correct according to PEP 484 (when an argument is annotated as having type float, an argument of type int is acceptable) but this will lead to a runtime error. mypy sees no type error here, but ty does.


finding out who is a child online doesn't seem difficult at all to me, and i also doubt groomers big issue online is not finding children.


both of you used gmail as an example to make opposing arguments


I'm confused about that. I was pretty sure that Google's policy was that, while they'll delete inactive accounts, the addresses don't become available for use. I thought those addresses were basically dead.

But at least one poster says they're reusing addresses.


Yes, the other person is mistaken, Google does not repurpose accounts.
