Something is fundamentally broken with Microsoft Copilot. Over the last two months, it’s gone from a sometimes helpful assistant to a confident hallucinator. I’m not talking about niche academic logic—I’m talking about basic, "first-page-of-Google" facts. I decided to test it with something harmless: Diablo 2 character builds. The results were a complete disaster that suggests a major reliability collapse. 🧵

I’m putting this together as a thread because every time Xbox announces something, the timeline fills with doomposting and wild speculation. As someone who actually uses the console daily, I miss real, practical news.
So here are a few cool things I’ve personally noticed on Xbox over the last months — small things, but genuinely nice improvements.
#Xbox #Gaming
So, #Sony has decided not to release #PlayStation games for the #Steam Machine or the next #Xbox console... This decision could go either way.
It looks like the team that makes adverts for Amazon (Ring and Alexa+) wants to tell us something important.
Haaland should also be sent off (either a straight red or a second yellow). #lfc

Jellyfin is great on Android, but the Apple TV app is pretty poor.
Koel is a paid app for iOS. You can use Navidrome as a server and any player that supports Subsonic.
Yes, the U.S. provides intelligence and has superior satellite coverage — but trust in that information has eroded, especially in cases like the situation around #Greenland.

Most people resist big changes, but at this point it makes little sense to stay locked into #NATO as it currently functions. An alliance doesn’t work when one of the key members behaves like a hostile actor. NATO’s imbalance is obvious: U.S. generals hold a disproportionately large share of leadership influence compared to the financial contribution the U.S. actually makes.

I understand that the current situation in the world is pretty bad. Some people already live in countries where #rightwing populists are in power; others live in countries where right-wing populists poll around 30–40%. But I should mention that currently, 80% of content on #Mastodon is #ragebait or pretty #toxic. To be honest, it's not much different to what #CharlieKirk did, but in the opposite direction.
"Scientists no Longer Find #Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to #Bluesky"
So, a 'free speech absolutist' who constantly tries to add bias to his AI to make it avoid facts cannot really create a space where scientists can exchange ideas. I'm wondering why.

I can see two problems with this statement:
1) The other side thinks that 'political violence is justified'.
2) However, many conservatives would agree with the sentiment that "it has no place in a democracy". Their solution will be to get rid of democracy.

After the November 2024 election, I read the opinions of several Russian opposition leaders and journalists. They said things like, 'Let's give him a chance', 'Both choices were terrible', and 'He will be restricted by Congress'. It seems they had slightly over-inflated expectations, which is strange given that they lived in Russia in the 2000s and witnessed everything first-hand.

I finished #SouthOfMidnight, which had a pretty interesting story, original music, and a very authentic atmosphere. It's not a big surprise for me as I like #Contrast, so I knew what to expect from #CompulsionGames but It is clear that legacy gaming media are out of touch with reality.

So, I made it through the four-hour demo of the #Indie #Games #Showcase. Before I started the video, I thought, "What could be interesting here? I've already seen everything", but I ended up adding 30 more games to my #Steam wishlist.

Contrary to popular opinion, I don't believe #Trump is a 'Russian asset', but #Russia has certainly studied him well. They know that if his first attempt fails, he won't persist — he just loses interest. And they exploit this.
