He/Him - Beer and banter are my bread and butter. Fairly standard something year old bald chap from Manchester, UK, trying to be pleasant and positive.
That output picture was slop, pure and simple. Were it the work of an actual graphic designer/editor and I were their manager, I would've used it as evidence against them in their end of year review.

So don't blame me or others for labeling the output of the products accurately!

Conceptually, the ask of "photoshop this guy in at the end of this table" is not a big one. Might be a bit beyond the average user to do manually, sure.

But if Nadella wants us to stop labelling AI outputs as slop then perhaps his company's flagship AI product should *stop doing that*

This doesn't include other errors like the windows in the street outside becoming geometrically impossible, the vaseline style smearing of the tablecloth and a thousand other imperfections.

Made for a great spot the difference task between that and the original, I suppose.

● I gained a massive overbite
● My left arm turned into some sort of John Carpenter's The Thing-esque tentacled monstrostity
● One colleague was changed to look like Sloth from the Goonies with a beard
● One colleague's head shrank by around a third
● Two female colleagues became copies of a man(?)

In the meantime I'm off to a NYE party so here's a fair representation of the way I plan to see in 2026

Goals:

- Get more certifications in Power Platform
- Pass my probation at my new role and (hopefully) get back on pay parity with my old job
- Finish building Spectrum (the data analysis tool) and sell it
- Move to a new house
- Go up some weight classes at the gym
- Read some fine ass books

I will gladly take any text based tutorials that are out there if anyone knows of some

Until then, I'll keep at it

Also why does WinUI3 not include a built in attribute for the MainWindow tag to set a minimum application width/height?

Why do I have to build that in separately?

It's 2025 (for a while longer anyway) for crying out loud

Maybe it's my poor luck in searching here but it feels like there is *nothing* beyond Microsoft's basic ass tutorials that do things like tell you how to write files one way and then later tell you a better, best practice way

Why

Why not show me the best way *first*

The future is here, or it would be if it adhered to the timetable

And yet if I worked in that factory I'd still have an easier and more reliable commute than taking the train into Manchester to my office 🫤
