Fix the bug and make no mistake

The user has asked me to fix his shitty code and to ā€œmake no mistakeā€ā€¦ is he stupid?

Thinkingā€¦

Thinking harderā€¦

On second review his code is garbage slop, should I search the internet and plagiarise ZAĶ Ģ”ĶŠĶLGĪŒ ISĶ®Ģ‚ TOĶ…Ķ‡Ģ¹ĢŗʝĢ“Č³Ģ³ THĢ˜EĶ„Ģ‰Ķ– Ķ PĢÆĶĢ­OĢšā€‹NĢYĢ” HĶØĶŠĢ½Ģ…Ģ¾ĢŽĢ”ĢøĢŖĢÆEĢ¾Ķ›ĶŖĶ„Ģ€ĢĢ§Ķ˜Ģ¬Ģ© Ķ§Ģ¾Ķ¬Ģ§Ģ¶ĢØĢ±Ģ¹Ģ­ĢÆCĶ­ĢĶ„Ķ®ĶŸĢ·Ģ™Ģ²ĢĶ–OĶ®ĶĢ®ĢŖĢĶMĶŠĢ’ĢšĶŖĶ©Ķ¬ĢšĶœĢ²Ģ–EĢ‘Ķ©ĶŒĶĢ“ĢŸĢŸĶ™ĢžSĶÆĢæĢ”ĢØĶ€Ģ„Ķ…Ģ«ĶŽĢ­

v0.419 Release Notes

AI, AI, AI! Weā€™ve heard you. There are now 26 new sparkle buttons! Can you find them all?

Release notes dialog now has an embedded WSL 1.0 terminal emulator. Itā€™s broken (issue: #25293).

Reduced RAM usage when typing on the home row.

Keystrokes are now logged in the correct Slack channel (fixes #7 and #933 through #980).

Ahhhhh!

Yeah so umā€¦ have you noticed that all modern software is teetering on the enshitty cliff? Everything in my dock is an Electron-ified enshittybomb one update from disaster. There used to be alternatives. Now those suck too.

I donā€™t want to collaborate. How about you leave me alone and Iā€™ll email you the file when Iā€™m finished? Here, take a hard copy and jog on. You want to comment? I donā€™t remember asking for an opinion. Oh fantastic, now the computer thinks itā€™s people! Iā€™ve got dialogs and popovers all up in my face yammering about agentic bollocks. Mystery icons everywhere. Waitā€¦ did they move my cheese? Ahhhhh!

Itā€™s all your fault! I sure as heck didnā€™t ask for it. Remember when they made entire video games on a 32 KB floppy disk? Those were real developers.

v1 Release Notes: done.

Can you stop adding new ā€œfeaturesā€, please? You had one good idea. Finish it already? Now youā€™ve got ten thousand GitHub issues. Well done.

I used to enjoy making things on a computer :(
