I hope somebody gets fired for that one

changed from what to what, and where?
<Eddi|zuHause>
explain it to a person who doesn't have windows, and even if they had, they don't have it in english
<Althego>
did they change it to app? :)
<Althego>
dont trust any os that has apps :)
<SporkWitch>
sandbox: what happened? lol
<SporkWitch>
Althego: Windows has had "apps" for a while now, via Windows Store. Lots pre-installed, some can't be removed easily, and it also has a habit of installing things randomly by MSFT (lots of shovelware games have a habit of reappearing after removing, despite having never manually installed them)
<SporkWitch>
there are even locked down versions of Windows that ONLY allow installs via the Windows Store, total walled garden like iOS
<Althego>
must be the wet dream of all ocmapnies
<Althego>
valled garden with subscription
<Althego>
you will own nothing and you will like it
<Althego>
this is the future we already live in
<SporkWitch>
why do you think SaaS and cloud are pushed so hard? "You will own nothing and you will be happy" - The WEF, literally
<SporkWitch>
they also posted a new devchat showing off the tech tree and some of the science parts
<Althego>
still rockets before wheels?
<SporkWitch>
didn't notice, but it _is_ a space-focused game. Also still capsules before probes. They explain their reasoning in the dev chat and I can't really dispute it. Less realistic, but fits the goals of education, being an informal self-paced tutorial, and getting that emotional investment that only kerbals provide.
<sandbox>
they changed it in Settings>Apps & Features>Help from the web...
<SporkWitch>
hasn't it said "apps and features" for quite a few years now?
<sandbox>
from "Find Apps and Programs installed in Windows" to "Finding App or Programme installed in Windows"
<sandbox>
and "Repair apps and programs" to "Repairing appas and programmes"
<sandbox>
apps*
<SporkWitch>
did you switch it to a commonwealth english system locale? Because programme is correct spelling in commonwealth english

it's only American English that went through the Great Vowel Purge
<sandbox>
it's always been Program for all computer terms
<Althego>
probably only in the usa
<Althego>
but since most computer things originated from there program is probably the common form
<sandbox>
I think they also changed Windows Insider Program to Programme, but that one is technically correct
<SporkWitch>
slightly suspect source, as they have a lot of politicized language suggestions / "corrections" in their product, but this appears accurate and aligns with how most stuff ends up working out, thanks to the US being THE dominant play in the early development of the digital computer. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/program-programme/

whoever changed it probably saw the other ones and changed them too
<SporkWitch>
but yeah, basically programme is correct in commonwealth countries, especially the UK itself, tough in computer contexts the American spelling is apparently more common.
<SporkWitch>
Which makes sense
<SporkWitch>

I wish I knew where they store the text strings
<sandbox>
I could uninstall the update, but meh
<sandbox>
the settings and control panel screens are such a mess of inconsistencies these days
<Althego>
yes all the way back from what, xp times?
<Althego>
or even older?
<SporkWitch>
I think it was 8 that introduced the "modern" settings window and started trying to phase out the actual Control Panel, but because it's terrible and much worse than Control Panel, they've not been able to fully remove the Control Panel.
<sandbox>
yeah
<SporkWitch>
Basically, they were seeing the success of Apple's walled garden and wanted to lock windows down more and dumb it down (hence Windows S-Mode, the restricted mode I mentioned earlier)
<SporkWitch>

as I was saying, the settings screens are awful
<sandbox>
you can have different languages for Region, Language, and Speech
<sandbox>
and it's all spread around instead of being the same place
<sandbox>
I am never going to speak to my computer
<sandbox>
Language can have a different language for "Windows display", "Apps and websites", "Regional format", "Keyboard", and "Speech"
<sandbox>
and you can bet that at least one of them will be wrong

sandbox: There's also a secret underlying language the install is actually "in" - when we did Win11 upgrades at the old work we had to have an en_UK stick and an en_US stick because that was easier than the little dance that changes the underlying setting over

secret language
