I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to uninstall OneDrive & Teams from my work computer thanks to a Windows update reinstalling them. My IT director is getting frustrated by it too because he has to keep updating GP and other tools to prevent them from showing up and users inadvertently putting shit into the MS Cloud accidentally because OneDrive likes to insert itself the default documents folder.

I also prefer my start bar to be on the left hand side of my left-most monitor in vertical orientation (I run a tri-montior setup in a tie fighter configuration).

As already stated, the new right-click menu is also ass, and I keep having to fix it to get the actual fucking options I want/need without having to click a button to “show more options” from a menu that loads noticeably slower, or shift-right-click to get the intended menu.

There’s a ton of other little annoyances, like removing or relocating configuration flows with inferior tools that don’t support everything that used to be configurable. AI search in my start bar (so glad for PowerToys Run).

Windows 11 has done a great job at removing user control over their OS by forcing changes (often inferior to the old version/way) and forcing optional software installs (just wait til Recall is sitting on everybody’s machine).

Things that are nice: A better networking stack, blue tooth management, and a powerful built-in windows layout manager (Snap Layouts)

There’s a ton of work in green energy and water management.

When Harris wins, there will be even more federal funding being dumped into these sectors. However a ton of that work is either going to be labor intensive or require a specific education (or both).

Also, the software engineering field isn’t going to be replaced by AI any time soon (if ever). What will happen is that AI will become a tool of skilled engineers to increase their output efficiency, consistency, and quality.

What?

New users.

Not on lemmy?

Because it’s a Mbin UI customization.

This seems like a brilliant feature to roll out as they’re getting investigated by the DOJ for being a monopoly.

Do they really?

They made a lot of claims about their military capabilities. However their war with Ukraine has shown those to largely be lies propped up to hide that their oligarchs have emezzled the money.

I’m starting to wonder how nuclear capable they actually are these days.

I prefer hook & loop cable ties over bags. And if you attach the cable tie correctly, each cable then has its own cable manager.

This shouldn’t be our responsibility to “fix”.

It isn’t? I’ve been using the term since I picked up my first Android phone in 2010 and there were side-loaded apps everywhere. Hell, you used to have to side-load the Amazon Store app. And that was all just “download this apk and install it” Workflows.

Don’t chaff your stick.

As my grandmother used to tell me, “Your hands are dry, go lotion them up sonny.”

ITT: Witnessing somebody learning what sideloading is and isn’t as technical as they think it is.

I just wish GitHub wasn’t part of MS anymore.

I also don’t want Gitlab owned by another megacorp.

Something funded by the government but ran by a public org would be ideal.

It’s not just the data transfer. It’s also number of connections and the combined load. Scaling theese kind of things can be a nightmare for games doing an auth workflow on launch day and that’s largely just text connections over REST.

Musk was an idiot and fired everybody that could have helped prevent/minimize the impact.

Lol… The Twitter offices are even in a nicer area of the SF business district. I’ve walked around that building many times in the middle of the night and during the day and have never felt unsafe.

What a weirdo.

This is what charge backs are for FYI.

“I’m sorry, but you failed to provide a service. Either give me a full refund or I will start the charge back process with my credit card company and you’ll be forced to explain why your refund policy violates their ToS and any penalties that arise from that process.”

Elden Ring is probabaly the easiest game that From Software (FS) has made.

I however don’t like the default multi-player design of FS games and waited for the Seamless Co-op mod to be released and then picked it up to play with friends as a tough open world MP adventure.

RE: Default MP Design -

I think it’s poor design to offer incentives for players to be anonymous assholes to other players. Game Studios have spent millions of dollars investing in research and technologies to reduce game community toxicity. And if you attempt to play a FS game outside the first month of release in MP mode, prepare to have your fun ruined.

Co-pilot is amazing and terrible at the same time.

When it’s suggesting the exact line of code I expect to write, amazing. When it can build the permissions I need for a service account for a TF module I’ve written, amazing

However, it will suggest poorly formed, un-optimized code all too often.

That said, knowing when to use/not use/modify the suggested code has greatly improved my productivity and consistency.

Except that’s not what they were implying. They were implying that there’s already “race wars” going on in the world and if he really really wanted to fight in one, he doesn’t have to look too far.

If I were you, I think I would have taken the loss on not knowing the meaning of NIMBY over showing that my reading compression was lacking.

Even then, who the fuck wants a war in their neighborhood?

I knew what it meant, but the person I was responding to appeared that they didn’t. Then they replied and did know the meaning but used it wrong due to a reading comprehension fail.
