This is great news.

However highlighting the “enormous amount of effort” came off as immflamatory as a headline. Now to prove to them that we appreciate the effort they put into this.

I too grew up in the in that era. But grew up in the Detroit area where nearly everybody knew something about cars due to how many people worked in the auto industry and how the knowledge was prevelant and shared amongst friends and peers. Auto shops were still a thing, but largely used for jobs nobody wanted to do, didn’t have access to the tools, or didn’t have the time to invest

I’m glad my employer said, “you’ve been working hard. I comped you a day so you can rest and recover.”, the last time I wasnt feeling well (allergies got the best of me and I was a mess). Even though I’ve accrued nearly 2-weeks of sick time at this point.

I’m fortunate that I don’t work for a shitty company anymore.

Sealion infestations are problematic. Be sure to call your local exterminator promptly whenever you encounter one.

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)

It was only a kiss…

Not on lemmy?

Because it’s a Mbin UI customization.

Off-topic comment.

I appreciate the misuse of isle instead of aisle. The mental imagery of navigating around stores compromised of isles makes me want to go shopping so I can go on an island hopping adventure looking for booty to haul back to my kingdom.

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

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

Don’t chaff your stick.

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

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.

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.
