I hate my grass. It needs to suffer, get over exposed to the sun, and never watered.
Can’t wait to replace it with something not grass next year.
Until then, next time I need to cut it, I’m going to use a lawn mower blade supplied by the Chuck-e-Cheese kitchen to do the worst hack job ever.
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.
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.”
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.
I can’t believe people buy cheap trash that would be sold on Temu.
But here we are, people buy cheap ass trash off Temu. If China started picking through the trash we shipped them and sold it back to us on a site like Temu, something tells me people would still buy it.
I installed the app, did initial setup, then forced it to never update, shut off internet access, and disabled notifications. Still seeing the discount nearly 3 years later.
In the last 6 months:
I don’t want, or need, this add-on garbage.
MS PowerToys has a Search feature that works like Mac Finder called PowerToys Run… And it works as you’d expect it. I’ve largely started using that over the standard windows search, and the difference is hitting win + space (default: alt + space) instead of win before typing my search.
Surprise! You’ve been acquired by Amazon!
You’re right. Had to dig into my memory for this one and fact check myself.
IRC, BBS, and most forums (of the era) used PM or SP. MUCKs and a few other tools used Whisper. ICQ introduced “IM me”. Part of me remebers using the term “DM” for IRC messages, but I used IRC fairly regularly well into the 2010s.
However, the forum I spent a ton of my younger years on used “Direct Messages” which has likely polluted my memory. Since it was a technology related forum, that was probabaly a customization from the operator to distance everyone from the idea of “private” since everything was clear-text and unencrypted back then. That or I’m confusing “IM me” from the ICQ/AIM/MSN days.
Point being, nobody thought “PM” meant secure and not visible to the server operators back then. It just meant that only you, the recipient, server operators, and 1337 h4xx0rz could see your messages.
What a trip down edited memory lane that was. Thanks for fact checking me.
Umm… People have been using the phrase “Direct message (DM) me” since forever in the game and online comms world. Private message wasn’t a concept until after DMs were later encrypted. And we always knew, that if we didn’t control the servers, even encrypted, those messages were subject the server operators.
Your logic is giving me the impression that you’re younger and didn’t go through these experiences.
I just wish it was an either/or situation.
I don’t always need my lawn mower/blower/weed trimmer on batteries. I wish I could easily plug them in when doing light dut work close to the house. But then they couldn’t tie me into their battery ecosystem as easily.
There’s one feature that win11 has over win10 that I wish was there, and that’s the default layout manager is superior to windows 10’s, and less fidgety and better hotkeys than what’s offered with Power Toys. Especially vertical monitor support, which win10s layout manager never got an update for. And as a Tie-Fighter monitor setup user (4k portrait, WQHD landscape, 4k portrait) having an effective layout manager is crucial.
However, there’s 3rdParty layout managers that are even better than the win11 implementation. Butt to be able to get the default support of an effective layout manager is quite nice.
That said, that’s the only feature I really like aside from some nominal improvements/optimizations to background systems (network stack, Bluetooth management, “game mode”) and services. That’s not enough for me to transition when there’s so many other things that were done to make it a worse experince.
I’m excited to transition my personal desktop to PopOS once win10 reaches EoL. Maybe Valve will drop their latest SteamOS in time for the Win10 EoL hoping to attract all those gamers on non-TPM 2.0 supported systems that are still great gaming rigs. I know I’d at least give it a go.
This seems like a brilliant feature to roll out as they’re getting investigated by the DOJ for being a monopoly.
