tbf to this thread, wayland wasn’t really viable until 2023.

I made an existing comment on this that people didn’t like because I pointed out that most of Wayland’s “modern upgrades” like VRR, HDR, etc were unimplemented or unfinished for years. Even HDR is still “beta” on KDE iirc.

People also like to pretend the triple buffer wasn’t a can of worms for many users for a very long time (and still is on low power devices).

People talking about history without mentioning the laziest answer is to use an alias, which bash usually has ll = la -la or my personal preference is ll = ls -lAh (list + Everything except . and .. + human readable file size)

If lemmy had a shared tag system, and easier way would be for automod to tag new users and auto delete posts from users that delete themselves.

That way everyone would know its a new user posting and could just choose to take the post with skepticism.

why/how do these guys design a product this way

Its just one of many business applications that MSFT provides as you get vendor locked into the Windows platform.

Technically it was the successor to skype for business, and skype itself was its own product that was acquired by MSFT.

It doesn’t matter how crappy it is because MSFT can sell it to you as part of a complete package with stuff like Azure, M365, etc, and you would find it annoying to pay extra for a better platform like Slack.

Does it mean Microsoft can keep running any app which necessarily doesn’t appear on my task manager?

iirc it shouldn’t be hidden in task manager but it might be easier to use process explorer from sysinternals: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

Haven’t touched hot garbage windows in a long time so I don’t remember if teams has a non obvious process that runs in the background.

Use micro after everyone makes fun of you for using nano

Which forum lol?

That’s because that game requires mad skills with the stylus lol. It required ridiculous precision to make your shots, so most of us would resort to spamming dunks.

But I had one friend who was actually good with shooting and could destroy anyone in multiplayer and was the only one who unlocked every character.

The 4 player multiplayer was also fun because it was just item spamming with no hoops so you didn’t have to worry about shooting, passing, etc.

SHAAAAUN!!!

If you want to ruin a concert’s day, change the thermostat a few clicks lol.

Funny thing is you can actually conduct pretty well with just your hand.

Also a good conductor is usually an astoundingly good player of multiple instruments themselves.

It’s kind of like how football (soccer) team managers are retired players that can still play better than the entire stadium wearing loafers and a suit.

“INFIDEL! Yet again THE CALIPH must show you how to FIGHT”

Compiz and Wayfire:

It would be hilarious if they reuse X11’s original server model and just start trying to stream draw events to and from the cloud.

“Meh, I’ll upgrade the server RAM when I need it, zswap is working fine” <- clueless idiot from last year

Infamously hated student dean at an otherwise pretty normal HS was known for sitting in her office and watching students on the security cameras so she could dole out punishment for incredibly minor stuff like being late to class, running in the halls, and covering your face (was seen as an attempt to thwart the cameras or security) etc.

However, she was visibly in a more angry mood when on physical rotation like watching the Cafeteria during lunch, so people would avoid any interaction with her like the plague.

Anyways, one day during a very cold winter lunch one of my friends entered into the cafeteria from outside with his hood up, hands in pockets, and visibly covered in snow from walking outside. Rest of our friend group was already sitting at our usual table as he’s rolling up. Student dean has already clocked him and within maybe 10 seconds of entering the building, is asked to remove his hood.

Buddy replies with “oh sorry, I was cold”

We watched as the dean proceeded to tear into him for “talking back” and “insubordination” before he got hauled off to the main office and was given a weeks worth of after school detention.

Funniest thing was we were warned about the atrocious Dean by the previous year’s Valedictorian. No one liked her.

Is this sarcasm about git/svn or are you serious?

The window snapping introduced in vista/7 and the old start menu from vista/7.

Actually I might need to reduce that percentage lmao

Windows registry is an absolute horror show even without the GUI lmao.

At least on linux you will usually be greeted by a nice integrated GTK or Qt layout.

Windows is 40% archaic stuff from the 90s, 40% tirefire PWA/electron apps, and 20% of normal design that keeps them barely ahead of OSX.

Default zsh is just bash, you need to add all the fancy plugins to get it to do cool stuff

fish is for people who don’t want to spend the time setting it all up and to just get a shell that has most of the QoL fetaures builtin.
