This notification in the #Windows start menu is to get me to sign in so they can serve ads all over the OS, right? No thanks. #Microsoft#enshittification
Dla osób, które mają trochę starszy PESEL (starszy, niż 2000 rok), to pewnie ucieszy ta nowina :). #Kodźródłowy#Winamp będzie udostępniony 24 września 2024 :)
It's insane thinking about how #iPhone has nailed touch scrolling right out of the bat from the first phone, and #Android phones still have not figured out how to do it right. Not just on touchscreens but on trackpads too, only #Apple has managed making something as "simple" as touch scrolling as intuitive, magical, and true to life (instant response, the exact amount of weight and inertia as you'd expect from what you just did with your finger) SYSTEM WIDE (and not app-dependent) while #Windows laptops still makes you feel like you're better off with a mouse. I use an Apple Magic Trackpad on my #Linux PC and it feels great and was one of the best investments I've made, but it will never be as good as it'd be on #macOS and that feels like a crime. Since no one has figured it out, I unjokingly wish the EU or CCP make it compulsory for Apple to teach everyone else in the industry how to implement this seemingly simple thing, so right.
Spent the day installing #Mint#XFce to an old Acer #laptop of my sister in law's brother (I've converted everyone to #Linux in the family). Acer's firmware was very buggy, so it took tricks to load grub.
Installed them a few apps, and they will be super happy with their new (old) laptop. Previously, #Windows 10 was dying on that laptop, it was that slow, as it was swapping furiously! Mint loaded in about 1 minute, which is good (considering the very slow hdd).
After dealing with pre-installed malware on this mini-PC, I'm FINALLY done reviewing the hardware! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/459
"Besides the malware" does an Intel Core i9 make sense in a system like this?
How can you fail to love a city which has decorations like this not on a castle, or a grand mansion or its town hall, but on a tenement building? This is part of W.M. Whyte's 1905 Scots Baronial tenement on Broomhill Drive in Glasgow.
#Microsoft has opened access for Russian users to updates for #Windows and #Office, the #Russoft association told Izvestia. For example, Windows 11 23H2 is downloaded again on computers without a VPN, the situation is similar with Office. Previously, such updates could not be installed on computers from Russian IP.
In addition, Microsoft did not block Russian IT companies from accessing the software, although it promised to do so after March 20.
J'avais oublié qu'avec Windows, si tu déplaces/supprimes l'image que tu as utilisée pour ton fond d'écran, alors ton fond d'écran disparait. 🤡 #Windows
Used my red yarn to make this blobcat prototype before trying with my yellow, I'm really new to crochet this is only my second finished project and first time using a flat circle which came out really nice.
This is basically a flat circle with walls which I just sort of randomly reduced the stitching when it felt right. I mostly guessed with the ears by following a guide for making and attaching doll arms, then doing thar way shorter and putting it on the head.
The mouth was really hard, I didn't realise for Surface Crochet you need access to the underside and I'd already sealed the top and didn't want to re-open it so I sowed some thread in a general shape it came out OK.
I also didn't put enough stuffing inside so it doesn't feel as good to squish as it could, I'll add way more next time.
Overall, very enjoyable took me about a week to learn how to do the circle and then three to four days of intense crocheting once I got the hang of that.
I'd recommend crochet over #linux permissions or #Windows Defender any day.
Results on my #survey about trackpad tap to click.
114 responded.
65% enable tap to click and love it!
29% disable tap to click.
6% had tap to click enabled and hate it!
So about two thirds prefer tap to click.
Personally I would argue that it should be off by default, but I belong to the last group. I was finding that I was having a lot of issues with my trackpad and most went away when I changed the setting. I still have an issue at times that clicking sometimes leads to right clicking.
I have been using trackpoints for years, so I guess I am rather used to an experience with clear button clicks.
I can't get over how insufferable Windows 11 is for creating things. Win11 stops taking pen input--not freeze. Pen input just stops, and this is with an official Microsoft pen. Drawing art in Krita is a game of red-light-green-light.
Darkradiant doesn't update the 3D window. No lighting preview. :/
Je suis vraiment à ça 🤏 d'installer un dual boot Linux sur mon PC principal (gaming) parce que ça fait beaucoup trop longtemps que j'ai pas utilisé un Linux Desktop (WSL pour dev et Linux server sur les serveurs que j'administre)
J'ai entendu dire que le gaming fonctionnait vachement mieux depuis quelques années grâce à Proton et autres. Je suis curieux.
Après j'ai tout qui fonctionne très bien sur mon Windows, donc j'ai peur de juste me remettre une contrainte en plus alors que tout va bien.
Un gran numero de años usando la #basura#windows y hasta ahora veo que se pueden desactivar sus innecesarios, inutiles y vacios efectos visuales. Eso mejora el rendimiento...
I just took delivery of a laptop that came with #Windows 11.
After going through setup I felt abused and violated.
Then, doing anything on this top of the range machine was slow, and despite my answering 'privacy' to every option, it appears that every click in Edge is being sent back to Microsoft, slowing the fastest machine I've ever used.
Having installed Ubuntu 24 side by side makes this even more apparent. (I still want #Windows11 for testing).
