I've been coding on Windows and I have to say that it has been a bit painful at times to code specific functionality cuz the libraries are either none existing or implanting using the API by hand is just a pain, while on Linux it is pretty straightforward.
Also, there are several things I've run into with Windows that makes me go o_O, or it is just clunky since my Linux setup doesn't have all the extra garbage. The bloat has gotten worse on Windows 11 and IDK how. It is so bad that the last OVA Vbox image I downloaded to run in a VM was unusable. It was by default configured to use 8 GB of ram, would crash. Barely run, and functions were either glitchy or just unusable.
I'm actually disappointed in the direction Microsoft has gone with Windows.
I once bought a router to use for my internet when I moved into my new house just to find out that it "wasn't compatible" with Verizon's service. I still have it (because I'm terrible about returning things). Is there any point in keeping it? Is there anything fun or interesting that I could do with it?
You could probably turn it into an extended access point or something like that. You could also set it up to be used in like let's say a lab or something like that. If possible, check what router it is and see if you can put OpenWrt or something like that on it.
If not, collecting dust in a box isn't a bad idea either, just if you decide to take it out again to clean it thoroughly.
Let me see if I have this straight -- I'm getting a bit of a headache.
If you make a new link, article, or photo {on kbin} it will become a thread in a magazine which you must choose. Replies to that thread are comments and go to everyone following that (thread? magazine?)
If you make a new post it will become a non-threaded {untitled} microblog entry in a magazine which you must choose. Replies to that microblog post will be replies and go to everyone mentioned by username.
If the latter is true, I wonder why there isn't a hidden "microblog" magazine for microblog entries. Why are they forced to belong to a certain magazine? If the user isn't subbed to any mags what shows up in the "select a magazine" dropdown?
{Edited to add missing words and this: the interface said "thread created successfully" (or similar) and calls this a thread in the right sidebar. At that point I legit couldn't remember if I made it as a post or article. It appeared under microblog. The profile overview shows it as a post and not a thread. }
If you want to create a new thread you have to go up to the + sign at the top right and select what you want to add. A bit confusing, but shouldn't in theory take that much trouble once we all get the hang of this.
