Why do you still hate Windows?
  • I'm the kind of user that cares about function over form, so everything in Windows 11 just annoyed me. Mainly because it was just changes in design that required me to reorient and to learn to use again with no good reason.
    I still use Windows at work just because our whole dev stack is on Windows. And every new design change just gets in my way. An OS should enable me do the things that I need and want, it should move out of my way. Sure I've added some hacks to restore the functionality I was used to. But the fact that I need to fight the OS to bring back context menus annoys me to no end.

    Also, as a dev, I find many things easier done on Linux that Windows, mainly because it just has a better CLI support. It's not as bad now with Windows terminal, winget and other improvements (dotnet having a proper CLI interface), however I still mostly use git-bash for common stuff like searching the file system. Not to mention that for something like docker I basically just need WSL.

  • Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win
  • How is IAs approach much different to that of a regular library?

    True, they were digitising physical books and lending copies. But this is not much different from how a regular library works (assuming controlled digital lending, yeah I heard aboud Covid period 😕).

    I'm not an expert on American law (know nothing about it), but reading the articles and comments I thing there's an argument to be made for IA functioning as a library.

  • OneNote alternative to make a knowledge base
  • Yeah, that. I have no need for mobile syncing, but I believe loqseq provided syncing works via git

  • OneNote alternative to make a knowledge base
  • I use logseq for work notes and Obsidian for personal. Obsidian is more markdown which I like for my loose notes. logseq, on the other hand, is more focused on productivity and it's fully opensource. Obsidian is only free for personal use, however their notes being closer to standart markdown means that they could be openned with any text editor and be just as functional.

    Syncing between computers is easy – it's just a git repo. Dealing with mobile is tricier but I never needed it so can't comment much.

  • Stare at it.
  • common mistake, the t is actually silent

  • Not cool
  • We do add various cheeses to our pasta and it tastes good. It's usually just a quick and easy meal but it's nothing special.

    Not sure how mac and cheese (not the box stuff) could be much different. Although, I've never had a meal that would be specifically called mac and cheese.

  • Amer(ule)ica
  • 5th of June or June 5th, both are valid. However numeric date format has little to do with how it's said. yyyy-MM-dd (and seperator variants) has the benefit of being orderable and indexable chronologically.

  • Do we need to create increasingly more children for a stable economy?
  • The economic system is broken. It incentivises infinite growth in a finite environment. That's just not sustainable and will backfire in one way or another.

    What we need as a civilization is a shift in economic values that would push for a more sustainable model. That shift can be seen, but, in my (expert /s) opinion, it's too little and too late to completely avoid a disaster.

  • Google rolls back reCaptcha update to fix Firefox issues
  • I develop and test only on firefox

  • If you were to create a Fediverse server, with frontend being plan simple HTML only, what programming language and stack would you choose?
  • Maybe Go, haven't messed with it at all and it looks interesting enough to try. Other than that I could do C#, since that's where I have most experience. Maybe node.js if I would want to suffer a bit.

  • Ahh… sea roaches, quite good in a salad

  • What do you think will happen if we don't pass the aid for Ukraine?
  • He also said there's no war just a special military operation, but here we are.

  • What do you think will happen if we don't pass the aid for Ukraine?
  • WW3, eventually. The regime won't stop. The ambition is there to rebuild the USSR. That would mean starting a conflict with NATO and, if I'm lucky, NATO will actually involve.

  • What would you rather eat a poop flavored chocolate, or chocolate flavored poop?

    If one was indistinguishable from the other: taste, scent, texture, temperature, etc. You can't tell apart the real thing from your choice, but you know 100% what you are eating.

    What would you choose and why?
