Far easier to do too. I did one of each last month and there’s no question that the Windows setup experience is terrible in comparison.

Anon thinks he “won” by getting the girl, not realising that entering a relationship isn’t the finish line.

that would break iMessage support on older iOS devices that no longer are supported

Yes, that’s what “no longer supported” means.

Valve is currently a private company, which is likely why they’ve been able to avoid enshittification for so long. All we can do is hope that whoever eventually takes over when Gabe steps down also has his ideals at heart.

Ah I see. I don’t think there’s a way to do that yet.

If you’re so inclined, perhaps you could contribute to the discussion (or development) around tags on Lemmy here, since a feature like that would solve your issue.

Just block the community. It would have been faster than typing this comment.

Supporting your position through things created in your brain is called “explaining yourself”, or more specifically “explaining the rationale behind your position”.

Did you think you were being clever?

Removing calls to violence is hardly extreme censorship. Being the admins of the largest instance comes with a duty of care.

Something something slippery slope fallacy.

Yeah, it’s the Start Menu in Windows 11 (though I think the same kind of thing will happen on Windows 10 too)

Because it’s more convenient than any other option available. Every time I’ve used it before it’s worked.

That looks very very similar to PowerToys Run, I wonder if they’re related?

Calc.exe is a click or hotkey away.

The Start Menu is already there, no hotkey setup required. Plus, I can close it with a single key too. It’s simply more convenient.

I did just try this again on my work laptop and it searched correctly. But the 2nd “search the web” suggestion still added a 0. Maybe I had searched that by accident by hitting enter after typing it (as it still opens Edge/Bing annoyingly).

I have it installed already, and I’d switch to using it in a heartbeat if it could replace the Start Menu in a way that didn’t break things. I often open the Start Menu purely to show the taskbar over fullscreen games in order to switch to something else. If Run did that (and if binding it to the Windows key didn’t break other shortcuts), it would be perfect for me.

Edit: I stand corrected. It appears that Run does sometimes show the taskbar, but it seems inconsistent.

I thought it was clear: they’re implying JS is simpler/faster to write and deploy because transpilation is necessary when using TS (unless you use a modern runtime).

Wrong race that would upset my parents

Your parents aren’t going to date your partner, so their opinions on her race mean absolutely nothing. It’s like going to a restaurant with a friend and they tell you you can’t order salmon because they don’t like it. It’s not their food, so what they say doesn’t matter since they’re not eating it.

Feeling that my interest in the other person is not genuine and that I only see her as a sexual object

This felt a little too real to read. I know that feeling, and it’s not nice. I got no advice here, just letting you know you’re not alone in feeling it.

I have this dreadful feeling that I missed out on something important in life

The best part about life is that you get to define what’s important to you. Some people may find meaning in having a family, but it’s not the only objective way of finding meaning/purpose. You could find joy in creating things, exploring the world, even just working. There’s no secret formula or shortcut to finding it, and there’s definitely no hard rules about what it can be. I hope this helps you feel better.

I got my last 3 phones used, all were at a great discount, and all lasted about as long as you’d expect a new phone to.

I’ll continue buying used until new prices become reasonable again, and even then I will still probably buy used because it’s cheaper and helps combat ewaste (if only a little).

Fuck you, well done.

I think it’s a bug. I tried watching something a few hours ago and it also wouldn’t start. There’s a bunch of CORS errors in the console. It also won’t play on my phone either. I’m using Firefox on both, so it’s kind ironic that the “privacy-respecting” frontend won’t work on the (relatively) more privacy-respecting browser.

e2e encryption makes it difficult to provide fully cross-platform messaging experience

Why?
I can easily encrypt a message on my x86_64 Windows desktop, send it to my x86_64 Linux laptop, and also my ARM64 Android phone, and be able to decrypt it perfectly.

If I can do it then a development team can too.
