Windows is a fine operating system. The NT kernel is pretty good, all things considered, and the design and UX of XP, Vista, and 7 were overall pretty peak. The main problem with Windows is and always has been Microsoft. Expose theme 4 lyfe.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•‘A maelstrom of his own making’: how Ed Sheeran’s tour turned into a full-blown culture warEnglish
0·14 days agoBecause most people do not follow the news very closely. They learn enough to form an opinion, often against their will, and then try their hardest to pay attention to things that don’t torpedo their mental health.
I don’t have a source to point at but I think the first trump admin, followed by covid, broke people. There is no good news and no clear action to take to make the bad news stop. So people tune out. Some news slips through with their FYP or whatever but even then what they get is predigested and filtered so that the emotion hits hard and goes away fast. The most popular form of media is designed not to inform, so people are not informed.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I getting more and more enraged seeing self proclaimed leftists resorting to ghastly Gen AI to bastardise their rather humorous ideas.English
0·16 days agoTbh many people don’t use PCs at all, and the advent of cheap generative ai for image manipulation makes this kind of creative task more accessible to those people. I hate it. I would like to put the touch screen genie back in the bottle. But it is too late.

True. Without humor a person goes blind.

I’m gonna echo a sentiment I saw on the last packet tracer meme. Posting these without a content warning is literally violence. I’m having flashbacks to NET 101. someone should stop you people,

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language.English
0·2 months agoYeah season 21 is crazy, they took a hard sci fi turn about 10 seasons ago and now everyone is split up. They made a whole cinematic universe and its very confusing. Jim was a CIA agent for a while and now he’s a post apocalyptic survivor. IMO they’re making the character do too much, bir I guess that’s what happens when you run out of ideas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Behold the future of programming
0·3 months agoFuck if I know, all I know is you can sit next to a blender in a busy office full of crying babies and barking dogs while writing a dissertation on an electric typewriter and the person on the other end of the line would never be able to tell. Professional headsets (like in the $300-$500 range) are honestly pretty incredible. If these silicon valley offices are too noisy for a high end EOS to handle then they need to go back to the drawing board. Steno masks have their place but for anything a garden variety techbro is doing they’re just performative bullshit. I guaranfuckingtee bossman has no interest in putting one of these on.

And yet people struggle. Many go to the hospital. Why? Why is this so hard?

Ah yeah I got that and then kinda lost scope reading the reply. Non sequitur for a non sequitur.


Disaster is a bit unfair. It’s a bloated dinosaur for sure, but it is an important piece of computing history and it’s got some neat tricks.
