Bagger 288!

Brave Search is awful for non-English results. Startpage is decent but only because it’s basically Google results.

Spooky

I was wondering if this happend again so soon, since I already updated last week.

It’s a great tool but note that by default it upgrades EVERYTHING, up to and including production cloud environments if you are connected to any.

The vitriol the “Clean Code” cult has against comments is unbelievable…

I still have my old games case. I sometimes browse through it just for the nostalgia. Even just looking at the discs brings memories.

I think it’s the difference between the call ending suddenly (hang up) and the call not responding for several seconds before dropping (lost connection).

Visual Studio Ultimate is so heavy though. I wouldn’t want to use it for anything other than the languages it was designed for.

The other thing is just how much I hate Windows Update. I can tolerate most parts of Windows, but WU is objectively terrible. It’s incredibly slow, requires multiple restarts (sometimes forced!) amd sometimes fails with random errors that are impossible to troubleshoot.

It goes without saying that most Linux package managers work incredibly well in comparison.

Linux?

It’s so nice to be excited about my OS again. I remember as a kid, I used to be really excited about Windows updates. People were cynical about Microsoft even back then, but I remained loyal to Windows for years.

Only last year did I finally move to Linux as my OS (although I still use Windows for gaming). Since then every following Linux news is always exciting. New versions of distros, desktop environments and software always bring interesting improvements.

Meanwhile on the Windows side, most noticeable updates just bring more ads, tracking, forced Edge recommendations and forced logins. Ironically the last Windows feature I remember being genuinely excited for was WSL 2.

You learned that the hard way?

This video is from 7 years ago.

Yep those are the two I use!

Photos is cool but weirdly much lower than every other gallery app.

The feature that Liftoff has is automatic redirects. So for example if I am lemmy.one user and want to subscribe to [email protected], clicking the Subscribe button on the Liftoff app will offer to redirect me to lemmy.one/c/[email protected]. On the web interface, you would have to manually go to that domain.

Also all the links in my comment automatically open in the Liftoff app.

At least on Liftoff it’s incredibly easy.
