Thank you for a great laugh this morning!

We had a good laugh when our IT informed us that Remote Desktop was being renamed Windows App. I really wonder what is going on over there because from where I'm sitting it makes no effin' sense at all.

No need to do a drive by on Predator Badlands like that, it's a perfectly enjoyable film in its own right. I agree with the author though, there's nothing nearly as emotionally deep or socio-politically engaging as One Battle After Another, and so it would make for poor choice as a double feature to run second in the pairing.

I don't think M$ does much dogfooding. The kinds of issues I encounter being forced to use their pan-awfuly for work makes me very skeptical of this idea.

I grew up on Aardwolf. It basically taught me to touch type. Thank you for reminding me of its existence <3

“The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.”

Something better? Than multilateral talks? Sorry, but can you expand on what you mean, a bit more?

You're so correct. It's an odd shortcoming in the whole suite of tools and I desperately wish it would get a refresh.

I quite like this analogy, I hope I can remember it for the appropriate moment.

Absolutely devastating.

Zotero!

I wish calibre could look like this. Calibre is a lovely project that I've used happily for years but that UI is really something else.

I have a strong suspicion that OP is using 'maybe' as a rhetorical device in this case, and is not actually hedging their statements.

Is one private enterprise choosing not to do business with another private enterprise really "political"? Or are you trying to say something else?

This began roughly 2 weeks ago. Last I saw things had vanished since 2018. It's bad. And when it started it was just back to Dec 2022.

I can't prove there's a connection, but it's just been very aggravating when nobody in any forums believes people that make these claims. To be clear she's only asked once, but more than a few other posts have described situations that read similarly and not just "I can't find this one email".

My partner has been experiencing emails coming and going in big chunks - months and years at a time - but if we search support forums all we can find are "support agents" blaming the individuals complaining about this phenomenon. It's gaslighting all the way down. Even when it's actively happening, checking moment to moment and having another few months vanish, and they'll still tell you "you must be deleting things, stop deleting them."

And yet from that (great) reference: "If you're waiting for me to say something about Juno Reactor, Hallucinogen or Infected Mushroom, the truth is I find their music to be middle of the pack. I understand they are very popular and they were the introduction to the world of Psy Trance for a lot of people so they win a lot of hearts and minds through first impressions. But the scene is massive with thousands of labels and artists around the world, and I find their contributions to be very ignorable. They aren't a good representation of what's actually out there."

It does provide real time feedback, apparently. The product video shows this and scoring capabilities in the software.

Microsoft's PowerToys has a shortcut guide that might help get you over that last hurdle towards using win+number effectively. Might want to give it a look.

I will add another voice in favour of Bitwarden. It even has some nice visual polish after many years. I pay the 10$ per year because that's basically free and the value prop is obvious (to me). YMMV

As a handy person, I'm curious about the idea of being able to repair plastics. Could you provide some more info? Are there different kinds of fiberglass cloth? Is it safe to handle? Where might I shop for such a product? Thank you.

Hey, could someone please explain this for my friend? They don't get it.

Another vote for Bitwarden.
