All Windows sucks balls big time, like I said I was 12 and the only other OS I experienced before that was mac when it was still black and white and whatever the hell was on the apple II

Thriftbooks! If you don’t know about thriftbooks you have to check it out, it’s incredible. So many extremely cheap books 😍

ooooh I forgot about windows 8, gross

If Linus is good for anything, it’s being a perfect example of the average moron who thinks they know everything so they actively refuse new information.

The worst part is their excuse for not doing it. They’re under the impression that not enough people care about it, so it’s not worth implementing, and in explaining that they make it sound like it’s some great effort to make taskbar-related context menus pop up from the top instead of the bottom. Literally just having the volume or whatever menu pop up in relation to the top instead of the bottom. It’s the craziest fucking thing I’ve ever seen, especially since like five different free apps and a couple paid ones already have done it. A few hours worth of coding and testing is apparently too expensive time and money-wise for literally Microsoft to bother spending.

Tali Roth then explains that “when it comes to actually being able to move the taskbar to different locations on the screen, there are a number of challenges with that. When you think about having the taskbar on the right, or the left, all of a sudden the reflow and the work all of the apps have to do to have a wonderful experience is just huge.”

A wonderful experience they say. Jesus fucking christ. I haven’t had a “wonderful experience” since Windows 98 and that was largely because I was 12 and didn’t know any better.

I’m not sure what you mean, the start button on the taskbar? I’m pretty sure it’s always been in exactly the same place and all that has changed is whether it literally says start or not, and what glyph it uses to represent it?

This is basically me, but reverse the lemmy and reddit percentages. I’m halfway through the Vampire: The Masquerade Clan Novel series 🤘

Oooh this is gonna be a big problem for me, thanks for the heads up.
