The sentiment in this thread and the votes on the OP are why this is happening I suspect. Windows knows their consumer sentiment is so low it’s below the dumps. Honestly Im here for it, it’s nowhere near enough but focusing on UX for fucking once is a step in the right direction. Whether they don’t full M$$ it and shit the bed, yet again, remains to be seen.

The third party tool activates Microsoft’s new start menu since they’re doing incremental rollouts.

Lmao already people making their agents try this on the site. Of course what could have been a somewhat interesting experiment devolves into idiots getting their bots to shill ads/prompt injections for their shitty startups almost immediately.

Gotta respect the empirical approach🙏

I might not know how to turn gay

Not with that attitude you don’t.

Lmao I thought the exact same during a Terminator 2 rewatch recently where they’re shooting inside a closed elevator with a shotgun and pistol at the T-1000 on top. Erryone getting hearing aids.

To be fair, a lot of stuff like this is intentionally wrong for people potentially like in the OP but not being ironic. Like a chip of fulminated mercury blowing up a building but somehow not touching off the rest of the bag; though the rest of the bag may have just been actual meth.

Tech support is somewhat different, for MSPs at least. In so far as billing and resolving the customers problem is usually aligned. Customer/tech support for places like Amazon or adobe is different. Adobe for example will typically only help out (resolving a billing dispute for example) only if you make it apparent you’ll leave/report them to a consumer bureau and they’re instructed in this fashion.

The design choices are also sometimes shit on purpose. I get it though and was bitching about similar on a different post recently regarding Nextdoor making unsubscribing from notifications intentionally infuriating to do. Only offering to unsubscribe from all when you begin the account deactivation process.

Yeah I deactivated my account and only then they offered unsub me to all notifications. Mentioned it in my reason for deactivating.

More concerningly is this going to trial in the US’ current governmental “degraded” (to put it lightly) condition. NFPs get a bunch of concessions and benefits to being such. It’s not unheard of for NFPs to have for profits subsidiaries but I feel like letting them bootstrap into FP, often on the taxpayers/states dime should be, legally speaking, a no no.

Realistically, as long as you’re polite or even just professional you’d get my respect. When I worked for an MSP some of the elitism of my coworkers was annoying. One older dude who I was providing support for asked how I “know all this stuff” about computers. Not only because it was my job but as I said him I’ve been messing around with computers since I was a kid. And a lot of that was breaking shit and having to fix it so my parents didn’t get mad.

Glad I don’t do support directly anymore and if someone is rude or abusive; we can just terminate communication with them.

Respectfully; if we aren’t close and it doesn’t come up organically in game, I’m super not interested in hearing political opinions in games. While they may have some degree of politics baked in, that doesn’t mean Im interested in hearing people interpretation of them beyond gameplay. I play games to relax and socialise in a friendly, respectful setting.

That includes if I agree. I see this “if they don’t, they agree with the status quo/don’t want to deal/etc” used frequently but people who borderline grandstand in front of people who they know likely share their view are insufferable. At least that been my experience the one time someone has brought up politics at a table. Then again I avoid public/rand tables for a reason these days. Not saying all political discussion goes thay way at a table but the image just paints it in a very binary manner.

I really should get matching coats for myself and my dog. And a dog.

The more you know, cheers for the links! The out-competing native animals angle makes sense and I wouldn’t have thought of. I have to admit, I would not have called hedgehogs being on the list lol.

Ah fair enough on them not being protected in NZ but I still fail to see how they can be a significant pest problem beyond swooping. Definitely not to the point of shooting them anyway.

Lucky you don’t have a license (I assume) because magpies are protected. Why the hell you’d want to shoot a non-pest is beyond me; even they can be dickheads in mating season.

Do things in recycle bin not get synced to the cloud/backed up?(edit: nope seems everything from breaking migration tool, ballooning profiles and overzealous compliance can be mitigated elsewhere). Hence doing so in the roll out? No idea otherwise or why they wouldn’t know. Sometimes we just get told to do things a certain way. Not IT anymore but currently work with engineers who try shortcutting triage queues (probably in an attempt to save everyone time, not maliciously) and we have to undo their assignment and triage it as laid out. Specifically we were told “people will try to tell you who to send internal requests to, ignore them”. Largely for accountability so tickets/requests don’t get dropped or breach SLA and also because it can break workflows. Locking out recycle bins without being able to provide a good reason is pretty wild though lmao.

Did I say that? GitHub action descriptions isn’t really an avenue to communicate with users.

ABS is a feature to stop sliding which I imagine would be crucial in winter driving. That and making sure your tyres are suited for that condition and have good tread on them.

I think the description is sufficient. As long as the dev and contributors know what it’s referring to. Isn’t this app mostly worked on by one person? I think people complaining about short action descriptions or calling them stupid is a bit excessive. Unless both you and the OP are looking to contribute?
