@Demolishun thanks for the advise - yes i did.
yet windows starts putting new icons from the top left.
the ability not to define where exactly new icons will be placed is more than disturbing and i wonder why no more people have problems with this.
i mean, we probably got used to it. but its time to undo that and see with open eyes again how shitty windows and microsoft actually are and how much of a problem they are for the world. -
@joewilliams007 aand being held hostage because you're a gamer *silent cries*
-
@TrayKnots I need to be able to spin up and use containers locally as I am creating docker images and compose-files quite often.
But once more it seems Windows was the worst choice of OS I could've made.
If only unix had always had all the games, I never would have opted for Windows.
Your last suggestions sounds interesting though, I might try that. -
@magicMirror my companies' IT gave up on this and I am probably 20 hrs deep into troubleshooting this and fed up trying to understand why software we are using does not work as it should.
-
@AlgoRythm thats cool
-
did you have problems or missed features in KeePass? because it seems to be exactly that
-
@Lensflare I dislike companies stealing ideas and nice things that were there before and trying to make it proprietary. And I disregard people advertising for proprietary stuff in their sparetime without any benefits for them at all.
None of the stuff is really something new and apple just had to steal a bunch of ideas just like they usually do. -
@Lensflare dude calm down. no need to get hostile. I admit I have no clue of swift. I thought it was a competitor to electron, but it seems it is solely focussed on the apple ecosystem which makes it even more of a joke in times where everyone invests into PWAs and stuff like that.
I remember that apple destroyed flash player in favor of HTML, CSS, and JS, all the while not even half the features could be replicated. And to make it clear: they also didnt invent shaders, layouts, designs and ui.
Swift is nothing new, and not innovative too - and all the technologies that swift uses under the hood were there before swift and work better outside of swift (outside of apple environment, that is).
They only had to copy and paste stuff that was already there and released something half-assed, just for clout. And thats swift.
Heck, even electron makes more sense... -
@melezorus34 I was hoping for windows to at least do that every few years :/
-
@Lensflare why? isnt HTML/CSS/JS exactly what the browser understands?
I get you are a swift nerd, but HTML CSS and JS are exactly what makes swift work in the first place. So why learn something you have less control over, owned by a company who make proprietary stuff that is obsolescent mostly after 2 years. -
I just noticed that the culprit may have been vscode, which has now completely uninstalled itself! Googling about it revealed, that this is an unfixed problem that first happened 3 years ago.
You'd think they know what they are doing, but erm-erm. Negative. -
@lorentz you mean you develop languages like typescript or similar?
for me, vscode is one of the best editors in terms of ease of access, intuitivity, and support for all kinds of plugins, languages, and other kinds of extensions.
I generally was very happy with it right from the start and it can do so much stuff now, it has become my primary ide basically.
Before that, I used sublime3, sublime2, notepad++, dreamweaver and the good old barebones text editor for programming.
Stuff you can still use if you want.
I also am somehow used to re-inventing the wheel now after years in development. Heck, I started to believe this is what our times are all about. Everyone fixing the same task/bug, wasting countless hours, because we all get presented identical problems, at the same time.
Thanks to updates and bleeding edge technologies we use.
How do we want to prevent this for good? Everyone makes mistakes sometimes I guess. -
@lilycollins9x your comment makes sense, but why do you put a link in the middle as if this was spam?
-
I also do dislike that so many idiot-jobs have these fancy names nowadays, effectively making the work sound more demanding and professional than it really is.
For example "controlling", which basically is like doing a teachers job, only without having to know and teach anything at all. Effectively only talking to "parents" about the pupil and the school from a very distanced, almost estranged, point of view.
The funny thing is they earn way more than someone doing actual work for them which is something I will never understand. -
@kalyl sure, but only after they phoned home at least a dozen of times, effectively grabbing all valuable data they can, while they can.
even asking to opt out of something generates new information, and they crave any form of it. -
@AlgoRythm strangely, though, I never had that problem. And I am pretty sure I installed windows more often than the average computer-joe.
I am talking about at least 20 times. -
@Hazarth the more I read, the more I become convinced that there never was a "good" windows, at all.
-
@Fast-Nop thats why I, back then, decided to not pay that amount of money. Instead I dropped my three year (or two year?) warranty by installing a original apple 512GB drive I got on ebay for 200 bucks (in 2016 or so). The price-gap from 128GB (which is really not much) to 512 (which is okay) was almost 800 bucks and I was not stupid.

@dev0x01 I do now, my good sir. I do now indeed.
All I need in life now is proper nvidia graphics driver support in unix... -
@tosensei I do now, I do. And my life continues to improve
-
I activated my google cloud storage and had to transfer 1$ to them, for verification purposes.
dude, I honestly thought I would get it back, but they kept it xD thats plain thievery from one of the biggest companies of the world. -
its the very concept, that is already rotten in its core: trying to serve everyone with in one serving.
the thought behind this is pure greed: trying to get as much as possible through investing the least. If you're being honest, then you'll have to admit that its a system of giving a shit about others. -
I thought I was the only one worried about this...
But, tbh, it is no different than "regular" updates. You never know what you get and most often, you will see in hindsight what really happened. -
its not unix, its the concept of having constant updates in your life, aka no control over your own life.
-
@CSaratakij my condolences
-
It stopped syncing on my Windows PC multiple times now, with me having to re-install, re-configure and re-sync everything. It is not reliable and as of now, it stopped working on my Mac, due to it not having the most recent updates.
I kinda start hating google. -
@ScriptCoded yeah, but if he added it to git beforehand.. he probs has no other chance than to rebase the whole thing, right?
-
@exerceo sure, but the center tag didn't vertically center, it was basically the same as {display: inline-block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}
