Yeah, I'm still on a 1080p monitor as my main one. I don't think any of my laptops have screens where 100% or 200% scaling is the correct choice, either, unless you're DHH level obsessed with font rendering.

I mean, even aside that? If you spend the money on European developers instead, that's jobs and tax dollars here.

With Teams, the distinction is pretty easy: Within a Team, the file gets uploaded to the Team's SharePoint site. If you share a file in the Chat module, it gets uploaded to your own OneDrive.

Functionally, sure. But a lot of their concerns are about data sovereignty after an European court had issues with M365. Given what a stickler for compliance MS typically is, I don't imagine Google would fare any better.

This is one thing where a Roam / Logseq / Amplenote style scrollable list of daily note files works wonders. It's one of the biggest things Obsidian lacks. Dumping things into daily notes is a really powerful workflow.

Is there a Qt app that looks great on Windows? Breeze is awesome when on KDE, but I don't remember a single Qt app that'd actively look good on Windows.

Brave was originally based on a Gecko-based Electron-alike. I think it was called Muon?

Pissing off hairshirt environmentalists is always worth it on principle. A bunch of their policies are more about annoying humans than being more ecological. eg. hyper efficient slow as molasses dishwashers are such a pain to use they promp

I was really excited about Chromium Edge when it initially landed, but grew tired of the dark patterns. Seeing that grim report (or one very much like it on the ieee site) a few years back was an eye opener.

UWP wasn't just lack of back compat, it enforced things like apps sleeping on minimize which is nuts. This was in an attempt to make Windows a universal OS that's tablet and phone worthy.

Linux is getting better steadily. Still has some largish holes, like poor support for cloud storage if you're not running your own.

The counterargument by Chan misses Curtis' point - people with higher RISK of developing depression. Depression goes hand in hand with high trait neuroticism, and both the internalizing and externalizing branches of neuroticism contain

The fucked up part is they didn't update the Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse to use USB-C, those are still stuck on Lightning.

Sadly, software companies are increasingly asking themselves: Por que no los dos? Why not have you pay AND be the product for advertisers at the same time?

You can just give them some nonsense like user: test and password:test and they'll go groan , ok, you don't have an MSA, let's set up a local account... Still user hostile nonsense, but can be worked around. I think a part o

GNOME is made with JavaScript. Not the app windows, but GNOME Shell is mostly JS.

Different divisions make money differently. Office and OneDrive people get money from providing things worth paying for, Edge and Bing teams from advertising.

For simple use, Linux is actually pretty simple and useful. It's the inbetween where you require some kind of power user features or specialized software and aren't a developer type where things get hairy.

I mean, you were wrong and he was the second coming of Jesus in many ways. The Microsoft of today isn't the Microsoft of yesteryear. It just doesn't change the fact that they're in the advertising business, and that the adver

Not a marketing team trying to sell Office. They're trying to grow in the advertising sector, which means funneling people into Bing, since search ads are really profitable.
