Ah, but I did write about WSL a while back in a rather controversial post ;) https://jmmv.dev/2020/11/wsl-lost-potential.html Yeah, I'm also concerned about some of the things you mention, as I described in

The Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center (optional install) supports remapping the middle button to paste text, but I don't know if that works for arbitrary keyboards and mice. (I have a Sculpt keyboard.) Also, I had forgotten about the

I think it also depends on where you are copying from and pasting into. If it's within the same document, you likely want to maintain everything. If it is within the same app (different docs), you may want to maintain everything. If it

Thanks. My original article made its way as a separate submission a while ago but barely got any votes :) My conclusion is that a single (very long) post might have worked out better from an engagement perspective as opposed to the series,

From a quick look at the article, I can see a few subtle "omissions" or "rants that have easy fixes". I can't tell how long the author has spent on Windows (it's not in the article) so it's hard to know ho

To be honest, I haven't yet put any serious effort into figuring out how to abandon Lightroom. At most... I just did a few searches for a couple of programs I already knew about and looked at whether they supported DNG. Most comments I

Thanks for the article. Any thoughts on how to deal with DNG files? A few years ago, I bought into Apple's "DNG promise" and converted all my raw photos into lossless DNGs AND my JPEGs into lossy DNGs. Silly me. I now feel tr

Right? I _despised_ one of the laptops I got from work because it did not allow me to install AHK to leverage my macOS-like shortcuts, so I was extremely unproductive while using it. Kinda fixed now that I've been retraining myself to

Yes, of course migrating to macOS is equally painful. But after doing that transition myself many years ago and then back to Windows now... I think that the macOS shortcuts are objectively better. The consistency across the whole system is

by jmmv 5y ago
The macOS shortcuts seem like an easy thing to dismiss... but once you have bought into them, they are kind of thing that turn into a deal-breaker when trying to move away from macOS. The dedicated Cmd key for most operations (which doesn&#

Horrible? Dreadful? I fear I'm going to have to waste my upcoming weekend trying to get the Windows 3.x theme running.

Hah. I thought I was the only silly person in 2017 purchasing an overpriced and not-so-powerful-at-the-time machine :) I got mine from eBay and it is still my daily driver! Mind you, just wrote this about a week ago on how I keep it current

I guess it's not niche anymore (was it ever?) but I'm coding my hobby projects in Rust. I don't get to use the language at my $dayjob but I find it aligns with my personal opinions on how a native language should be, and it p

This looks so nice. Nostalgia indeed, but I miss consistent UIs across apps. SerenityOS must be mentioned in this context too: Win95-like UI on a Unix-like OS. Check it out if you haven’t yet! Edited to add the link I missed: https:/&

Precisely. To be honest, the fingerprinting part was a very late addition and... I don't like it. The original version used a uuid plus a cookie, but "aaah, cookies!" so I looked for an alternative. Which sounds worse than th

Author here. Yeah, I'm aware that this can/will happen, but as I hinted in the opening of the post: "wanted the warning from uBlock to go away if at all possible" (note the "if possible" part). In other words,
