I think most of the update is pretty okay (unpopular opinion: I kinda like the new battery icon), except for the notification panel, which they completely ruined.

It used to be that persistent notifications (which need to be there so apps like tasker and kde connect don’t get killed) were neatly at the bottom. Now they’re just randomly mixed in with the other notifications, so chats, emails, etc.

What’s BOFA? (Apart from BOFA deez nuts)

I still have a DVI monitor connected to my main pc, so it’s not that much of a retro problem for me

Yeah, Facebook’s one is really getting into uncanny valley territory. Especially those teeth…

How does it even work? I thought the api changes made 3rd party apps effectively impossible?

Around late 2017 I think. I was a first year university student. I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 when I started uni, but Windows would break with just about every other update. Eventually I was fed up with it and I wanted to try an alternative OS, so I installed Linux Mint next to my Windows installation.

I quickly found myself using it more than Windows, especially since a lot of software I had to use for university was significantly easier to install on Linux (think LaTeX). Quickly, it got to the point where I only used Windows as a gaming OS.

About half a year into this “experiment”, my Windows 10 decided to nuke itself, again. This time the network driver wasn’t working, which is annoying af to fix, so I didn’t for a long time. Also in 2018 gaming on Linux got a lot better, with Proton becoming a thing around that time. Even when I eventually got around to fixing my Windows installation, I found myself not really using it.

Eventually got into a distrohopping phase, used Fedora for quite a while, but right now I settled on Debian with Gnome as my DE. It’s not the most “exciting” setup, but I found that to be a good thing actually, because it allows me to get the most work done.

This feels like Hertog Jan slander.

As long as there is software that only runs on Windows, Windows won’t die.

This problem also exists on the android app. When I put my ear buds in, teams somehow just refuses to switch to them. No other app has this problem, just teams.

The ussr may not have been communist, but it was definitely the initial goal. The idea of a revolution that leads to a dictatorship of the proletariat is inherently flawed. You just end up replacing a corrupt government with another corrupt government.

Right now I’m on Jerboa. I tried Liftoff for a while but it had some weird bugs, and development on it seems to have slowed down a bit in the last few months. Thought it was very promising however, might try it again in the future.

Reddit forcing me to use their shitty app

Oh actually I will try that, thanks

I use it for my university email, which is an outlook account. Edge is the only browser that doesn’t constantly log me out.
