@slash Windows 11 is not THAT bad. When I read about it and looked at the screenshots I hated it. But I gave it a try by installing the ARM edition on my old Lumia phone. Having desktop OS on a phone IS sick and twisted 😂 But it's hooked up to a TV, keyboard and mouse so it's almost a normal computer.
Thing is, it's not worse than any other Windows, I liked tiles more, but the new Start menu is okay, new window management features in the vein of tiling WMs are cool and the rest is just bearable.

@slash @projectmirai39 Likewise here! Almost every other computer I have runs linux, except for my old trashpile Mac Pro. Windows is surprisingly good at dealing with poor EFI implementations, old Apple EFI is broken in so many ways, but, aside from the fact that Windows wants to get installed on the first disk only, so you have to remove all other disks and put them back in after installation, it works well with it.
And I still want a system that can run some proprietary software, so why not?

So true! I can't even imagine how MIDI stuff works if just getting audio in and out is this cursed. Windows is broken in many ways too, but at least it works. Good thing I have a Mac for my audio production needs.

@RL_Dane Very relatable!
IT is fun as a hobby — not so if it's your primary job. A lot of tech things are so ugly, but you just can't avoid them if it is your job, so you just start hating everything about it 😩

@mangeurdenuage A cat is fine too!
Is this meme still considered okay? Is this even still considered a meme?🤭

@Meier @zemichi @hideki @dwite39@pawoo.net I think hacker should always keep a low profile, especially on a date. Maybe by wearing this — no one will believe you are a hacker!

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Well, most of the time you know how to make a post that most people will like, but that is not always the point.
And yes, modern pop/mainstream music IS bad. It's like building upon the 90-ies music (which was really bad) and expanding it.

@cy@mstdn.io @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Well, yes.
But the way I see it, JACK is more of a professional/prosumer thing aimed at sound editing, sound design, music making, etc.
While pulse is a 100% consumer thing that can be used for some light eq and compression here and there, streaming to multiple outputs like a makeshift multiroom soundsystem — that kind of thing. It does have its uses, but it shouldn't be on every system.

@suika The red one looks like he already drank some 😋

@sai This looks like a scene from Dance in the Vampire Bund when Mina finds a cave full of her clones 😄

@Sherwoodinc @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org But that's cheating!
Isn't it imperative to suffer when using Windows? 😂

@hj So true! Except coffee is not my cup of… Oh, well.
I have several bottles of sparkling water in the fridge, but I just can't stop drinking hot tea for some reason.

@Moon @cereal Forget Me Not extension for Firefox is also quite good. It clears cookies when you close the tab/leave that domain.
They will still ask you whether you want cookies or not every freaking time! So the most complete solution would be to avoid such web sites 😆

@diresock @sai Transparency is really nice here and it looks… appropriate.
I don't think real compositing was possible at that time though as most video adapters lacked alpha blending capabilities.

@sai I have something to comfort you. It's Windows 3.11 that looks like Windows 9x. Here: https://fosstodon.org/@safiuddinkhan/108645482627167446

@sai Sorry, I didn't want to hurt your feelings 😅

@sai This is just sick in every possible way!
It still looks better than original Windows 98 though 😅
