  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Can’t even move the taskbar to the top of the screen

    [–] FaygoBoozer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    The worst part is their excuse for not doing it. They're under the impression that not enough people care about it, so it's not worth implementing, and in explaining that they make it sound like it's some great effort to make taskbar-related context menus pop up from the top instead of the bottom. Literally just having the volume or whatever menu pop up in relation to the top instead of the bottom. It's the craziest fucking thing I've ever seen, especially since like five different free apps and a couple paid ones already have done it. A few hours worth of coding and testing is apparently too expensive time and money-wise for literally Microsoft to bother spending.

    Tali Roth then explains that "when it comes to actually being able to move the taskbar to different locations on the screen, there are a number of challenges with that. When you think about having the taskbar on the right, or the left, all of a sudden the reflow and the work all of the apps have to do to have a wonderful experience is just huge."

    A wonderful experience they say. Jesus fucking christ. I haven't had a "wonderful experience" since Windows 98 and that was largely because I was 12 and didn't know any better.

    Win98 sucks balls big time though. It's just DOS with a UI, unstable AF.

    [–] FaygoBoozer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    All Windows sucks balls big time, like I said I was 12 and the only other OS I experienced before that was mac when it was still black and white and whatever the hell was on the apple II

    I liked it on the side in Windows 10. With widescreen monitors, horizontal space is cheaper than vertical space. Doubly so when you go ultrawide.

    You can with Windows 10.
