It only shows "Update and shut down" (which is a lie as it still will reboot) or "Update and reboot.

I think all this was a response to severely outdated Windows machines being infected with worms and what not. Microsoft got bad press for this and went (way) overboard with trying to force users to install updates as soon as released.

Please add a button to disable a background animation (or just remove it). It adds visual noise and is so distracting I closed the website after reading a couple of sentences.

Not what you asked for but you may enjoy Pitch Perfect 237: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiC9X_MoE1M

This bullshit attitude to make in-jokes that don't make any sense to people not part of the cultural or social phenomenom that an article is about is one of the most infuriating aspects of them. You can barely find proper user review for books like this or Welcome to Night Vale or such.

My experience has been somewhat different. I've had a linux server for a long time so I'm not new to the OS but my main computer which I use for development and gaming and everything else has always been Windows. I recently added a dual-boot Ubuntu for some performance-heavy development where the better docker integration made sense for me to use.

I had to try three window managers until I was able to use fractional scaling in such a way that my main 4K 32" screen shows 150% and my secondary screen shows a sharp image because Gnome cannot do fractional scaling only on one screen and for some reason 100% resulted in a blurry image.

The window manager crashed multiple times when I tried to unlock it.

Whenever I woke up my screen the whole system froze, apparently because of the USB hub in the monitor which registered. So far the only solution has been to disconnect the USB hub.

Fan control doesn't work properly because the chipset isn't supported.

I see rendering issues with window decorations all the time.

That's just after two weeks. I can't remember the last time my windows froze or crashed or had display errors. Whenever I'm in the console or do IO heavy stuff I feel right at home but as a desktop OS it's still inferior to me. I don't have fewer problems on Linux, just different ones.

I'm using DisplayFusion on Windows and am very happy with it. Haven't found anything similar on Linux that works as well.

> Yes, Gaming Couch is currently free to play!

Emphasis mine. Sounds like they're not ruling it out.

From what I've read and heard Gemini is the superior model but Claude Code is the better tool.

I found the documentation confusing and as so often with general-approach tools too overwhelming for what I'm trying to do. sdkman works fine for what I need it for and usually you only need one instance of gradle and maven installed.

And sdkman is written in rust and only needs curl, zip and unzip, no JVM.

I would've expected this kind of inane take on Reddit or X, not here. Or on SO where somebody asks "How do I do X?" and is told "X sucks, you want to use Y".

FWIW I like yours better. I'd just love to play the ones from previous days.

They're not strictly taxes but they kinda are. They're mandatory and paid by workers into a fund but are linked to your future pensions. Like taxes they're automatically deducted from your salary and legally required but earmarked as to be used in the future.

Which has worked well for quite some time but I don't believe I'll every see any of the money I'm currently paying into the system.

Hi! I wondered why the Gin Basil Smash is in the column with rare, specialized ingredients? Sounds pretty basic to me, especially compared with the other cocktails in the list.

Yesterday I tried CC the first time. I have the $20 package. I asked it to improve the code in a small kotlin based chess engine. Five minutes later I reached my limit and the engine performed poorer than before. It just created two new classes, changed some code in others and created a couple of tests which it ran. So I hit the limit pretty quickly.

"For most documents, Harper can serve up suggestions in under 10ms." 10l is OK. 10kg as well. Why is 10ms wrong?

Minor thing: When I load the page and click "Load example file" while Pyodide is still loading I see a stacktrace for a short time. Perhaps disable the button until it's loaded?

Relatively early on the page it says:

"docker save | ssh | docker load transfers the entire image, even if 90% already exists on the server"

The opposite for me on Firefox Desktop - I didn't realize they were gifs and wondered what the pictures were supposed to tell me.
