  I’ve never thought about it until now, so thanks for that…

  I’ve said it in my head as “Seer” and then the letters X N G. I didn’t even CONSIDER part of it is supposed to sound like “search”…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Notepad on my work computer daily. I never save any documents, but it is handy for a quick copy/paste of info I need for a short period of time. We aren’t allowed to install anything on the computers, so it’s what is available.

  I could live without it, but I do find it marginally useful, basically as digital “scrap paper”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally love Alexandrite.app as a UX. I’m so used to it that I get confused when I follow a link and see a default Lemmy instance, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what was the last game you played in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same! I’ve got over 200 hours in so far. It scratches that itch so well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, I’m not trying to give any commentary on Lemmy or Linux in this thread. I’m just talking about how poorly the analogy is lining up for the intended purpose. Honestly, Lemmy shouldn’t be pushing any one thing in general, imo.

  I do get confused about the people that show up in Linux specific communities and get mad about “all the Linux fanatics”, and maybe the original analogy would work for that.

  Ok, so I get you are still trying to make the analogy work, but this is like getting mad that your coffee shop sucks, deciding to go to the local car dealership for the free coffee instead, and then complaining that they keep trying to sell you cars.

  This analogy is breaking down rapidly, that was my point. lol.

  even though you’re not there for service

  I mean, it’s pretty weird for a person to hang out in a brothel and not expect a couple of sales pitches for their services. They kinda only do the one thing, why go there if you aren’t down for it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years that this stuff is malware. I’m not the only one. No one listens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grr Windows⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I fucking love running updates on garuda. Watching the little ASCII pacmans gobbling up the progress bar… And it doesn’t do it unless I tell it to so I never have the windows experience of “I just wanna play a game,oh look, 10 minutes of updates instead. Guess I’ll go make a sandwich…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New mobile features are sh*t these days⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want one but the price has kept me away… But its about to be time. I’m not one to upgrade often, I’m still on a galaxy s9 plus, which I love, but the battery is showing its age and the screen has some minor burn in after like I think 6 years of constant use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows 10 on day 1 was still ‘calling home’ and recommending candy crush in the start menu as I recall. I had to dig into the registry to gut the windows store from it entirely to get windows 10 to act how i want an OS to act. Windows 7 was the last good windows IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Third-party tool "Rebound 11" aims to improve the Windows 11 UI, while keeping system files intact⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This one in particular looks like AI crap. Which seems like what we get when we use Windows so maybe that’s genius?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly how we know that they are actively trying to exclude Linux users and it never has been “too much development effort with too little market share”. They won’t tick the check box in EAC to allow use in Linux. They actively aim to exclude the open-source community because they are big corporations and would rather a different big corporation hold some of the power they don’t have yet instead of the “consumer”.
