    Looking for a passionate, motivated team member to be part of a newly refreshed team created to replace an unsuccessful team (RIP) promoting our incredibly competitive product!

    • You must have at least 40 years experience working with Windows 11.
    • GENEROUS remuneration package!*
    • You need to be able to work 26 hours a day 9 days per week.
    • You will need to bring PASSION! ENTHUSIASM! EXCITEMENT! [synonym not found]!, and GRIT!

    *as we are a small start up, we can’t afford to pay wages, but when we are successful, we promise to write your name somewhere on an archived version of our website.




  • My feedback: I wish it was -15 °C… To snuggle up under a bundle of blankets sounds divine. Instead, it’s almost midnight where I am and it’s still bloody 32 °C.

    The UI looks nice, though I’ve effectively disabled the Overview and replaced it with the ArcMenu on my setup. I’ve also aligned my common/active applications to the left on my panel rather than centred (so that my pinned applications are always in the same position and don’t budge over when I open another program). Rounded corners doesn’t do it for me, I try to avoid anything that removes screen real-estate, no matter how minimal. I’ve also set the bottom panel to auto hide so that it’s only visible when I move my cursor at the bottom of the screen. Overall, your setup’s pretty nice, though I don’t think I like the bright colours for the buttons in the top right of your windows, they’re a little distracting. Mine’s set so the cross is a washed out red colour, the minimise button is a pale horizontal line, and I don’t have a maximise button.

    I’m going to install that Weather or Not extension. Thanks.



  • That’s fair. A couple of programs I use are more compatible with Gnome so I had an incentive to get it working. My desktop is pretty much identical to KDE/Windows with a start menu (ArcMenu extension), a taskbar (Dash to Panel extension) and I’ve removed all keyboard shortcuts to the Overview eyesore and have prevented it from showing up at launch (No overview at start-up extension).









  • Probably some bureaucrat decades ago making an incorrect assumption that passed down through generations. Happened to my family. No Irish roots whatsoever, yet somehow we ended up with the annoying form-breaking apostrophe in our ‘legal’ name just because it begins with the letter ‘o’.

  • Thanks for responding, but no, I have 3 devices plugged in at the moment and the icons don’t change regardless of which one I have selected. This is the only one with an ‘x’ icon. It doesn’t appear to prevent me from using it, but I’m unsure if it’s indicative of an issue with the device itself. Maybe it just means it isn’t a recognised device. Kind of wish Nemo had tooltips or something.

    I used to read Australian news every day. Now I just don’t bother. This government just wastes their time on complete and utter nonsense like this while we’re in the middle of a housing crisis that they’re doing their absolute best to exacerbate.

    I feel like I became dumber just reading this article.
