ora et labora
I usually only use the terminal when I don’t find an alternative, but powershell usually feels a bit saner than bash.
I’ve also tried nushell, also nice, but in a few situations powershell despite usually being verbose was more “elegant”.
I’m glad powershell is cross-platform nowadays. It’s a bit saner.
Better would be to leave the 1970s and never interact with a terminal again…
From what I read through the years, NT actually had design behind it, while Linux is a pile of improvised hacks roughly following an “ancient” 1970s design.
Of course that might be wrong, and I’m using Linux almost continuously on last year and it seems solid, the only annoyances being installing stuff, and things designed with 1970s mentality that forces the use of the terminal.
In my opinion, not entirely, the underlying NT kernel seems better designed than Linux.
Windows 7 was very good, later versions were turned into crap.
You can get the LTSC ISOs directly from Microsoft, and activate with https://massgrave.dev/
I haven’t really looked into it, but isn’t Friendica supposed to be the FOSS Fediverse Facebook?
If you don’t mind wiping out and reinstalling the system, you can get the LTSC ISO from MS and activate with this: https://massgrave.dev/
(This site also has the ISOs)
It seems you can download the ISO directly from Microsoft, or from that site, and use their script to activate it.
I haven’t had the opportunity to test it yet, but seems “legit” to me.
For anyone who really can’t leave Windows, you may find the less-bloated LTSC and activation here: https://massgrave.dev/
The app is not going to suddenly stop working, and it’s unlikely to do so before a replacement appears.
Best looking for sure.
I don’t use AI because it doesn’t exist.
LLMs and image diffusion? Yes, but these are just high coherence media transformers.
At least it’s the “only” editor that handles tabs correctly. Tabs are to go to the next tabstop, not advance a fixed amount.
Static types are great, but not exactly what would have helped here, any decent language or at least a linter should catch the use of a not declared identifier.
As a C# programmer, I like to make desktop GUIs with WPF or Avalonia. Web is also possible with asp.net, but I don’t like it as much.
I will never not complain about bugs that obviously someone put in the effort to do the wrong thing when the correct would have been easier.
