Yeah, I hate it when people don’t use the simple shortcut Win+Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L to open LinkedIn!

I’ve noticed Chinese people doing this often. I assume that it’s to do with Chinese keyboard layouts.

I still cannot use special characters in filenames, 40 years of Windows OSes in.

That’s a good thing IMO. The benefits of using special characters in this specific case are slim, but the repercussions for every single programming language that ever touches file or folder names (i.e. basically all of them) are pretty big.

Like seriously, I’d wager that entire companies might crawl to a stop because Bernice in accounting put a “/” into some important excel file name.

Forums: great store of knowledge and friendly, helpful people. If you ask a question in discord, nobody will ever see the answer again.

The search functions in forums are notoriously terrible though (although someone will inevitably ask you to try using it), so finding anything useful relies on “outside” search engines.

And the linear thread format has been terrible since it was invented (which is probably why discord uses it). You basically need to ignore half the posts to follow the one interesting side line that might end up with a solution.

And here I thought chains were only used for cricket and train tracks.

Lemmy itself doesn’t support user tags, but some of the clients like voyager, do.

What the heck is that map projection? It’s like Mercator on steroids.

In Germany, people are very concerned about Zugluft, i.e. draft from opening multiple windows.
