Microsoft won't fix intended, by design, behaviour, it is not broken from their point of view. And even if you disable Recall by whatever name they put to hide it, it could be silently reenabled by "security" updates.
At least if some Linux distro includes something that users consider bad for their privacy, you can choose among several alternatives, including direct forks. That is an actual strength of that approach.
The difference between Linux and Windows is that if you wanted that functionality almost any time in the past 10 years you could have switched to another file navigator that allowed you to do that, such as dolphin. No such options exist in Windows.
2. Delete all packages that depend on GTK and Gnome.
3. Make a DE that feels like Windows 7
4. Make apps for basic system settings that come with windows, like font list, mouse settings, control panel, etc.
5. Make a notepad and a MS paint equivalent.
6. Single-handedly topple the world's most used operating system in under 5 years time.
I suppose the reason why it's so hard to change the world is that the easiest ways to make a difference are not very profitable. There are countless niche markets that could use better niche software, but because they're niche the profitability is limited.
I think the correct thing to do would be to stop sharing news.
I just don't see how a site about the latest drama, crime, war, or tragedy happening at the moment anywhere on the planet or on the Internet can be good for anyone's mental health.
If you asked me, I'd say more social media should strive to be like Pinterest, where people don't share their wordy opinions nobody will be better off reading, they just share pictures of things that interest them (or in many cases pictures of products they're selling).
Like, if you're a gamer, which is the better site: one that keeps telling you about the latest drama among Twitch streamers, or one that just had 30 screenshots and short video clips of various games displayed on screen at the same time?
It's the adage: your users don't care about your tech stack.
In the time it takes for you to learn jekyll or hugo, someone with a wordpress blog already wrote 30 articles. When you finally figure out static hosting, 50 posts. When you finally make something with it that you wouldn't be able to do with vanilla wordpress, they will have their first user. :P
>She got hacked a couple of times, but no biggie, she was also back on track after just a support ticket to her hosting provider.
Nice provider :D
I have the same sentiment about Wordpress. I see a lot of criticisms for the Gutenberg editor after they deprecated TinyMCE and I can't understand it. You can easily write your own WYSIWYG widgets if you know React.
A lot of other CMS's just lack the ability to insert random blocks into the HTML or are purely markdown-based. If I can't Ctrl+K and search the name of a page to add a link, it's not even content-manage-y, it's more like a page rendering engine.
After writing a lot of things in Wordpress I went to write something in Reddit and it made me miss Gutenberg. I start a code block, how do I leave the code block? Pressing enter twice doesn't work??? If I click the code block button, the whole code block disappears! Can I type a paragraph before the code block and press an arrow button to push it forward? I can't. And even the toolbar doesn't stay on the screen on desktop if the post is too long, it stays on top of the textbox!
There's a lot of work put into Gutenberg to make it intuitive and versatile. Perhaps the most important lesson, UI-wise, one could take from it, that I have been noticing in good UIs lately, is that there should be multiple ways to perform the same task. There are at least 4 different ways to move a block in Gutenberg. In most editors, it's only cut and paste.
I really think it's holding desktop Linux back. I was making windows apps when I was kid using Visual Studio. There is no way I'd be able to with any of Linux frameworks. The closest thing would probably be to use Java.
*right clicks* *context menu covers entire screen*
You can't drag and drop widgets in the hierarchy view, which sucks when a container has a width/height of zero because it has no widgets inside of them yet.
It's not terrible, but it could be better.
I can't be the only one feels this is weird, right? Like, you have a team who can create an entire IDE, even rendering widgets and dragging them around, but somehow things like organizing a context menu in submenus and making the designer intuitive is too hard. And this is a consistent theme in every one of these apps. The things that should be the hardest to program are programmed, the easiest to implement quality-of-life improvements are lacking. GPU-accelerated video transitions in a timeline based video editor? Easy peasy. A status bar that actually displays statuses? Absolutely impossible to implement.
