It's humbling to see this image. I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to see this from the perspective of those astronauts.

Because Windows works just fine for me.

I'm a dev, I don't game. No issues.

Why people find this hard to believe is kind of puzzling to be honest. As if everyone's experience simply HAS to match your own.


Depends on whether using someone else’s windows machine leaves you crazy annoyed.

My windows machine is also “fine” for the most part because i turned off whatever I could and tried to mod whatever I could not. Even so, every once in a while, typing “code” and being taken to an edge bing search makes me want to rip it to shreds.

And I delay every update as far as possible and am filled with dread when it finally wont let me postpone it.

It isn’t that fine now that I think about it.


Do you use powershell or run WSL


That's actually pretty cool. What made you think of doing this in the first place?


Thanks! I've been doing a lot of work on a laptop screen (I normally work on an ultrawide) and got tired of constantly switching between windows to find the information I need.

I've also added the ability to create a picture-in-picture section of any application window, so you can move a window to the background while still seeing its important content.

I'll probably do a Show HN at some point.


As long as they keep using Macs, iPhones and Apple watches.

That'll show those pesky Americans.


Really disappointing. A lot of us have always considered Ars Technica to be the last of a dying breed of ultra serious, no-nonsense professionalism.

Obviously, we were rocked by the DrPizza scandal years ago...and now this.

Sobering.


Hasn't wild volatility always proved to be the very nature of Bitcoin?


The irony of building 'sovereign' software on top of Windows and MacOS.

Without a hardware or OS pivot, this feels less like independence and more like empty posturing.


The French government has its own version of Ubuntu, used by law enforcent, and is supposedly slated to be used by all agencies in 2027.


Apple have enough customer behaviour data at hand to fully understand that there is very little they can't get away with.

So why not maximize profit?


Still think AI shines here. I find ffmpeg commands pretty arcane. Nowadays I just ask an LLM to generate the commands I need, test, and I'm done.


Bluesky still chugging along.

Just saying.


They are decentralized with servers all on the East coast that they self host. They do have points of failure that can take down the whole network, however.
