Well I’m glad I made that comment because now I know there’s ways to do this that aren’t Microsoft related. Looks like I have some text editor experimentation to do.
I’m a die hard Microsoft hater. I haven’t had windows installed on a pc in years. With that being said I use visual studio code because it’s kind of the only text editor that does code completion in the capacity that it does. I can take a class name, type a “.” after it and a scroll view opens up shows every accessible member of that class along with comments and information about all the variables. The amount of time this saves is so huge I don’t even know how you would quantify it. Nothing else has code completion that even comes close to being that good.
Do non visual studio code users just have to memorize every single function, parameter and return type in their code base? Yeah you can always read the documentation, sure you can always dig through the source code to figure it out every time you forget what data type a parameter is but that takes valuable time.
If they ever put visual studio code behind a paywall or stop making it for Linux, I’m going to be forced to either switch to windows (which I never will under any circumstances) or make a custom made ripoff clone of that entire intellisense code completion system and hack it into whichever open source text editor I deem is the next best thing.
Microsoft went too far in 2001 when they included a new online activation feature in Windows XP which spearheaded the future of drm and enshitification. They’ve been one-upping themselves ever since. All the most recent stuff is just more icing on the shit cake.

Wow if you don’t have a vpn you’re fucked these days.
Congress is making laws about bathrooms and genitals like a bunch of 6th graders running a minecraft server. Of course we can’t handle fucking asteroid defense.

I sold my switch that I stupidly bought when they first came out. People are still buying them and I got more than I expected. Switches with lower firmware numbers are probably worth more money due to jailbreaks and stuff but I didn’t research switch mods or anything.
Windows ME didn’t have the ability to automatically install USB drivers and it was fucking bullshit even back then.
You can’t install a flash drive driver if you need the flash drive in order to transfer the driver to the computer, everything is always 0.1mb too large for a floppy drive so CD has to be burned which is clunky and stupid and time consuming.
When they start making affordable arm or risc motherboards that can take pcie cards and ram sticks, then I’ll be interested. The “pi” motherboard form factor has its place but we need better stuff.
I don’t think that replacing order taking positions is stealing anyone’s job, in fast food at least. I worked at a fast food joint one time. We were always shorthanded and we always had to do order taking while doing a bunch of other things. It was such bullshit. From an overworked employee perspective, if there was any way to get out of doing drive through orders while doing all my other tasks, I would be happy to use it.
It’s probably going to be like twitch. I’m sure they’ll eventually succeed in making it so you can stream videos without watching ads but they’ll never be able to stop people from downloading the video and skipping the ad in vlc.
I use Arch btw. You should try Arch. Everyone in this post should stop what they’re doing and try Arch. I never go outside.
I only use Gimp for my image editing and I can literally do everything I ever attempt. I do stuff game modding and 3d model textures sometimes. Wtf else do people want in gimp, an automatic dick sucking machine?
If paying all that money to use photoshop is worth not learning a different ui to you, then you are their intended customer. I’m glad you found something you like.
Krita can’t do the same things Gimp can though + I already know where all the buttons are from years of using it. I fail to understand why people hate gimp so much. I’ve never run into an image editing task that I couldn’t do in gimp.
Imagine getting banned from all of adobe just for drawing a dick with the brush tool in their expensive image editor.
Let’s take low power a tech gadget that gets good battery life and make it no longer have good battery life. What a great idea.
