There are now two right-click menus in the file browser. You need to right click, get a dainty menu with nothing on it, and then click ‘view more options’ to show the ACTUAL right click menu. Every single time.
For some reason this is the worst thing for me, I'm already miserable just imagining this
If I'm expected to go to such lengths, I will just install linux. I've been using it for server stuff for a few years now anyway.
Release terrible version on purpose but loaded with all the terrible shit people don't want. Then release a fixed version that fixes the UI and colors and social media connection, but leave all the terrible stuff in there. Then the entire tech news on it is "MS fixes WIndows 11" and trying to search for the horrible shit is impossible.
The start menu is initially filled with icons for subscription purchases for disney+.
it's sad that this doesn't surprise me at all
10/10 effortpost comrade

They prompt you to select shift+f10 to view the real menu. This is, however, a terrible keybind that’s hard to press when you need to do it so many times.
Copying and pasting is hidden under this menu.
Ahhahahahahaha
I let out a big sigh of relief when my computer told me that it can't install Windows 11.
I'm not a boomer, so I don't know how accurate it is for the older versions, but it's 100% correct for windows xp and later
10 is good, 11 is fine. But it also falls apart when you realize that 8.1 was just 9 with a dumb name.
This reminds me how for Windows 10 Microsoft separated every svchost service into its own process to make it more fault tolerant if a service crashed. So now 8 GB RAM computers always using 50% memory because of the overhead of all the svchost processes. They couldn't be bothered to just not make their software so buggy. They just make stuff restart when broken instead of fixing the problem.

God, do I hate that. I'm listening to music on Spotify and I'm watching speed chess online but if I want to fix the fucking issue I've got to restart at least once.
I'm on Windows 10 and got two firefox notifications for your comment. But the OS notification and browser notification is weird.
Yeah that's probably hexbear's fault then. I used to get even more notifications. Firefox just uses an internal notification UI instead of the OS where Edge probably uses the OS mechanism.

Lmao if a website's browser notification is able to send system level messages that sounds like a big sandbox escape security issue for the OS/browser
It's not a "system level message", it's a notification using the OS's standard notification system.
Is every notification you get on your phone a security issue?
I haven't touched windows in 15 years I'm not familiar with their OS features
idk much about Linux's notification system, but from a quick search it looks like it's centered around a
libnotify? Sounds right for Linux.So this is just Windows' version of libnotify vs Firefox just doing its own thing.
I’m using 7.1 gb of ram right now. I have almost nothing open except one tab of microsoft edge, and a matrix client
WHAT THE FUCK
I have a setup that can comfortably run AAA titles from the last couple of years. At the same time I apparently don't meet hardware requirements for upgrading to Windows 11. Now I know why.
