The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.
I know there's a lot of hate for Microsoft on Lemmy, but WSL is one of the best parts of Windows. It's really powerful and well integrated to Windows. Since I still can't leave for pure Linux install, I'm glad for WSL.

I hate using Excel for this reason. ALMOST all functions are translated, so you're never sure what to look for. If you find a solution for a problem online? Doesn't work, you'd have to rewrite it in your language. And you can't even switch the language in settings, because it's tied to the OS language (maybe you can in recent versions, haven't bothered to check for a while).

I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand
The box for HTC HD2 had <---- BIG ----> as dimensions of the phone. It had a 4.3" screen that actually was huge at the time (2009), but it's hilarious from today's perspective.

Check out Hetzner, a German cloud provider. Established, reliable and way cheaper than AWS.
I know migrating is nigh impossible for most large apps, but creating a new one on AWS/GCP/Azure is so shortsighted.
More people need to know about alternatives.

Since then I've upgraded the laptop so it actually runs on all screens. And I can switch to the desktop with a KVM.

That might be BumpTop 3D. I remember having lots of fun with it in the XP days. Apparently it was acquired by Google at some point, and later open sourced.

quiet quitting is great and all, but have you tried chaotic working?
Reply in thread
The term 'Quiet quitting' in this context is not about quitting your job without complaining.
Quiet quitting refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary.
