When did you last use Connect? All of these apps are improving fast. Right now, I prefer Connect.

Microsoft is adding extensive archive format support (using libarchive) to Windows 11. I'd like to thank 7-zip for its service over the decades, though.

NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems 😁

Furthermore, apps using the unicode versions of functions (which all apps should be doing for a couple decades now) have 32kb maximum character length paths.

Will there be redgifs support?
Reply in thread
What do mean? It's used pretty extensively.
What people call GIFs these days are almost always not actually GIFs. GIFs will usually have high dithering due to it using an 8-bit color palette and an odd frame rate because the per-frame delay is specified in jiffies so you can't really get normal framerates (especially high ones).
What dethroned GIFs was the <video> HTML element. The video format doesn't matter.

Sync for Lemmy pre-registration is now open

As I understand it, LJ gave another developer his blessing to take a stab at Sync for iOS (I imagine with some sort of financial arrangement) but development had been very slow, and it never left TestFlight.

is there any chance we can migrate our Sync for Reddit layout to Sync for Lemmy?
People have reported it working but @ljdawson has warned against using old backups so make sure you make a fresh backup to import from.

Pretty sus

Thingiverse was stagnant and underdeveloped for many years and borderline unusable at times, so a lot of people feel pretty strongly about migrating to other sites.

The book that contains the story Arrival is based on, Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang, is my favorite short story collection.
Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkey House is also a good short story collection.

The birth of id Software - In 1990, John Romero, John Carmack, and Tom Hall were working at Louisiana software maker Softdisk. There, they had an idea that would change PC games forever.

Masters of Doom is an amazing book about id's history. Not like, "good for a video game book". A legitimately good book for anyone.

The latest release added Lemmy support but it's pretty basic. It just let's you browse a specific instance as a timeline.

Lemmy.world just upgraded to 0.18 a couple of hours ago. Still a little sluggish but has improved significantly over the last half hour.

I've read that a high-end electrical tape like Scotch Super33+ doesn't leave residue, but I've never tried it myself.

If you're talking about the more limited set of options you get when you right click a file in Windows 11, just hold shift while right clicking to get the original options. You've actually been able to hold shift to get additional options going way back, I think to windows XP.
There's a lot of extra useful options in there too like opening command prompts to the current folder and copying file paths to the clipboard.
