@Extelec The only reason to keep #Windows is software compatibility. If you need to switch to #LibreOffice or #OnlyOffice, you might as well replace Win10 with #Linux and get a secure, fully patched OS

also in #macOS #homebrew (and also available for #linux and #windows; including a #raspi image) is #Companion which is part of a family of tools for interacting with your computers using the #StreamDeck devices but get this — Companion can virtualize one and give you a panel you can plumb up to other software and peripherals like pedals and knob/dials from the looks of it.

#broadcasters, #streamers and people that lead seminars or workshops may be way into it. video: https://youtu.be/Xn95LuF6x6I

Ghostwriter is an incredible, powerful, and yet simple #markdown editor. It has a clean user interface, and makes editing markdown so easy. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I am. It runs on #Linux, #Windows, and #MacOS. https://youtu.be/O_yIPQOPQxA

Thought we'd revisit a classic. At least now you get to think of fun TLJ songs whenever Windows is making sounds at you :)

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This one is of Odyssey-tan, a rare character representing the canceled Windows Odyssey. Though she’s not as widely drawn as other OS-tans she is seen in artworks alongside friends like Windows 97, Moseko, and Neptune.

Her first appearance remains unknown

Artwork of Windows Odyssey-tan, an anthropomorphized representation of the Windows Odyssey operating system. The character is dressed in a futuristic outfit with a predominantly blue and white color scheme, featuring geometric patterns and technological motifs. The character wears a long coat with a high collar, an orange tie, and thigh-high boots with intricate designs and glasses

A comic featuring two characters, Windows Odyssey-tan and Windows 2000-tan. Windows Odyssey-tan is depicted in color on the right side, wearing a blue and white outfit with red headband and a yellow disk. She has blue hair and glasses. Windows 2000-tan is shown in the comic panels on the left side, wearing a similar outfit and glasses. The comic panels show a conversation between the two characters. Windows Odyssey-tan praises Windows 2000-tan for her work, but Windows 2000-tan responds with a resigned expression, mentioning that she will soon be obsolete

A colorful illustration featuring five anime-style characters, each representing different versions of the Windows operating system. The background is divided into four colored sections: green, red, blue, and orange.

The character in the top left, Neptune-tan, has teal hair, wears a visor, and has a futuristic appearance. The character in the bottom left, Odyssey-tan, has blue hair, a halo, and a clerical outfit. The character in the bottom right, Moseko (Windows MCE), has blonde hair, cat ears, and glasses. The character in the top right, one of the XP-kun, has red hair and an angry expression. Next to XP-kun, Windows 97-tan is depicted with brown hair styled in two braids

I have just discovered a new way to torture Windows users.

Apparently, if “Sticky Keys” is enabled from the login screen, the effect will persist throughout the rest of the system.

However, since they were enabled there, neither the Settings app nor the Control Panel detect that it’s active, making it impossible to disable it from anywhere other than the login screen.

I spent some time trying to understand what was going on with my work computer today.

I think I'm nearly ready to release the first version of wpm - a process manager for #Windows inspired by my experiences using #systemd and #NixOS, written in #Rust

Setting up custom desktop environments and complex local development environments on Windows is about to get a whole lot easier - goodbye Docker!

With the #Windows 11 update I got yesterday the taskbar became usable again without using Explorer Patcher: No grouping windows together and always show text, not just the icon.

Also I can now show just the windows from that screen in the taskbar (which Explorer Patcher could not do I think) ... so Windows 11 catches up to the first Kubuntu version I used in 2006.
