This makes no sense to me what so ever. Why do any apps care about where the taskbar is? How’s it any different when a window isn’t maximised and the user resizes it? Either I’m seriously misunderstanding this or it’s a completely made up excuse.

I’d rather they just say “we completely rewrote the taskbar, but we know that less than 0.01% of users move their taskbar so we didn’t prioritize it”.

To me the bigger issue with the taskbar is that you can’t make it compact. Instead it has to be a big chunky mess.

Na winter can absolutely jog on. Give me my warm days and lots of sunlight.

Normalise down voting posts with this bullshit censorship.

Imagine the possibilities!

• Sausage roll warmer
• Car windscreen defroster

When you log into the console and all your shits gone and you start to have a mild panic, when you suddenly realise it’s switched you to a different region.

28 pounds = 12.7kg, for those wondering.

It is kinda annoying when you’re in a rush and need something right there on the spot, but it says it has to update before you can use it, and then you’re there for what feels like an eternity.

Agreed, but other cloud providers exist and it would be good if there was stronger competition in this space. But going back to self hosting is a huge step back and I think if a CTO said they were going to move from the cloud back to a self hosted solution, pretty much everyone would hate it.

Bit of an over-reaction to one incident. I’d be willing to bet the uptime, reliability and scalability of AWS is significantly better than what the vast majority of in-house solutions could do. It’s absolutely not worth going back.

Millions of customers using AWS also weren’t affected - the company I work for certainly wasn’t, although some of our tools like Jira were.

I don’t care enough to warrant spending any little free time I have fucking about installing a different OS and with all the challenges it would come with.

From a UK perspective:

The pensioners would never vote for party that would introduce something like this. They HATE the idea of younger generations getting “free money”. Honestly they’re the real problem. But they’re the demographic that vote the most and have a huge sway.

Just don’t point out to them how their triple locked pensions are probably the biggest financial cost to our [UK] country…

Technology has been replacing manual labour for a long time, this is hardly surprising. Some jobs will be created though as the robots need monitoring and maintenance.

Why would they have to come in at 7am?

Man’s so high he can’t even narrow down his own age range

@cm0002@lemdro.id Did you take this pic yourself? I’ve seen this same sign also at a maize maze and wondering if it’s the same place!

I think it’s an introvert vs extrovert thing. For introverts, silence is the default and lots of talking is draining. For extroverts, silence is unnerving and makes them uncomfortable, and conversations energises them.

I’m guessing that character is a native button on their keyboard? Otherwise surely it’s more work to get that character vs just typing “th”

Really it depends on the individuals and what their home and office environments are like. I work from home 95% of the time and much prefer it over being in the office, but if I lived in a house share with housemates or had very little space then I’d probably feel more productive in the office.

One thing I do miss about commuting is the return journey. It was nice to have a gap to decompress from work before getting home, now it’s straight off calls and 10 seconds later I’m dealing with a trillion questions from the kids and immediately start cooking dinner.

This was probably more expensive.

Well it would be rather irresponsible to leave the kids at home alone.
