Oh wow, and only two and a half years after Windows 11 was released. Better late than never, I guess. I should have heeded the age-old warning of "every other major Windows release is terrible" and not upgraded.
> Ensuring some minimal level of architectural consistency on a dense city block is a good thing.
Check zillow. Of the 32 units for rent in Brooklyn Heights, the cheapest is a tiny $2,600/month studio. The median rent is $4,500/month, and that's for an apartment with one bedroom and one bathroom.
No, I don't think allowing a 200 year old private rule to reduce living space in an age of incredible housing scarcity is good. I could not care less about your architectural consistency when it is part of the reason why people are sleeping on the streets and others are paying most of their income on rent.
There were a lot of regressions that upset me. The option for seconds in the system time was removed. Right-clicking the WiFi/internet connection in the taskbar no longer has the context menu option for "Troubleshoot connection", forcing me to go to options, search Troubleshooters, click "Other troubleshooters" (Because troubleshooting internet is so uncommon, right?) and THEN troubleshoot the internet connection.
From what I read, Microsoft let some designers who only use Mac OS do the design, and they plowed ahead despite hearing extremely reasonable concerns that their OS developers had with some design decisions.
This would be great. It's odd to me that we in the US get the worst of both worlds: despite at-will employment laws and almost no employment contracts, it's difficult to get hired because companies are so afraid of bad hires, and companies don't exercise their right to fire people who don't work out.
> Yes, Minimal runs on Android, allowing you to download and use essential apps. However, the e-ink display and device optimization are geared towards minimizing unnecessary distractions.
That answers the only question I had about this. You still get full access to every app you need, it just increases the friction (via the low refresh rate and the lack of colors) so you can't doomscroll.
Unfortunately, it does not list Bluetooth among its many wireless features, so I don't think I'd be able to use it. Not having music or podcasts in the car or on a run is a dealbreaker.
Click on any mod, and you can see the decompiled source. The mods use function hooking to run before or after certain functions are called rather than the event based system you see in Minecraft plugins.
> It's all fun and games until you hit version n+1 or n+2, and often realize how slow many customers are to upgrade the library.
Given how frequently needless breaking changes are made, or features are removed and paywalled, I would consider this a feature rather than a bug. Sometimes I have higher priorities than working to support someone else's breaking changes.
Two years ago, I was using an official library for interfacing with a video chat service, and they decided to break the underlying API without updating their library, so I had to rewrite the library myself.
