Hahaha yees! The start menu search is hilarious!! You install a software, type in the exact bame of the software afterwards and the start menu search gives you the installer from your download folder instead of the installed program with the exact name you typed. The devs must have a lot of fun there. This is peak satire.

Yes, XP was pretty great too! Can't say much about 95, we switched from DOS directly to 98 back then, which crashed all the time. I heard good things about 98SE though.

Absolutely not. First win10 release already tried to force me into using a microsoft account, had adware and trial crap preinstalled, the terrible settings windows situation, borderline unusable start menu search function, hard to disable cortana bullshit, etc. etc.

Seriously, the speed in which windows is getting worse since after win 7 is almost comical.

Honestly I found them especially funny because there were so many very different ones in a row xD

Hahaha so true

I'm administering a wiki.js instance. Despite it being written in node, it's a pretty nice wiki with a lot of modern features builtin. The only other wiki I've ever setup and used was mediawiki, which is obviously a complete legacy php clusterfuck where you need add-ons (which are terrible to install and configure) for everything.

Very comprehensible considerations! I'd love to study another field, just expanding my expertise and having a good time with fewer responsibilities than I have today. But giving up my family? No way! Blue pill it is.

I tried jerboa, voyager (formally known as wefwef) and eternity and settled for voyager. It just feels very smooth, has all the functionality I need and looks clean. No reason to look further for me.

All bluetooth headphones should work.

Basic trigonometry is super useful and not that hard to understand or memorize.

Seriously, who on earth uses facebook? Lol

The only website on this graphic that has some actual value (apart from the fediverse of course) is youtube.

I think you could even get rid of the iter() and the collect() since it's a small fixed size array.

Hahaha sometimes religious people are hilarious

Not sure about the last one honestly, but otherwise yes!

I knew it!! It's a very typical unemotional style. I think GPT learned a lot from corporate communication xD

Hahaha suuure. I mean that's what the großaktionärs and their pathetic lobbyists tell you, so it has to be true, right? I mean, why would they possibly lie to you about something that makes them richer and all workers poorer?! The actual reasons why german wirtschaft suffers are not related in the slightest to Arbeitnehmerrechte. There are many reasons, here are just some of them:

1. HUGE lack of staatliche Investitionen (that's the main difference to the wirtschaftlich successfull states in the world). This is something that piled up during the last decades actually, because the former regierungs were even worse in this regard that the current one, basically destroying whole industries that could have had a bright economic future in this country. Instead, the current FDP dullis that run our Regierung mostly gift 39Mrd. to Unternehmen (by lowering their Steuers) which mainly benefit said Großaktionärs (who don't spend the money so it's not in the Wirtschaftskreislauf at all) and only lead to approx 11 Mrd. of private investments by those Unternehmen. So it would have been much more productive to invest that money directly as Regierung.
2. Dumb as fuck decisions by EZB to raise Zinsen through the roof (because they don't understand the difference between a temporary Energiepreis-Schock and Inflation), making private and public investments more expensive and thus hindering them.
3. Low wages leading to low Kaufkraft in Mittelschicht, leading to very little Konsum, which in turn becomes a problem for local Wirtschaft.
4. (Not a small point): External factors like china not buying as many cars from our zurückgebliebene Autoindustrie anymore (that completely fucked up by trying to milk their last century dampfmaschinen technology for ever, missing the anschluss)

How can you even use a system with only 3 browsers installed? Quick, install edge! Also don't forget brave, the famous crypto scam that looks like a browser and is run by a homophobe asshole.

Unfortunately that support would be worthless if only firefox does it.

Python is actually mostly strongly typed. Strongly (e.g. can't use a number as a string without explicitly converting it), but dynamically (can change type of variable at runtime). You probably would prefer a statically typed language and I agree.
