False, italian has a word for toe that is separate from the fingers of the feet (alluce)

Don’t worry, Microsoft is going to let ai rewrite 1 million LOC from C to Rust per month per programmer and this will dramatically increase the quality https://www.thurrott.com/dev/330980/microsoft-to-replace-all-c-c-code-with-rust-by-2030

Unironically: https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1997279325876367719 (the biggest asshole in the world says that it’s in Europe best interest to disband and become many small states with no international influence, and Medvedev approves the message

Like a 4 years old: “but Mommy! At the kindergarten Kim said that he got an air carrier! I want one too!”

When I see something like this, I agree with my country 72% taxation on gas. If they had to pay $8 per gallon like us, they wouldn’t buy those monsters

Look at this video from 4 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGHokrbjlz8

I updated even on the beta version and at the beginning I was like “well it’s a beta, surely they will fix it”… Then it launched with the broken taskbar and I thought “surely this will be patched in a week” - it took TWO YEARS

The taskbar on windows 11 for the first two years didn’t support dragging and dropping on icons or opened applications. It was completely unusable

On one side I feel like “cool, they managed to find a spy on this sophisticated way”

On the other side I’m thinking what kind of intrusive keylogging malware did they install on all their employees laptops…

The ironic part is that they’re the only country of the world with a drawing of an hydroelectric plant on their emblem

When you think about having the taskbar on the right or the left, all of a sudden the reflow and the work that all of the apps have to do to be able to have a wonderful experience in those environments is just huge

It was working fine in windows 95. Suddenly all programmers became incompetent and can’t handle something like that?

In the launch version of windows 11 and for over TWO YEARS it didn’t even support drag&drop. It was working fine even on windows me

Tried that browser on Linux. It crashes when you save a file. It doesn’t let you click on the URL bar to edit it (only keyboard works). “If it compiles, it ships, no testing needed”

Even cars

Ford is cancelling their electric pickup because they will convert their ev battery factory in a factory that makes batteries for datacenters

Because Elmo is famous for his donations and philanthropy…

TIL there’s a new operating system that came out less than a year ago but already captured 5% of the market, passing ChromeOS and Linux

This stat is rubbish because they’re basing it on web views, and the millions of ai scraping bots are influencing it

No, don’t even buy LG.

I bought a dumb LG panel for my bedroom and I had to buy black enamel paint to go over the status LED. When the panel it’s off, the indicator LED it’s BRIGHT. BLUE. BLINKING. And it’s so powerful that I still see it because the light leaks from the small plastic vents. I also had to additionally insert a Shelly 1pm smart relay in the socket and program it with the logic “from 8pm to 8am if power usage is under 5 watts, cut the power; repeat the check every minute”

When the panel is on, instead, the status LED it’s off 🤷🏻‍♂️

AWS is incredibly expensive, if you’re hosting something like GitHub or Netflix on them instead of just owning the servers, you’re incredibly dumb

I Remember a decade ago i read a post on blogpost on exactly this

I wasted thirty minutes to search but I didn’t find it, but it was something like Michael Jackson was shocked to learn during his First tour in mainland china that the locals gave him the Hanzi 迈克尔·杰克逊 where the last character means “inferior” or something like that, instead in Taiwan the locals chose 麦可·杰克森 which has a better meaning.

Yes, it’s hidden somewhere in the disk and it’s a normal font file, otherwise

It’s in AppData\Local\Microsoft\FontCache\4\CloudFonts\

It’s not only Aptos, office 365 expands the font selection with ~100 exclusive “cloud” fonts that are hidden to other non-microsoft apps

My take on Aptos is that they designed it to make alternative office suites less compatible. Until now, when you installed Microsoft Office, its fonts were available system wide, so by installing Office 2007 or greater, it would make Calibri available for any other office suite on the system.

But now Aptos is an exclusive of Office 365. Without hacks, the font can only be used in the latest versions of Microsoft Word, and LibreOffice on the same system can’t load it, forced to replace it.

People will think “what the hell, when I open word files with LibreOffice, It changes the font, LibreOffice is not good”
