Didn’t Microsoft start this with the “My Computer” icon on Windows 95?
Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

Yeah, you need a sudo in front of it otherwise it won’t work.


ITYM Google Docs.


Maybe the Android Authority one mentioned as the source in the article? https://www.androidauthority.com/android-17-app-lock-notifications-rumor-3630983/
Both have their names on RFCs and have developed many of the protocols we all use. To give them credit, the R&D backend side of things they are both pretty good at.
I’m not sure the research teams have anything to do with business models, or indeed research for what users actually want.
It got away with it due to period accuracy (and it had a decent plot too).
Now move that to a modern setting and it feels icky and gratuitous.


Yes. Was that question aimed at me?


I think it’s the same issue when watching any content from abroad. You need a broadcaster or streamer that operates in your country to pick up the rights.
When we were in the EU there was some discussion about using subscriptions from other EU countries, although I don’t remember how much that extended to BBC content. Not that it’s relevant now anyway.
PS you could DX it OTA from the North coast.


Unfortunately this is the correct answer ^^^
To overcome anxiety you have to do the things that make you anxious. The best way is to do them now, the thinking time just increases the anxiety, and putting stuff off reinforces the fear.

No. Thinking about it terrifies me. I can’t comprehend nonexistence, and trying to make sense of it ties me in knots.


Is this as a child, teenager or adult?
If adult, that’s definitely not normal.
Child/teen I can see good reasons why they might.
For me the answer is never, but I was goody two-shoes and boring, so there was nothing of interest to find.


The problem with customisable selected state icons, is the inconsistency in the select state. Means it isn’t always immediately obvious whether something is selected or not. WB 2.04+ added borders around the icons to resolve this. Most of the time you don’t need them though, especially if people stick to the more modern GlowIcons style.
But otherwise, Workbench/Intuition did nearly everything right in terms of UI design. Close gadget nowhere near anything else you’re going to click on, menus at the top (pointer constrained by the screen, makes it easier to get to the menus), windows that don’t come to the front as soon as you look at them (makes it easier to rearrange windows the way you want them). If you want something full screen it can go on its own screen, and if something is multi window they can all be grouped together on their own screen.


Window drag bars shouldn’t be full of clutter.
Yeah, I’m looking at you especially Microsoft, with random toolbar buttons, search box (!), and lord knows what else crammed into the drag bar of your applications. So much so that there’s very little actual drag bar to grab should I (gasp) actually want to move the window somewhere else.
Which brings me onto windows should not all be full screen. Especially with the size and resolution of modern monitors, there’s no reason to have everything full screen all the time. But, from what I’ve seen, most people do. I think this is why drag bars are increasingly being filled with garbage. And probably why lots of apps seem to be designed to only run full screen size.


I do wonder whether the text next to the toggles changes depending on the state of the toggle. It seems to be arbitrary whether they do or not, leaving me unsure as to what the toggle actually does.


Swipe from the side to go back can be really annoying, if you’re trying to highlight text from the side or do some other operation that Android decides is a swipe from the side. I’m forever going back when I don’t want to.


After not knowing for ages, I recently discovered it was pronounced pooned. The W is pronounced the same as in Welsh.*


Evercade has the advantage of a huge software library to draw from (they have a few native games but the majority are emulated), whereas this will only run it’s own software, which puts it at a disadvantage.
Mind you, the Playdate seems to be going well.


This picture isn’t very clear, but I saw this similar coffee machine:

(if you can’t read it, the display says “poo”)


Try aidungeon - it does exactly this.
It doesn’t anymore. I think they dropped the My with Vista? Certainly it was gone by Windows 7.
