Really? D: That sucks, I use swipe navigation for everything. Not sure if it's classic or not but losing an option is a bummer.
Yeah, I disliked that when I saw the announcement too. I think the disconnect here is my Android flavour. Since I'm on Samsung, I still have 6 small round buttons at the top (Android 13, OneUI 5.1).
Android worse every year? How? Every update I've received (on a Samsung, mind you) has made my experience better.
I have a bad habit of jumping into programming without a solid plan which results in lots of rewrites and wasted time. Funnily enough, describing to an AI how I want the code to work forces me to lay out a basic plan and get my thoughts in order which helps me make the final product immensely easier.
This doesn't require AI, it just gave me an excuse to do it as a solo actor. I should really do it for more problems because I can wrap my head better thinking in human readable terms rather than thinking about what programming method to use.
Needs a seperate toggle for users and communities though.
For me? Recall. I'm ordering an SSD to dual boot Linux off of and ween myself off Windows as much as I can. Probably can't remove it as long as I want to play games* with friends, but I'd be happy to have my day to day be less awful.
* Before anyone says Proton, Wine, etc, I mean the awful multiplayer rootkits like Valorant.
Oh god, you reminded me. I had a run in with this recently because my parents got new laptops. 1TB hard drive, should be plenty right? NO! My mom had 15GB of files in her home folders and One Drive was whining constantly to pay them for more space.
It was about an hour of debugging to keep the files safe, extract One Drive from the home folder locations because it had dug in like a virus, and then (after 20 online searches and scouring forums) click the specific toggle in the specific menu to disable One Drive so it would use local files.
I paid for a 1TB computer, why are you forcing me to use your shitty online-only limited-space shit show. Fucks sake.
It's similar, but not the same. Most Linux distros require you to download a third-party program that people've never heard of. Windows gives you an all-in-one program from their official website, thus it's easy to trust. Arguably Linux's solution is better because you can use that program for multiple purposes. That and I think the trust factor is overblown as the distro will recommend the software and it's not hard to find people vouching for it, so if you trust the distro you may as well trust the program.
Training users to click on this shit is the same reason people wipe their desktop by ignoring "Yes I know what I am doing" warnings.
Ah, perfect! I've always wanted Mozilla to become an advertising company....... said no one, ever.
How do you know someone isn't vegan? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
It's almost like that is exactly what KillingTime said two parent comments ago......
