    MS is getting so thirsty it’s pathetic. All the Win 11 garbage and now this. It’s sad really.

      I develop software that runs on Windows, so I have to use it to some degree. I would pay so much money for an officially-supported version that lets me cut out all the shit I don’t need and not deal with stupid thirst tricks. For the longest, I just ran Windows Server in a VM.

            Lemmy (as in the default frontend) requires an extra caret at the end of superscripts: ^or^ ^the^ ^ports^ ^of^ ^the^ ^bay^

            not a bot, but at this point I might make one

              Huh, looks fine to me

              edit: checked in browser and yours looks fine in that, but in my app it adds an extra ^
