This particular release didn’t seem to add much to the core app in terms of features, but it’s nice to see they’re putting work into making the rest of the ecosystem better.
The thing I’m really hoping they fix is the Find / Select feature gap to help power users:
Find & Select support | Find String | Find Regex |
---|---|---|
& Select every match | Supported! | Supported! |
& Select which match | Supported! | No Support |
I made a bug for it: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/212562
Besides that, and maybe better modal support (for improved vi mode, or alternate modes like kakoune/helix), I’m not really seeing any notable feature gaps anymore, which is great!
At least it was better than the developer survey that was only about AI. That one still makes me facepalm just thinking about it.
Because: “The dose makes the poison”.
In other words, any chemical—even water and oxygen—can be toxic if too much is ingested or absorbed into the body. The toxicity of a specific substance depends on a variety of factors, including how much of the substance a person is exposed to, how they are exposed, and for how long.
Shouldn’t you have an adblocker to block those scripts?
Are you using the group policy editor?
Why would I leave windows if Linux isn’t offering anything better?
Because Linux offers an ad-free experience, whereas Windows offers a free ads experience.
No mouse and like games like MaM/Civ?
Recommendation for slower paced, top down strategy game:
Recommendation for hard and fast paced game (audio required):
Recommendation for story based game:
I’m not seeing anything in the data collected that I wouldn’t want to be sent if the app crashed.
You were literally responded by suggesting they use their laptop’s HID, then suggested a wired mouse which they said they didn’t have, then suggested using the console which the install process doesn’t advertise as a possibility to the user.
Poor UX is a bug, it needs to be updated.
That’s an obviously poor take. If only laptop users could get past the screen then it’s still broken.
What stopped the install process working without a mouse?
Surely they’d have a keyboard navigation method.
Presenting: an excerpt from my lua windows management script:
-- Exists because lua doesn't have a round function. WAT?!
function round(num)
return math.floor(num + 0.5)
end
Yeah, not a fan.
It seemed pretty clear to me that the article states that css is doing it’s job and it’s actually fonts that are the problem
Luckily for you, there’s not a vaccine for stupidity.
Nah, sourcetree has annoying bugs that never get fixed.
Use Fork, it’s a better sourcetree.
It’s free the same way that Sublime Text is: They’ll ask for a payment once a month, but you can say you’re “evaluating it” and use it for free. If you like it enough, you can pay for it. I have.
The windows 11 teams runs better, but if you’re using a school or work account, you need to use the old AngularJS+Electron version, or the new React+Webview2 version.
So for the time being, the Windows 11 teams is more catered for personal use only. It’s kind of like a modern reboot of Microsoft’s old MSN Messenger. It was included in Windows 11 (rebranded as “Chat”) but it’s been unbundled from Windows 11 installs and I think rebranded again. But not having the school/work account support means not a lot of people use it.
The transition between the AngularJS+Electron version and the React+Webview2 versions is happening now. At some point soon, anyone who is running an OS too old to run the new teams will be forced to use the browser version.
So after their transition, we’ll have to wait and see if they add the school/work account support to the native version because everyone using teams right now only uses those accounts.
There’s a reason Teams is/was shit.
The first teams was written in AngularJS (which is a slow to run resource hog, but fast to develop) wrapped in Electron. It was kind of a minimum viable product, just to build something quickly to get some feedback and stats on what people needed.
The plan was to build a new native version of teams and build it into the next windows while having an web fallback (built on react) for everyone else.
They stopped working on the original teams and started working on the new versions.
They got half-way through working on the native and react versions when suddenly, covid happened.
They couldn’t keep working on the new versions because they wouldn’t be ready for a while, so they had to go back and resume development on the old one, introducing patch after patch to quickly get more features in there (like more than 2 webcam streams per call).
Eventually covid subsided and they were able to resume development on the new teams versions.
Windows 11 launched with a native teams version (which has less features but runs super quick), and the new react based teams (which can now be downloaded in a webview2 wrapper) has been in open beta since late last year (if you’ve seen the “Try the new Teams” toggle, then you’ve seen this). The React+Webview2 teams will replace the AngularJS+Electron version as the default on July 7th.
Looking back at history, it would lead to more propaganda and more support for going to war.
A population getting attacked only leads to that population wanting to an us vs them mentality and emotional knee-jerk reactions over rational responses.
