fart simpson posted:anyone test out the new windows subsystem for linux supporting linux applications with a gui on windows 11? i use it a fair bit, it's pretty good but has some annoying bugs (e.g. window focus has some strange behaviours at times, and in a new window a key sometimes acts as held down until pressed again). my impression that anything wayland works great, but xwayland brings dune of these issues. it is fast and pretty transparent though, so optimistic that a few bugfixes and it'll be real good.

I hate with outlook how inevitably I often end up searching through massive threads and because one email had a word every copy of the thread will come up and it's impossible to determine why. (Also if an attachment is a hit I don't think it will even tell you that or which one it is which is absolutely infuriating.) On the other hand the way gmail shows previews when you search is actually pretty half-assed too. It seems like google has kind of killed progress in a Microsoft-ish fashion where once gmail dominated the market they stopped bothering to improve it and nobody can compete with it so email will never improve ever again (if there's actual competition they'll probably buy it and kill it). My other complaint with both of them is that it's way to inconvenient to create tasks for yourself based on emails. In gmail I sometimes use the completely idiotic method of assigning labels based on days of the week just because it's so much faster than other methods of keeping track of stuff. mystes fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Dec 1, 2021 |
