You are right, it shouldn't have to be something I deal with at the moment. It's just frustrating yknow? How we are so much more concerned about other issues that are much more meaningless than something that is extremely dire like climate change. I visited Toronto, Canada around a year ago now. The state I live in here in the states barely does recycling anymore. They only allow #1 Plastic, Aluminum Cans, cardboard, paper. Everything else gets thrown in the trash. In Toronto, we recycled pretty much everything that didn't have a toxic chemical on it. It was great! (who knows if it was ACTUALLY recycled though) Recycling feels good for me. When I know I am doing something that is actually helping I feel good about it. That's why seeing protections like this dissolve and countries continue to downplay its importance, it's disappointing.

I never really assumed every country followed... I'm just tired. I knew that the US barely even followed it so practically it doesn't make much of a difference. I'm just tired of climate change being a debate. I'm tired of the world being this constant step forward and step back. Maybe that's just a US specific thing. Climate change is something I will have to deal with as I get older, and especially generations that come after me. I kinda liked getting lots of snow in the winter.

I can count the amount of countries on one hand that are not a part of it. Absolutely bonkers.

I'm tired boss.

Copilot has been failing miserably as well, too. Microsoft wants to rename it to Windows AI / Intelligence, and business companies aren't really finding it that interesting. Plus, most OEMs are just opting for Google's AI. Microsoft has failed (once again!) to get into the AI / Assistant space. I expect Copilot to eventually go the way of Cortana at some point.

macOS, Linux, and Windows all typically will just cache random files, programs, etc. that it predicts could be used at some point. It's just to make things feel a bit faster so they don't have to always access the disk. with Windows its superfetch, essentially just preloads apps in memory so they don't have to 100% open from disk when you open them of course, it shouldn't use all your memory so programs have some room for memory they need to allocate later

With Proton, it already pretty much does. As of late any problems are usually caused on purpose, mostly by anti-cheat software. That is a whole different problem, and there really isn't a solution.

It is important to note that MS recommends nowadays to make apps in the Windows App SDK. It allows them to produce apps compatible with the MS Store and the MSIX packaging style to install itself "like" a UWP app. But it is not a UWP app. WASDK apps can be made using either Win32 (GDI32/USER32 API) or .NET (WPF/WinForms API). This is why pre-existing apps can just be added to the Store as they have already been made in Win32 style. Honestly it was a good choice on their part; it helps unify "UWP" (which was more notable as just WPF apps), and Win32 apps. As far as performance, both are pretty much the same. Win32 uses C++ (or anything really, if you use the bindings), and .NET uses C#. As far as how easy it is, undoubtedly it is easier for a novice programmer to learn .NET than to learn Win32. Win32 is archaic, and while that does not make it worse (in fact, it could be more performant), it makes it less appealing as once again, time = money, and whichever saves the most amount of money is what MS will pick. .NET is easier and quicker to produce apps in. The performance problem with Windows 11 is a result of the transitional period of moving everything to use WASDK. It is an amalgamation of decades worth of APIs and ways to make an app, and MS took this long to hopefully even decide on an app format they will keep. Windows 7 still remains the last version they produced that was unified, and retained one main format to make apps. Windows 8 added UWP, and Windows 10 smashed them all together into a melting pot. Windows 11 added another one and just fueled the fire that is the melting pot of app formats. TL;DR: Performance issues on Windows 11 are a result of years of indecisive choices of what app format MS wants developers to use. Windows right now is atrocious, taking the time to learn Linux and alternatives to software you use is so worth it and your sanity.

web dev is 100% easier and cheaper to do, understanding HTML/CSS/JS is an "easier" and more cross platform thing to know than to understand the whole .NET ecosystem the issue in my opinion is the easiest choice isnt always the best choice, but in the corporate world, whichever is the fastest and easiest, will save the most money

I program in C#, and it is amazing to use. I like it, and I wish more developers would use it over opting with a web app. Also, it's optimized fairly decently (not as good as C, better than Python), but if you use the NativeAOT introduced recently, its identical to C performance. Most of the issues in Windows 11 are involving things that have been hacked together or are web applications. Don't understand why OOBE couldn't be a .NET app instead of an Edge page. We don't need that running cross platform

My biggest issue with Windows 11 surprisingly was more the AI features being added. I was able to tolerate it until Recall (Intelligence?) was added. That drove me away, and I've been using openSUSE for the past few months now. Only thing I am missing are two games.

Never thought I would find this topic here, put ill input my view: I'd like mine back too.

Linux is honestly such a solid choice today if you're open to learning how the command line works. Linux also works on pretty much anything that is x64, so why not? I've been on and off using Arch Linux, plus I own a macbook now, I've been able to go months without having to touch a Windows system. And to be honest, it feels good.

Looks like someone else bought the domain, and is now using it to advertise casinos.
