I’ve been waiting for a second gen model for so long, but I got to admit that the wait is starting to get on my nerves. It better be soon!




can a UI designer (preferably one who works at microsoft) tell me why there's a link in windows settings labelled "changing taskbar colour", which opens a bing search in edge for "change windows 11 taskbar colour site:microsoft.com", with colours spelt the UK way, which shows zero results but has a suggestion box containing a button labelled "open colors setting", with colours spelt the US way, which opens a new tab which asks if you'd like edge to open settings, which opens the windows settings app to the colour personalisation page, only to have the "set taskbar colour" switch be greyed out
in reply to Lynnesbian

UI designer here, it's a mix of corporate greed (the Bing/Edge nonsense) and just bad UX design (you apparently have to switch the theme to "Dark" or "Custom" - if you select Custom you then have to switch "Windows mode" to dark first 💀 - for that toggle to get enabled from what I've seen, never used Windows 11 though)

This evening at 7:30 pm Eastern, Melissa will be holding our first Future Proof Plays in a couple months! This is our typically biweekly series where we stream an #IndieGame (not one we made) on twitch and discuss its game design as well as news from our studio.

Tonight, Melissa will be doing a short stream of Colestia's "A Bewitching Revolution" and possibly a second small game. Come hang out with us! Gregory will be in chat offering excellent insights. 🤩

A collaborator found out that the US State Dept is seeking public input on whether "satellite signature reduction" should be subject to ITAR regs.

Translation: should satellite operators who make their satellites fainter (in order to not destroy the night sky quite as much) be allowed to talk about how they did it?

So some of my collaborators and I put together a quick and easy template for you to email the US State Dept and tell them this shouldn't be secret info:

I think liberals consistently fail to understand how much US culture is saturated in a cowboy/gangster/disruption ethic that privileges risk over safety and greatness over equity.

There are virtues to this ethic. But it also comes with a legacy of brutality that is only too visible right now.

Thanks for writing this. I think chunks of it could apply to the "longing for days of Empire" mentality in the UK too, as espoused by the likes of Boris Johnson. I've often found it interesting that the heroes of that tribe tend to be explorers (Shackleton, Livinstone, Scott, etc) creating an analogous mythology to the wild west. Plenty to ponder.


At the time, I thought I missed focus because focusing with a Rolleinar is hard (it is). But now having discovered the focus was out of whack, I wonder if it wasn't just the camera 🤔

in reply to Joseph Teller

oh yeah... remember who he wants to be controlling things in regards to the CDC, etc. It will get MUCH worse... as in the CDC will be near useless under Trump this time. He plans on purging it, just like he wants to purge the joint chiefs of staff of the military, the FBI, the Education system etc. And the current speaker will do whatever he wants, if they can ram rod it thru.

Experimenting with moving some of my smart home stuff more "in-house" where it is handled in my local network without relying on internet services and involving more open source solutions has led me to a fun little experiment that helps with meetings in remote work, check out what I did and how I did it on my blog here nickmoline.com/2024/11/13/your…
