Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 07/07/2023A lesson in how to not design dialogs. #uxdesign #assholedesign #darkpatterns 110
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 05/07/2023More to this: Had a cursed idea to write something equivalent to ValueStringBuilder using Memory<T> and it's actually faster than ArraySegment + MemoryStream?! 110
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 05/07/2023*Should a Microsoft Windows feed be created and ProtoBuild be ported* 000
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 05/07/2023McAfee is an OEM thing, pure installations from MS don't have it. 000
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023I was on Twitter, went to the address bar to type twitter dot com for some reason. 010
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023There's hope that migration wouldn't be as tedious as on Mastodon. 010
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023Threads apparently uses ActivityPub, which means it is compatible with Mastodon. Though I bet Mastodon server owners would block it. 000
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023Bluesky seems to be interested in implementing nomadic user identities though. 110
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023I kinda agree. It doesn't offer true server-user decentralization, something Bluesky is aiming to reach IIRC. 010
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023Currently Bluesky has only one instance (well you can try creating others) Mastodon has like thousands, each with different rules and different federation policies. 010
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023Full control as long as you are willing to do it. I've seen many small servers keep shutting down, which is the equivalent of banning everyone on that server. 120
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023I don't think I've seen Nostr servers at war with each other, since after all they are not connected. 100
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023They generally do suggest a default server. In addition, it doesn't look like the Bluesky people are going to pressure people into using alternative servers, which many on Mastodon do. 010
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023IIRC the culture really wants people to choose a small server rather than large ones. Federation after all. Let's see how long it takes for Meta's Threads to be blocked ;) 100
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2023Don't forget the catchphrase: "Just use another instance." 120
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 03/07/2023Windows Settings search broken and developers assuming Windows is Linux. 120
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 01/07/2023Managed to fail the application exams of 4 schools because I didn't do well on my literature. 100
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 19/06/2023May may occur again, but not May 2023, nor your past school years. Thanks to my classmates who has accompanied me over the years. Wish you all the best, and hopefully we will meet again. 010

Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 13/06/2023Special thanks: @ahmedwalid.bsky.social for telling me about the UWP winget app. 020
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 13/06/2023There is also a PowerShell module on winget-cli. In addition, the new Microsoft Store and Dev Home both make use of the Windows Package Manager COM APIs. 110
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 13/06/2023Microsoft has actually did that. For instance, the winget-cli repository includes a UWP client that directly interfaces with the COM APIs. 110
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 13/06/2023The actual package management is done by a COM server that is shipped alongside winget. That means, we can make our own program to interface with Windows Package Manager without having to go through winget.exe 110
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 13/06/2023Winget is, certainly, a very popular package manager for Windows (considering it is officially bundled with it), but the "winget.exe" executable is, actually, not responsible for the package management. 121
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 09/06/2023To be honest, you can already post a bunch of mentions though. 000
Dongle @roundadorner.bsky.social · 06/06/2023Literally saw this on my feed (since I follow HelpfulNotes) 000
