Welcome!

@munchkinbear @nycki96 @mcourcel @MariahL @SeveraSnape @FreakyFwoof Sure, if you understand how to read XML. My point is that getting yourself into this sort of posture where you download software at random, make changes to your operating system that do things like change the type of updates you'll receive, and register keys you're not familiar with, all to avoid using an interface that, however bad it may be, is going to be forced on you for all sorts of apps. is pretty risky. And I'm saying this as someone who has absolutely bailed Shane out of messes he has gotten himself into by pressing buttons to see what happens instead of taking any sort of methodical approach.

@nycki96 @munchkinbear @mcourcel @MariahL @SeveraSnape @FreakyFwoof Hope this helps.

@nycki96 @munchkinbear @mcourcel @MariahL @SeveraSnape @FreakyFwoof UWP stands for Universal Windows Platform, and it was used for developing apps that would run on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. It is no longer under active development, and so app developers are being asked to migrate their apps to WinUI, which allows for complete integration with things like the new Win11 context menus and other features like that. In cases like Spotify, Whatsapp, Telegram and similar, where apps need to work across platforms and it's cost-prohibitive to have developers and project managers ETC. who can develop a native app for each platform, (Windows, Mack, iOS, Android, ETC.), you build one app for the browser and you wrap it in something so it can run on all the things. In this case, the browser for the apps is Edge, which is still a resource hog. Deprication means that something has been retired and is no longer supported, and it typically referrs to functions or code libraries ETC.

@nycki96 @munchkinbear @mcourcel @MariahL @SeveraSnape @FreakyFwoof Just FYI that update is coming quickly, because the UWP deprication is a thing Microsoft is not budging on, and it affects all kinds of apps, not just Whatsapp.

@nycki96 @mcourcel @MariahL @SeveraSnape @FreakyFwoof OK I stand corrected, but, who's providing this file, and why are you adding keys to your registry from an xml file you can't verify? Do you even know what keys you're adding? I mean I'm not going to tell you what risks to take with your system, but major potential to tank the whole thing just to avoid a shitty interface. This kind of stuff is how you get yourself into trouble.

@munchkinbear @mcourcel @MariahL @SeveraSnape @FreakyFwoof There are, (checks notes): 9 instances of the new Whatsapp in my task manager, the web version in Chrome doesn't run any better, yes this and everything else that uses the Edge wrapper is a resource hog, and no there isn't a hacky way to get the old release back. We're stuck with the new one.

Yeah that. I mean it's long past any point where any of it could be adorable. And don't get me started on how she's all holier than thou about following the law and procedure, bla bla bla, until she needs someone to bend the rules for her because murder. That whole bit where she got mad at Mavis's friend because "didn't trust the totally amazing system" (TM) after all the times she's done end run-arounds all on her own.

The people using this slur know exactly where it came from and they know exactly what they're doing and they are just fine with its origin. And we should treat them accordingly.

The ECommerce situation for pretty much every blindness company is absolutely attrocious from the standpoint of actual ECommerce. Look I get that they can't just use something out of the box, but I know for a fact that if you take enough pride in your organization or even just give a damn about your users you can either learn how to set up all the moving parts of ECommerce properly on your own, or hire someone who knows how to do this accessibly. Hiring someone is not going to be cheap, because these are specialized skills, but that's true for any kind of ECommerce work. OK rant over and I hope you get your calendar.

Yeah go Balloo! That's my girl!

Also, as much sex as she engages in, and she's constantly uncessarily crude all the time, and then she has the nerve to complain about Peabody and McNab? Give me a break.

OK let's start with Eve. She's a bully who treats everyone around her like shit, she constantly weaponizes her childhood experiences and refuses to get the help she needs, she engages in emotional blackmail when she doesn't get her way and uses murder as an excuse for everything, she constantly threatens domestic violence against Rork whenever he does the slightest thing in public to indicate they're married. I love the supporting characters though, and so yes, we're continuing with the series. But she just really gets on my nerves, and the sex scenes are cringe. Also the whole not eating/not getting medical treatment when she needs it/not sleeping when she needs it is absolutely tiresome. She needs to quit acting like a fucking child. Hope that helps lol.

@technolass Yeah John really likes the series. I like the supporting characters, they're kind of fun, but I think he's more into the series than I am.

@technolass Yeah? Which one falls closer to mine?

Just about everything. I think you'd have to read the In Death novels, all of them, to get the full picture. I love the supporting characters though. The sex scenes, which are numerous in every book, are cringe though.
