Why I use KDE

Over the decades, my primary operating system of choice has changed a few times. As a wee child of six years old, we got out first PC through one of those employer buy-a-PC programs, where an employer would subsidize its employees buying PCs for use in the home. The goal here was simple: if people get comfortable with a computer in their private life, they'll also get comfortable with it in their professional li

Oh, that can't be good. I remember Hurricane Matthew having an evil face on satellite infrared as well.



Easy to follow guide for admins to increase the number of poll options. Even simpler once you upgrade to 4.3.

What's the best way to say thanks to @stefan for writing this up? (I would have added more options, but M.S. doesn't allow it...)

Oy! For those of us who use a hosting service, I wish Mastodon would provide a web UI for some of these parameters in the Admin settings. Poll options and especially the character limit.



Another one bites the dust: Microsoft buries WordPad, but there is an afterlife


"WordPad users who want to keep using it after updating to Windows 11 24H2 can do so by simply saving Wordpad.exe, wordpadfilter.dll, and write.exe. The first two are located in the C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories folder, while the last can be found in C:\Windows."

Does anyone still use it? I just use markdown if I want basic formatting, otherwise I use Libreoffice.
in reply to cmnybo

They have to kill it. Otherwise, some "cheapskate" might decide they don't need to pay for MS Word, or get spied on by having all their data in the cloud using MS Office Online.

Or they just think there's no reason to keep it around.

in reply to cmnybo

I use it to maintain a simple readme.doc for my Windows software. The logic was it should look the same to anyone with Windows even if they don't have Word or OpenOffice.
in reply to cmnybo

I know million dollar machines that ship without MS office, but with Openoffice (!). The problem is, the Software can copy graphs to the clipboard in WMF (or something like that) that neither the super old Openoffice nor a recent Libreoffice can import. So wordpad is the only ootb software able to use the data.

Their reason is that 90% of their customers have an office subscription anyways...
