So dumb that windows hides the file extension as default.
I feel like that’s long been a trend- instead of trying to lift users up and educate them, let’s just give up and hide things.
It’s really easy to over estimate the Windows user base. I have a family member who has gotten so pissed that the start menu moved from the left to the center that she refuses to use it. Functionality is more or less the same but apparently that’s enough for her to not want to use Windows 11.
And no she won’t use Linux.
She hates when Facebook changes it’s UI and stopped using that a few years ago (probably a good thing).
Heh, that sounds like… me.
Yeah, I know it can be moved. But what I missed more was fullscreen start menu. Then again, my favorite Windows version is 8.1.I was also postponing updates (for months) when there was a switch from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6. And I wish I could have kept it for a while on Arch, but partial upgrades always eventually catch up on me.
my favorite Windows version is 8.1.
First thing I do is unhide file types now since I grew up in the limewire era.
The fact that Windows hides file extensions by default is just absolute insanity to me.
Another fucking stupid default
Limewire is the new beans on Lemmy or something? This is the 7th Limewire post in 2 days…
Lemmy is in danger of growing stale. We’re taking it to strange new places.
Mate, you’ve only been here for 14 days.
I never fell for mp3.exe, but I did install Real Player and use the built in browser once.
I learned how to remove a Trojan virus that copy pastes itself into a few directories before mom got home from work at 9 years old.
People wonder why I know so much about computers, a large part was fucking up the expensive family PC repeatedly.
I feel like that’s the case for a lot of our generation
How times have changed. I used to have print outs in my filing cabinet with virus removal guides from all the various times I contracted digitally transmitted diseases online.
