I'm a windows user. I have windows on 3 computers. The only devices that don't run windows are an ipad and an android phone.

I don't understand why I'd want the windows 11 experience anywhere I wasn't forced to have it. I heard they may soon restore some of the features they took away from the start bar, though.

Hey that’s how Windows 8 went as well. Some dweeb convinces upper management that tablets are the future and the UI should turn be optimized for touch, then the .1 update rolls back some of the changes after MS realizes corporations still do work on normal desktops

Just want to shout out a couple of things.

One, it's great to see a hack project here that's been done just for the fun of it. I'm noticing a few comments questioning the "why?" around this. To me at least, it's just a really fun thing to do to hack together something, just because. There doesn't always have to be a rhyme or reason for things like this.

Two, it felt like there was a period where sites that would host hack projects with no limitations was slowly dying out. Not just because of costs but also because of the associated risks with it (spam, phishing, etc). I really do love what Vercel is enabling here. When I mentor younger folks, it's becoming really easy to tell them where to go throw up a hack project after they've learnt git and Vercel is fast becoming The choice to send them to. Much kudos and gratitude to the team there.

I kind of find the excessive usage of emoticons and such distracting.

I find it delightful but I understand why others don’t. Given this is such a common complaint specifically about GitHub/similar source hosts’ READMEs, it feels like low hanging fruit for a probably simple browser extension to hide them.

I have been using ExplorerPatcher ever since I jumped to 11. It lets me choose my favorite unholy blend of both Windows 10 and Windows 11 task bars.

Why not? People have been recreating GUI and terminal experiences on the web in a bunch of creative ways since they’ve had the APIs or imagination available to do so. It’s one of the cool things that has transcended many of the things people don’t like about the web.
