Anyone remember Google Desktop? Did the job perfectly 20 years ago.
It always baffles me how long it takes for Windows to search for a file while the GNU's `find` command churns through filenames and paths like it's nothing.
The only issue is that these all run Windows…bloated, annoying, privacy intrusive in-your-face OS
I cannot imagine building on Microsoft in 2024. They have aggressively thrown their weight around doing anti-consumer moves. These are the warning signs they don't need to care about their customers and can fully exploit their market monopoly. I still have ads after an update in windows 11 pro. Not to mention I have file explorer bugs and one note path hijacking annoyances. Legacy software is why we still use windows…
Plenty. To base of your comment and the topic: Everything for file search, DOpus for a file manager are much better than anything any Linux can offer
Their "copilot" brand is so weird and... muddled. There's the AI code assistant thing that github actually started, there's the horrible chatbot maker GUI demoware, there's AI stuff you might be able to do with your sharepoint (if only you could get hold of the right ms sales rep to take your money), there's an app that does genai things on your personal MS account... And now there's a Surface rebrand? That org chart…
See the hellish naming and branding they've done with the .NET ecosystem... It is so convoluted, even people actively developing on their stacks would have and issue figuring out if they are downloading the right stuff.
Then there was the "Skype" and "Skype for Business" naming debacle.

> The vast majority of gamers game on smartphones and tablets with ARM processors. Those are clearly not the gamers I am talking about. The gamers I am referring too are not switching to playing on mobile phones. If they are switching to handheld devices they are going with x86 devices like the Steam Deck. There is a massive market out there of games that do not support those platforms. That are only just now scratch…
>Those are clearly not the gamers I am talking about. You specified gamers , you should have explicitly specified PC gamers if they are who you referred to. Note that PC gamers are, as much as they deny it, a minority of out of all gamers as a whole. The vast majority of gamers play on mobile or consoles, and of those mobile far outnumbers consoles too. Consoles can also switch processor architectures with the changi…
That didn't sound correct to me, and I found an article [0] that says the numbers are pretty similar.
I play some games on PC+PS5 and some on mobile, so I'd probably count as both a mobile and "legacy" gamer, but if I had to choose one gaming market to immediately disappear from the face of the earth, it would be mobile gaming for me, absolutely.

I hope gaming on Linux keeps getting better. I don’t see myself using anything beyond windows 10.
its pretty much peaked at this point. works with every game i've ever tried, new and old titles.

Windows Everything finds any file globally in the blink of an eye, let's you sort in real time by size/date, live-edit your query, and also perform operations on the result in the list, so much better that any find

I mean you literally work on Dotnet, don't you? That's probably why you don't have issues with the naming. I agree that it's currently fine now that it stabilized on the core naming scheme, but I don't see how it was very confusing when there's stuff like ASP.NET Core on framework, and ASP.NET Core on Dotnet core... that's just confusing, especially since other ecosystems don't usually have such a weird naming scheme…
It’s only problem in the eyes of HN because it is low-effort complaint from people who never used .NET and simply repeat what they read elsewhere. It’s just a popular thing to do, to make negative comments like this. Otherwise, this problem is completely made up in terms of anything that happened in last there-four years. And no, I don’t work on .NET save for a few simple contributions.
The internal codenames were better. If I say "Roslyn" it's a lot clearer what I'm referring to.

Is it not currently asp.net core?
ASP is an odd name to an old hat like me. Active Server Pages haven't been a thing in a while.
I have an application which only serves over GRPC. It has to pull in "Asp.Net" nuget packages, because that's the branding under which the Kestrel HTTP2 server lives.

Could you share a little more about your setup? I assume a linux host, and perhaps 2 GPUs with one per OS? I'm guessing it's a desktop build and not a laptop (iGPU+dGPU)? I've really wanted to switch fully to linux, but I still use some "power" features in MS Office which apparently don't play nice on linux. Dualbooting Fedora is decent... when I can understand what's happening and don't need to go 4 layers deep ever…
ryzen 3700 64GB(total), gentoo on NVME, nvidia 1060; windows on another NVME as a qcow (or whatever), nvidia 1070ti, 8 physical cores no HT, 32-48GB RAM. you have to disable the specific GPU you want to use for another OS in the kernel command line - this means you need two different spec/brand GPUs, probably. There were some tweaks that i could probably dig out eventually, but most of what i used to troubleshoot wer…
