4·3 months agoYeah, no worries. Someone else pointed it out to me recently.
I feel there’s a place for both of these. This is lightweight and focused on updates, whereas UniGet is a full-fratured app. Both have their benefits IMHO.

2·3 months agoAh, interesting. I’ll look into that at some point.

Everything I see online indicates that to have chocolatey handle an app it needs to be installed BY chocolatey; and that the “fix” is to uninstall and reinstall.

Visual C++ Redistributablepackages and stuff I had previously installed using an installer.It may not seem like much, but it’s a massive advantage for managing multiple computers in my family.

2·3 months agoAt this point, things like O&O ShutUp10++ and how Microsoft have left a ton of overrides for their horrible advertising/tracking/ai crap in for businesses to use in large scale deployments means you can actually get a really decent experience in Windows 11… It’s just not accessible to most people.
I recently installed Everything Search and, Command Palette plugin someone made for it, and this little gem to fix my last remaining gripe with it: the lack of a good search feature.

5·3 months agoYeah. It’s kind of surprising how many actually good things people at Microsoft have put out there that are just not advertised at all (cough… Power Toys… cough).
Have you hard of our lord and savior, the metric system?
Very specific examples I have personally witnessed would include:
- People getting angry/irritated when they see young people exiting a car parked on a disabled spot without any obvious impairment or disability.
- People in public spaces (museums, tourist spots, etc.) taking it for granted that if they just saw you climb a few steps, that means you are necessarily able to climb 50 steps without any issues.
- When someone asks if there is a place to sit in a public building/area, staff/officials will often just answer “no, sorry” without considering that the person may actually really need to sit, even if they don’t have a cane or something similar (in which case, they are often much more accommodating)
These are anecdotal, and specific to people I know and their disabilities, but I feel they illustrate how it’s always good to just take a second to think about this sort of thing. It’s also usually a good idea to just ask, instead of assuming.
It’s estimated that around 80% of disabilities are invisible. Also, many disabilities are intermittent or contextual.
It’s always good to keep this in mind when you interact with people you don’t know, regardless of what they seem to be able or unable to do.




As a French person… Nobody gets turkey. Capon, yes, though it’s become too expensive so most people go for chicken.
