  • On windows 11 or windows 10?

    The <win10 context menu is old and poorly designed. Each app that declares itself on the right click menu gets to hold up the entire menu for like 3 seconds each. So if you have one poorly designed app that can appear on that list your right click menu will be super slow. Try to go through the right click menu and disable each app that appears one by one until you find the culprit.

    Windows has this official tool, if you go to the explorer tab and find …/contextMenuHandlers section you can easily disable them one by one but i haven’t used it personally.

    Win11 tried to fix this and moved to a different model but in doing so made the first level right click menu functionally useless.




  • The biblical explanation:

    The first pope was the apostle Simon, Jesus personally renamed him to Peter, meaning rock, because he was being reborn to become the foundation/rock of the new church. Subsequent popes rename themselves to signify their rebirth.

    The historical explanation:

    in 533 John II decided it would be inappropriate for a Pope to be named after a pagan god (Mercurius, his birth name), by the 10th century popes were largely from France and Germany but wanted to sound like their italian predecessors and so began renaming themselves. This happened enough to just become a tradition, with the last pope not getting renamed being in 1555 (Marceullus II)


  • A huge chunk of FreeBSD and Linux development is done by salaried workers who want specific functionality. Microsoft is the biggest contributor to the Linux kernel for instance. I don’t think there is much apetite for that in web browsers. Linux is an industry leader in the server space, adding features to it that complement whatever you make for profit is a good move. Firefox is unfortunately barely relavent in the browser space, if your product relies on Firefox exclusive features it isn’t going to go well for you.














  • A good month for action RPGs

    Seems like all the way on the other end of the spectrum of Kingdom Come deliverance 2. Might pick this up after I’m done with Kingdom Come.

    the lack of stealth is a bit of a turn off for me personally, but the hand placed events and mobs seems like a big plus.

    Does anyone know if the game is viable without any companions? The reviews I have seen seem to complain about them a lot and I already dislike AI teammates.
