  1. The #nearshare app family is joined by a new utility app for #Windows. Besides the native share menu in Windows, you can now use this app to quickly share your clipboard, some plain text or arbitrary data via drag'n'drop!

  3. My desktop is KDE Plasma, but I also like to use GNOME apps.

    I find funny how this weird mix of Qt+GTK4 happens to be exactly like the weird mix of Win32+UWP on Windows.

  11. It seams #Microsoft doesn't allow anymore to associate the legacy #notepad c:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe with the .csv file type. Not even after I removed the #AI bloated #UWP version of Notepad from the system.

    This is fine.

  16. 💩 Meta just killed native WhatsApp on Windows 11, now it opens WebView, uses 1GB RAM all the time

    「 My understanding is that the recent layoffs at Mark Zuckerberg-headed Meta likely disbanded the entire team behind the native WhatsApp. I don’t see any other reason why Meta would abandon its native app for Windows. Meta will save costs by maintaining the web app codebase on Windows, but you’re going to hate the experience 」

  21. Anyone here with #WinRT knowledge?
    If I have e.g. com:ComInterface and com4:ComInterface registered, does com4 on supported systems override the com declaration?

  23. this new #WhatsApp for #Windows crashes permanently for me. I don't know the reason, but given its inconvenience... I wouldn't say it's an absolute disaster (I can use it still), but comparing to the #UWP app it's a nightmare.

  30. Okayokay #Microsoft, how can you fuck up #Windows so badly?

    User complains "Task Manager autostart settings have no effect on your application"

    User checks HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
    And both keys, SupportFullTrustStartupTasks and EnableFullTrustStartupTasks, are missing.
    Recreates it, and autostart works again.

    In fact, everything except "HideFastUserSwitching" and "DisableAutomaticRestartSignOn" were missing.

    HOW!?

  32. Working on a small util app for #nearshare on #Windows to simplify the usage of Nearby Sharing on Windows (e.g. send files from your clipboard, drag'n'drop, etc).

    It's a #WinUI 3 app on #UWP.
