TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

how the fuck do you even begin making recall a dependency for explorer?

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't say how. But I can guess why.

"Sorry, can't remove it. It's a system dependency"

It's the Microsoft way

I love winutil. Makes debloating windows a lot easier.

Glad I moved away from Windows on all my personal computers. Fedora with Plasma is so similar to Windows and so much better. If my non-tech partner can use it, then anyone can.

Only problem is that Windows is better at resizing content on high resolution (4K) monitors. And ordering multiple monitors on the login screen doesn't always work right, but it's fine once logged in. And it takes a bit more to set up than preinstalled Windows that's on most computers when you buy them. But if it was preinstalled and set up already for the hardware like Windows usually is, it would be way better for nearly everyone.

So, I just bought a new laptop. It came with Windows 11. But anyways, I'm writing this comment from a freshly installed Bazzite Linux OS.

MIT license:

Explore a beautiful Windows-first design. Manage all your files with increased productivity. Work across multiple folders with tabs. And so much more.

It looks nice, and has extra features like tabs, tagging 7zip/archive management, cloud drives, git integration, comparing file hashes, etc.

The only issue I had was performance, it took a long time to start each time. I'm planning on trying it again sometime later

I hope every SWE looks at this and remembers how not to conduct oneself.

I doubt it's the engineers who are demanding that this atrocity exist.

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago (6 children)

The issue is that people who find an issue with it and don't want to do it will get told off by management. Then management just replaces them with someone who is willing to do it (for job safety, or simply because they don't care)

Thats just how big tech is

As much as I would love this to kick MS in the backside, it won’t. The public at large has no idea what this is or why it’s bad and evil. They will buy a computer, it will come with Windows, and they’ll use it like they always have. Companies and Govts will gripe initially, but give in because their ancient VB enterprise apps only run on Windows.

Didnt they try this same shit with IE decades ago until they were forced to decouple it from explorer?
