It's the context menu key all over again

That one is actually useful and I use it every day.

Can we also talk about stupid keyboard manufacturers putting media functions and whatnot on the F keys, but then requiring me to hold Fn to use it as a regular F key? Nobody wants to go Fn+Alt+F4 to close a window. What the hell?

I don't want a key to automate my hallucinations, I can do that fine enough with enough helium

Even scroll lock has been used more. Nobody will want your AI crap, microsoft, not even with a dedicated key.

I just got done learning how to turn off Copilot in group security policy, yay! Get away from me, even if you worked according to the spec in the marketing hype. I am the admin. I drive you out! :::holds up holy water and a crucifix:::

Has power management for laptops gotten any better in the last couple of years on desktop Linux? I distro hopped for a year 3ish years ago but just didn’t like the fairly significant reduction in battery life.

ooooh, a KRunner key!

Nice so I can remap it to something useful… unless they’re jerks and the keyboard isn’t sending a key but a combo like that useless “office” key that they tried and failed years ago

Oh no! That will fuck up my muscle memory!

Oh wait!

I don't use Winblows! Ufa!

Edit: seriously though, this whole AI super spyware baked into Windows is a privacy violation on a whole different level.

Too bad most ppl don't give a fuck.

Wait, the keyboard layout standardization has been done by Microsoft?!

[-] carlosfm@lemm.ee 26 points 1 year ago

It was made by IBM. Microsoft just added one key...

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

And the Keyboard Layout is standardized by regulations in multiple parts of the world, I'm not sure if Microsift can actually influence the layout there...
