    Pasting with format as default is one of the biggest mistakes of humanity. I can’t remember a single situation in all my life that I needed this.

    My favorite is writing an email, copy&pasting a name and send it to the person. Only to discover later (on a different device) that your stupid email program pasted with format without actually showing it to you. And your mail looks like some moron played with the format settings.

    I agree. It’s totally simple and people overcomplicate.

    BTW one nice thing about German is, that you can even use the same logic for Boolean operators: The AND operator ∧ is called UND being the shorter word (when you put the name at the top). The OR operator ∨ is called ODER being the longer word.

    You can use the same logic in English if you Place AND/OR at the bottom instead 😁

    You have experienced the pinnacle of Windows (we could probably also add Windows 7 to this). Do yourself a favor and never touch a Windows 10 and especially Windows 11 machine. It’s unimaginable how Microsoft managed to break everything that was working and how clever they are in terms of marketing to sell you stuff you don’t need.

    They made me finally switch to Linux because my paid 365 subscription offered me to try the new outlook because Windows Mail was to be discontinued in future. I activated the test and the fun began: Only one of seven accounts was imported into outlook. Of course it was the only Microsoft account (Outlook). All other Accounts were ignored. I thought „Ok migration didn’t work, I’ll do it later manually“ I had a new email. I clicked on it. Edge opened although Firefox was my standard browser. It took me a couple of seconds to realize that I was clickbaited into opening an advertisement by one of the biggest companies on this planet.

    This made me immediately stop my work and install Linux Mint. I’m not going back any time soon.

    For job related reasons I have to use a lot of VMs. Unfortunately most of them are Windows 10. I created a naked installation years ago and basically use this as the base for individual development VMs. One of these annoyed me for days to make an update. All I could click was „remind me in one hour“ or update immediately. So I chose the one hour a lot of times. I finally let it update. Now my (Windows default!) task bar is transparent and also the whole windows menu. A colleague using the same VM with the latest updates (without changes to installed software) has no issues.

    While it is sometimes annoying and you are limited in terms of mods on your vehicles, I must admit I’m really happy that we have the TÜV in Germany when I see stuff like this.

    I’m sure this car would not survive a week here before being banned from traffic. And I’m sure the driver would also lose his license.



  • Can’t wait to update! It took some time to learn Freecad (I had only minor experience with CAD) but it was well worth it. The QOL updates in the last 1-2 years alone are massive.

    Even though I am not affected by the TNP (I learned to design without using faces from the beginning) it will eliminate a huge frustration trap and I’m sure more people are going to like and use Freecad instead of proprietary software
