    How in the world do you get a java exception in rust?? Also the invoking program is java

    [–] drbluefall@toast.ooo 2 points 5 hours ago

    Maybe because of the color_eyre rust wrapper?

    Windows XP, with Windows 10+ terminal, using Linux directories.

    Though if you look at the internet taskbar icon it's a Windows 7/10+ icon, so it may all be a skin running on cygwin/wsl)

    Also the internet icon shows there is Internet.

    [–] LupertEverett@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

    I think that's just Win10 with RetroBar

    [–] moonlight@fedia.io 21 points 6 hours ago

    I bet it's just Linux with a skin.

    Macintosh Pus actually. At least I hope it’s a Plus. If they gutted a 128k or 512k that would be sad.

    [–] over_clox@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    Macintosh Pus? πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

    I'd leave the spelling error, I got a good laugh. πŸ‘

    The Internet icon is a fucking liar, and if you don't agree with me you haven't been on enough networks.

    [–] einlander@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

    What do you mean it's not a DNS error!

    [–] SatyrSack@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    Also the internet icon shows there is Internet.

    Looks to me like the icon that indicates the machine being connected to a network, but that network is not connected to the Internet.

    "Connected to the Internet" is a spectrum from "no network interface available" to "can reach every server that people agree is 'online'". Is it enough to have a working TCP/IP stack, receive a ping reply from connectivitycheck.android.com (or other arbitrary server), or do you have to know if there's a firewall (like in China)?

    It’s the Windows taskbar. They used to let you move it to the top but had to remove that feature to support CoPilot.

    [–] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

    StartAllBack restores this functionality. (It also allows you to arrange the taskbar icons and buttons any way you see fit, and even replace the entire Start menu with the one from Win7, 8.1, or 10.)

    [–] Zanathos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

    I completely missed the taskbar at the top. Thought the guy was wondering what the 3.5 floppy drive was.

    [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

    I am a left side taskbar kind of guy. No room for me in default Windows either anymore.

    [–] noride@lemm.ee 28 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    I hated this change, I've used a side taskbar in windows my entire IT career. It makes it painfully obvious which taskbar is yours and which is the servers when logged in over RDP. With this simple tweak, I had quite literally never made a click error on a remote server... Until windows 11.

    [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 hours ago

    that's a clever way to use it!

    I used to do this back before browsers had tabs and everyone I told thought I was nuts for doing it, now I just don't care.

    [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

    I have a left taskbar and then my left browser nested tab bar. (Vivaldi, but I used to do this in Opera too) It's definitely better now with Ultrawide monitors.

    [–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 1 points 6 hours ago

    literally the thing that made me decide to finally look into linux, recently resulting in my switching to it, is that for years Ive liked to have the taskbar on the right side on autohide, and on windows 11 they took away the ability to put it there.

    [–] Goretantath@lemm.ee 12 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

    Who the FUCK puts the xp taskbar at the TOP!?

    [–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 hours ago

    I’ve had top taskbar auto hide since Win95.

    MacOS got it right back in 1984 but Windows insisted on doing it wrong like an edgy teen wearing their baseball cap to the side.

    [–] LostXOR@fedia.io 10 points 7 hours ago

    The problem is you're using Bukkit.

    Sweet monitor frame! Where can I get one of those.

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

    Cool Retro Term has finally added hardware support. They even included the vertical wrap-around when a capacitor is about to pop!

    top-aligned taskbar like a heretic

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

    My waybar/polybar is up there, not sure it qualifies as a taskbar but if so I'll have you know it's feelings are hurt.
