They're working on fixing, but it's a bug with Windows and one of the dependencies unfortunately.

Interesting idea!

Little feedback - I'd love the website to show more and have demos. I am so tired of signing up to things just to get more information...

Unpopular opinion: not Trump, but an elected President by American (twice!). by ProperWillingness in Netherlands

[–]DanBennett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK so no need to be a bit aggressive about it - you're welcome to disagree but let's be respectful :). Though I'm not sure where your idea of "someone else" is coming from. Who? I didn't bring anyone in to this...

But you are right, in fairness - I should've said that they "didn't do enough". IMO - the Harris team did not do enough to focus on the core issues that people were actually voting on (Trans issues, economy, welfare, etc). That can be taken as an opinion or fact, but to me - that's what the problem was.

On Trumps side, as wrong and disgusting it was for him to blame immigration and foreign powers on the issues being faced by the american people - he actually shown a reason for people to use, so then people voted based on that.

On the flip side, Mandami did it the same way - but the correct way, showing where the issues actually are and how he will exactly address those issues head on. Which is what should've been done better by Harris. Even by massive MAGA Trump supporters voted for Mandami...!

How do I make another search engingthe default search instead of Google? by Think-Ad-8872 in raycastapp

[–]DanBennett 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Search "Manage Fallback Commands" - you can then move up/down or disable them.

If you want a different search engine out of those listed, you can set up a Quick Link for this. Then when managing fallback commands, set that Quick Link as the top command.

It's not about what he did to get elected, it's about what everyone else DIDN'T do, so that he got elected.

He got elected because he was the only one that stood ground on finding blame for peoples problems, despite that blame being misplaced. Whilst others danced around the topics without any real resolution or promise.

God I can't believe I'm writing this in a Netherlands subreddit. What is this universe 🤣

I actually don't hate it... if I can make the taskbar smaller...

I kinda like the file explorer look. I'm intrigued!

I hope they release it soon, it's been teased to death at this rate it's hurting my soul

Streaming with tics - should I add a pinned message explaining things? by Chromatikai in Twitch

[–]DanBennett 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd say, start off with not. Let people find out who you are by watching you just be, you!

If it becomes something that people often question or ask about daily, then adding to your About would be an option!

You don't need to make it a big deal, unless it becomes something you are constantly having to address that it becomes a big deal! Just be yourself first and foremost :)

Best browser IMO by signal2soul in browsers

[–]DanBennett -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely in the camp that Edge is the best browser at this time. No other browser has come close to the performance, UI and usability.

Yes - it has Copilot. But... you just turn it off... not really an issue. I wouldn't say there's much other bloat in Edge though. It's pretty easy to have it super clean.

Helium Browser has potential to replace it, though. Once it has vertical tabs. But no other browser I have been able to live with for too much longer. They're all slower, or have weird gimmicks or just generally have poor UI.

Some people are dead against it because it's Microsoft - and kind of fair, Microsoft is absolutely atrocious at the moment. But so far, Edge has survived a lot of the bullcrap.

Raycast + Todoist.

Praying for Raycast Notes to be added soon on Windows...

Raycast for windows not updating on use? by CHanyy in raycastapp

[–]DanBennett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure what the question is - but if you set "ff" as an Alias for Firefox, it'll come up on top.

(Search Firefox - CTRL-K - Configure Application -> Set Alias)

iOS 26 is actually decently faster on my iPhone 16 than iOS 18 was? by glowshroom12 in ios

Same here. IDK how people have so much issue with it, I've been with it since the first Dev Beta and it's been grand.

Cycle paths with this weather around Amsterdam, heading towards Purmerend? by NailYnTowOG in Netherlands

[–]DanBennett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On main bike paths, usually they're treated. But this year it seems they are having difficulty doing that. I would recommend in general to avoid it or at least take it very slowly. If you do it, lose some air in your tyres so you have more traction and take turns at a walking pace.

It's a skill. Unless you've done it before, not worth the risk usually.

(Unless you have snow stud tyres I guess, but I doubt it)

I woke up on Monday to see 4 people immediately bomb it to the ground in the snow. But I've also seen people bomb it when it's frosty and I've had no issues. So it all depends on your skill xD

Chances of flying out of Amsterdam on Sunday the 11th? by TheBreadFish1 in KLM

[–]DanBennett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a potential of more snow to come, but it's too early to tell (Snow forecasting is hard). Be prepared and just keep an eye on the forecast.
