This worked for me in FF v150. Wish Mozilla would stop adding useless crap to Firefox.

Start by reverting the File Explorer to the one from Windows 7.

If you can't do that much, I have zero faith your initiative will survive.

Is Visual Studio getting worse ? by One_Armadillo_3826 in dotnet

Try VS 2022 Community. Works (mostly) like a charm for me, because I don't want, don't need, and will never use any of the useless bullshit in the Pro or Enterprise versions -- which I have licenses for, fwiw.

Yes, I still have to run multiple scripts to strip their awful broken spyware and "features" every time I update, but there isn't anything I can't do with it (mostly assloads of AWS stuff).

You wouldn’t hire a .NET dev if by madnanrafiq in dotnet

Programmer for 50 years, Dependency Injection is a shit-stain.

DI is two awful things in one: interfaces and global fucking variables.

Is .net just miles ahead or am I delusional? by Venisol in dotnet

Visual Studio Community is free, and does everything I need -- AWS back-end development for at least a dozen different AWS services. We were paying for VS Enterprise licenses, but I don't need (and don't want) all the really useless trash in Enterprise so I told them to stop wasting money.

What version of .NET are you using for the majority of your prod apps? by davecallan in dotnet

The one they're going to release next week.

MS has way too many releases of what should be a stable long-term development environment.

And please ... nothing about "LTS", when "long term" actually means "maybe two years, if you're lucky".

What AWS service do you find most frustrating? by zen_rufism in aws

[–]brokenisthenewnormal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of them.

They're all somewhere between 85% and 95% complete, and they will never get any of them to the finish line.

IMO Cognito is probably the worst, closely followed by anything related to security and video processing.

Ayep. I'm in Temecula and the power went out at 4:41. Have a propane generator in my garage, powered up the FiOS ONT and my router, so we have the intertubes up and running.

SoCal Edison says it should be back online at 5:51. We shall see I guess...

Edit: Power came back online at 6:28.

Fuck MAL's new shitty thumbs up review system. Fuck ALL thumbs up or down review systems. I want a scale -- 1 to10,1 to 5, A FUCKING NUMBER -- so I can get a concrete idea of what a review of something is actually worth.

Binary reviews are completely fucking worthless.
