It's shit like this, Windows...

In the Explorer UI, if you wanted to move something "up" a directory into a parent one, you could just literally click and drag it to the parent directory in the file listing.

In the newest reworked Explorer, not only have they pulled this feature, but they went through the effort of showing a "Can't do this" cursor when trying to do it.

This was an immense time-saver for a lot of little things I do, and they could've left well enough alone, but they went through the effort to not only remove it as a feature but to really drive home that it's missing. That's pretty fucked.

I 100% recognize the font that Patreon's using in their new logotype but I don't remember where I've seen it before and it's driving me nuts

Like...a TV show's title card maybe?

Ubisoft: Okay, so what do people want?
The people: Forza Horizon?
Ubisoft: Okay! We'll make exactly that! No changes at all.
The people: But what's the unique appeal then?
Ubisoft: It'll be a hundred fuckin dollars

Is it weird that I can picture, in vivid detail, Richard Stallman belching this entire thing out between bites of his toejam at some kid who admires him more than anything and just wanted to spin up a web server

Someone save the GNU project from those trying to destroy it with prescriptive and pedantic naming choices Anyway, here's GNU's Words to Avoid page, if you use these you will get a sternly worded email from RMS (ask me how I know) https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.en.html

So Fosstodon has updated their policies to remove the "English-Only" rule after putting it to a vote by their patrons.

The vote was actually remarkably close.
