For video recording I use OBS and for zip files I use 7-Zip

infeeeee ,

7zip doesn’t support the new win11 rightclick menu (yet), nanazip is a fork with full win11 support:

github.com/M2Team/NanaZip

Corr ,

I’m using 7zip on win11. You need to get into the old context menu to see it tho. You can edit the registry to make the old one the default too.
No idea why it’s a registry edit but Microsoft will do what they will

infeeeee ,

Yes that is another option. I know 7zip works there, win11 is mostly the same as win7 under the hood, but I would install a supported frontend instead of fiddling with the registry, tweaks like that can break after updates

I don’t use windows personally, just set it up for others. I don’t care enough to tweak the registry for them, if there are more convenient solutions

Corr ,

I use win11 at work sadly so I’m stick with it there. I find the new context menu unusable so I prefer the old one

bigrubbermonkey ,

tweakui can fix this

ReversalHatchery ,

tweaks like that can break after updates

That’s a perspective. I think 11 is broken that it does not show the expected context menu items that programs still put there, but it just ignores it.

I don’t care enough to tweak the registry for them, if there are more convenient solutions

If you set it once and export the reg key, it’s just a double click on the reg file for any future PCs.

@Subject6051 Most of apps famous in linux are available on windows.

Funny part is while joining Linux we searched alternatives and now for leaving it we need alternatives 😅

Subject6051 OP ,

Indeed! I gotmyself accustomed to a routine of using featherpad instead of notepad, using Kpaint instead of paint, it’s weird to be back. “Hey Windows, it’s me again, I hate you, but I have been told I must use you.”

Pretty weird, it’s getting back at me by showing me the wrong time every time I login! :')

theshatterstone54 ,

Yeah, I use a tiling WM at home, so having to deal with Windows’ way of doing things at college computers was very annoying, especially when the Super+L keybind I used to Launch apps, was used on Windows to Lock the machine. Locking your PC while trying to open an app is very, very annoying.

For screenshots I recommend Greenshot. Simple to use and good annotation tools.

Subject6051 OP ,

Interesting, I might keep that in the back of my mind as a backup for ShareX

I’m here to remind you of the absence of Heathcliff from Heathcliff comics. Absurdist anti-joke comics with an extra helping of both.

Fuck_u_spez_ , to asklemmy in How to deal with being bald?

All the men on my mom’s side of the family have been bald for as long as I can remember so I knew I was doomed when my hair started thinning in my early twenties. Now that I’ve been shaving it for years, I don’t miss it one bit. It’s so much less of a hassle than keeping it clean and straight and cut neatly.

It’s just hair. You can either own it or wear a hat while you wait a few months until it grows back – and then be grateful that it still does.

orcrist , to asklemmy in How to deal with being bald?

I don’t think “bald” is the right expression. You have a shaved head, which is different, right?

Also, shaved heads can go with most kinds of fashion. Your hair is always perfect, no matter the wind or rain.

Finally, if you got self esteem only because of compliments on your hair, now is the perfect time in life to find other ways to love yourself. Deeper ways. :-)

Good idea, bad DSL and toxic community.

PiJiNWiNg , to asklemmy in What is the best alternative to Cozi? (shared calendar and list app)

My wife and I use TimeTree as a shared calendar app. Its available in Android and iOS, and I’m sure it has other features that i dont use (maybe a “lists” function), but it’s been solid for us.

superkret , to asklemmy in The specific thing you spend the most time doing instead of the actual job you're being paid to do is your new profession. What's your new job title?

Linux Sysadmin. Funnily enough, that’s the career I’m in after procrastinating a lot during my ecology studies.

prettybunnys ,

Being a tech savvy person in a science field is a one way trip to becoming sysadmin accidentally.

Carighan , to gaming in What EldenSoulsBorne boss gave you an embarrassing amount of trouble?
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

The second phase of the final boss in Elden Ring.

Not because of the actual fight.

But I struggled the whole game with the extremely narrow FOV and motion sickness from that, and during the final boss, the FOV was actually too small to fit the entire boss during its animations or look at it when it rises (I think they later extended the camera max motion upwards in a patch?), and that excaberated the issue massively. And beating that boss while feeling semi-sick constantly was just not a nice experience. :(

For screenshots look at Greenshot.

xmunk , to asklemmy in What is a less popular type/genre of movies that you watch ? What makes it interesting for you ?

Are you strictly talking movies or any 1-2 hour long content because… have I told you about our lord and savior SummoningSalt?
