WTF is happening with Windows 11? And nothing else

@Gomesz785 It's more simple than that. It just starts with "tro", short for "trolling".
Just like tropical fish, trophy and, of course, trolleybus, and the original trollface.It's sort of like Eskimo words for snow in that regard.
In case of there's a fair chance I really believe the bullshit I'm writing, but I say I'm only pretending to avoid societal pressure.

is a controversial take.
is sort of like "good jerb". But not necessarily good. Or jerb for that matter.

Then there's, of course, several kinds of , and the emoji-less:tro:

As you can see, we take our trolling very seriously here

@Applied-Mediocrity Actually I wasn't questioning your use of the or
:tro:
. Rather the similarity of the [used for the meaning of tropical drink and not tro] with the other emojis.
Also, I couldn't understand a 1/4 of your comment - hope my comment wasn't a troll.
Anyway, I learned more emoji uses, thanks...

Jesus that's actually half trolling. For the longest time I thought it was the css shitting the bed in some way.

For a definition of best that means something different than the way most people define it. And some
peopledenizens succeed astonishingly well.

I personally rate this high quality shit-posting

My post? If yes, it was me just posting about the similarity of a emoji, and I did not know how

I should have written "a part" instead of "1/4".
was the

I have used and seen others use , , , . I try to pick them thematically when possible.
(I'm also pretty sure this isn't the first time I write a post saying something similar)But I like your guidelines.

@Zecc In addition to the "normal" ones, I've also used some of the more obscure rail/train ones occasionally

I just use whichever one takes my fancy this time.

We really need a sign warning that the locals are feral.

Fuckin' ferals. Now if only they didn't make so much noise...

The usual welcome would suffice:
Read a bit before joining, beer is in the fridge and the nuts are all over the place.

@DogsB Did you see that I condensed all of the deleted one to a one single post? I did that for my good; I easily get fucked up organizing the reply here and there.

Important stuff is happening!

“It’s the same Windows that you know and love, but this is a new beginning, a new era,” says Christina Koehn, creative director for Windows 11
How shall I put that politely...
-
@Zerosquare It's the same, but it's completely new.
-
So the tens of thousands of people they employ created… a new wallpaper? How groundbreaking.

It's the same thing Apple do - each new major version of iOS & macOS comes with a new set of wallpapers because you gotta keep the design guys busy somehow.

Which is funny because that's the name of the hand gesture you use to open the Start menu in Hololens....

@Tsaukpaetra I’m sure both users will be glad to learn.

Windows Updates as usual: things get worse.
...what do you mean, "...before they get better"? Nah, I'm pretty sure that part doesn't exist.

@TimeBandit said in WTF is happening with Windows 11? And nothing else:
It is the use of non-ASCII characters not in app names but in registry keys that is causing the issue. In the case of Cốc Cốc browser, it would appear to be the ố character that is causing problems, while the newly added warning for Aplicação Autenticação.gov features the characters ç and ã.
Affected apps might be unable to open and might cause other issues or errors in Windows, including the possibility of receiving an error with a blue screen.
I smell bad news for @Gąska...
-
@Zerosquare as if I needed any more reasons to never upgrade to 11.

That does lead to a question, though: why now? What did they fuck up to break it now, when it appeared to be working before? (How do you end up fucking up character coding in 2021?)

Something something a new scanner has been created that fails to Do The Right Thing.

@cvi Windows uses 16bit character encoding. Or used until now. Maybe they finally tried to move the registry to UTF-8.

And since that just uses

Are you new to Microsoft's software?

I can’t drag thingies to the taskbar from the Desktop. Or from the Start menu. Is my Windows broken?

They probably tried to remove a compatibility shim for EBCDIC that was somehow tied to critical functionality

Nope, they fucked that since Windows 10.

So, the correct answer is, "Yes, it's broken by design."

NopeYes, they fucked that since Windows 10.Being broken by design means it's obviously not broken.
