A place where you can rant to your heart's content.

Rules :
  1. Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
  2. Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
  3. Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

If everyone at Microsoft forgot how to code, why don't they open source their stuff? (lemmy.world)

New Windows 11 release comes with a new Windows 11 bug: middle click on explorer icon on taskbar doesn't open a new window anymore.

This taskbar shit seems so hard to do for microsoft, they took 3 years to fix the combined icons bug

same for "reopen explorer windows at login" which was broken for more than one year

If all their 100k devs are unable to fix it, why don't they open source it and rely on some amateur hobbyist to fix it for free in their spare time?

That's not true. Do you think the engineers working full time on Linux are being paid from donations?

They work for businesses.
