Any good open source disk analyzer tools for #Windows?

Disk is always full and searching for files takes a lot of time

What were the MS-DOS programs that the moricons.dll icons were intended for?

Last time, we looked at the legacy icons in progman.exe. But what about moricons.dll?

Here’s a table of the icons that were present in the original Windows 3.1 moricons.dll file (in file order) and the programs that Windows used the icons for. As with the icons in progman.exe, these

BBC: Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers
(TLDR: there are a lot of embedded computers running things like XP et al)

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250516-the-people-stuck-using-ancient-windows-computers

Built myself a powerful yet compact gaming PC running @bazzite.gg to work as a console replacement. The Xbox stays just for GTA VI next year (still hoping for a PC release though).

After twenty years of exclusively using Macs I‘m so thrilled that even for gaming I will never have to use #Windows again.

Maybe you or somebody you know has a #Windows10 computer, which works perfectly fine, but will lose support on October 14 because it cannot be updated to Windows 11 for hardware support reasons.

Please, do not turn the computer into unnecessary e-waste but keep using it and give it a new life by installing #Linux on it. There are plenty of advantages in doing so, the biggest one being it's waaaayyy cheaper.

Does anyone here know of any software for Linux or Windows (preferably Linux due to the graphics limitations of VirtualBox) that can automatically mask out many people from a video?

I want to be able to mask (censor) out all the people in my GoPro videos because of GDPR in the EU. I don't want big squares that move, but mark out the body with clothes, so that you can still see the body movements.

It is so obvious that the forced stoppage of support for #Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 has everything to do with forcing people to buy new hardware, and nothing with the technical possibilities of #Microsoft to produce a good working operating system that works on a wide scale of different performing hardware.

I have a still well functioning laptop that will soon have an OS that is not supported anymore. This is truly ridiculous and renders good functioning laptop useless. Yes I know I can put #Linux on it, and I will. But it is for work-purposes a step back as the stability and availability of software is different.

It has all the vibes of cartelisation, central software/OS-producers with hardware industry, pushing people to buy new hardware.

#Capitalism destroys the environment and forces us to use the resources of our #planet in an inefficient and destructive manner. We need a fundamentally different economy and tech-sector. Here is a draft for a couple of pillars of such a tech-sector: https://kolektiva.social/@LibSpring/114002923715678754

The funny thing is that I set that laptop down there to take pics of the cats and then spent the next 2 hours searching all over the house for my laptop.

"Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025.

"Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

"But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?"

I've been running Linux since the late '90s and exclusively since the mid-'00s. You can run Linux too! Follow the link for more: https://endof10.org/

Look what i found

Y2K legacy remnants found deep within the #Windows legacy policy.

#Windows 10:n loppu häämöttää, https://endof10.org/fi/ löytyy nyt alustavasti suomeksikin. Pari suomalaista porukkaa tarjoaa jo #Linux-asennuspalvelua (#Kuopio, #Tampere/verkko), löytyykö palveluntarjoajia lisää, asennustapahtumia tai palvelun tarvitsijoita?

Virallinen launch toukokuun 28.

The path from using the #Windows operating system to using #Linux is unnecessarily steep.

Today after years of just soldiering-on-through I opened Preferences in my #FileManager which is of the #Thunar species and ticked a box which has me shown Date+Time.

Putting out a Linux version ("distro" is what folk call them), which claims to be new user friendly, but starts off with a non-standard date stamp that is a barrier to folk coming over from Windows, shows a basic misunderstanding.

Microsoft solves dual-boot problems with Windows and Linux

Microsoft had interfered with dual-boot installations with Linux during startup with Windows updates. The problem should now be solved.

I find it difficult to grasp how dangerous the reliance on huge #corporations and #proprietarysoftware is until I hear something like this:

The chief prosecutor of the #ICC (International Criminal Court) has lost access to his #Microsoft email account due to a #Trump ruling.

#opensource is the most reliable way of setting up critical #technology and, personally, I am finally convinced to #switchtolinux from #Windows.
