I think the origin was that Surface devices had a dedicated Office button, so you could press Office+W to open Word and such. Office+L opened LinkedIn
But this button was internally just mapped to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win, giving this shortcut. I am actually impressed that it uses your default browser though instead of forcing Edge.

This list contains pretty much everything I wanted in this app. Thank you for your work

I'd guess it depends on the chain. I know of one retailer where a store pickup would count as an in-store sale, which gave revenue to that particular store. This applied even if the in-store pickup required the item to be shipped to the store first

I use a Git repo for the files, and a simple Makefile to script the correct paths and optional install steps for them

I actually work in a company where anyone can work from home if they want. It's just that many of us chose not to for various reasons.
So I'm sorry for having a preference different than yours, but if your management uses me as a single example to keep people in the office against their will, I think that's s problem with the management, not with me.

That seems like a very depressing mindset to have. And don't generalize your view onto everyone else like that. You say this as if I'm forcing everyone else at work to talk to me, which I am not. I am not even the one to initiate most conversations.

By talking to others, I'm feeding on their energy? I never said that I forcefully disturb others so they have to talk to me or something. I just enjoy the casual day-to-day chats with my coworkers.
But if calling strangers gross on the internet makes you feel good, I hope you have a lovely day.

I'm sorry for having an opinion different than yours. I am not even saying that WFH is bad or anything, just that I don't prefer it.

4 days on-site. I like the mental separation by having a completely separate space for work, and I enjoy talking to my colleagues. I don't see many people outside of work, so I need the social interaction. And the lunches at work are usually much healthier than something I'd cook up myself, so that's also a plus.
I have tried to work from home a few days, but don't really like it at all.

Can be, it's fairly common. But they are then usually anthropomorphic, and sometimes with fur as well (mine doesn't though)

I really love concept albums where the chorus of the first song makes a return in the finale. Makes it feel so conplete.
Examples, all power metal:
- Gloryhammer - Return to the kingdom of Fife
- Memories of Old - The Zeramin Game
- Marius Danielsen's Legend of Valley Doom - (all three albums listened to together)

It was used to power the Vive Wireless Adapter. I've also seen a Steelseries keyboard which used this cable type.
It's not widely used, but it's nice to be able to buy one

If you have ideas, you could try making a rough sketch. Either on a free base, or just an attempt at a drawing. It doesn't have to be good at all, the goal is just to get your ideas on paper. A written description can also work, but I would recommend a drawing. Both could also work. And if you struggle with choosing between some options for details, my recommendation is to just pick one at random. You will get used to it once the design is done.
Then, you can use your rough sketches and such to commission an artist to make you a proper reference sheet.
This is how I did it back when I designed my sona. But others might have other suggestions

Travel agents are still widely used by small and medium sized businesses. It's much faster to say "Get these two people to London for these days" in an email instead of manually looking for flight tickets and hotels.
But I haven't heard of anyone using them for private trips in a long time.

Some password hashing functions have a maximum input length. That could be a reason for some of the requirements. E.g. if I remember correctly, bcrypt used a maximum of 60 characters, while still being an ok choice for a hashing function

I love Loftoff so far, but I'll probably move to Boost once it's released, since that's what I used for Reddit for many years
This was my top song last year. The video is also great.
Fun fact: "dreamt" is apparently the only English word ending in -mt.

One way is to go to [instance url]/instances to get a list of federated instances, and see if it appears there. For example, to see who lemmy.world federates with, go to https://lemmy.world/instances

I think I've heard that Microsoft is replacing it though unfortunately (but I don't have a source, so take it with a grain of salt)
I also talked to a design student who said that the whole design community hated the current save icon, so we might be doomed to a new meaningless minimalistic icon.

Same here. I really want to like The Witcher 3, but after trying to play it for 10 hours without feeling any enjoyment, I just gave up.

Think of it like an email address. Your Lemmy "instance" selection would kind of be similar to choosing to create an account on GMail. Even if your account is on GMail, you can still send mails to people on Outlook, icloud, and anything else, no matter which server you chose. Lemmy works similarly in a way: No matter where you created your account, you can interact with all instances. So I have an account on lemmy.world, but I'm commenting on your comment (you're on lemmy.one), while our conversation takes place on lemmy.ml. And it should just work

I've used Mint since I started using Linux, and never had any major issues. I've therefore just stuck with it. I don't always have the time to tinker with my machine if something should break, and Mint usually just works when I need it, while still providing flexibility when I want it (and Timeshift to fix it when I break stuff)

I haven't used Lemmy much yet, but I'm honestly impressed by how well it seems to work so far.
