Microsoft gripe of the day: no longer can you (easily) find files by filename in Explorer, instead it asks "Try describing an image or file"

Microsoft gripe of the day: no longer can you (easily) find files by filename in Explorer, instead it asks "Try describing an image or file"

WHY CAN I NOT SEARCH FOR "MYFILENAME.TXT"!! OR "MYFILE*.*"?!?!

@ai6yr Well, in all fairness, you never were really able to find files easily in Explorer.

@zalasur @ai6yr

Can't you dir /s or did they stop that?

[zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net]

@jackryder @ai6yr That's DOS, not Explorer.

[ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org]

@zalasur @jackryder They have not (yet) turned DOS CLI into crap, I think. LOL.

@ai6yr @zalasur

I posted this yesterday.

I wish they weren't so against allowing people to enjoy things.

@jackryder @zalasur Bwahahaha

@ai6yr @jackryder @zalasur can proton finally be a thing now so people can just dump windows?

which reminds me - ubuntu now supports everything on my laptop, so i need to format back to ubuntu and then get steam operational properly so i can keep playing arc raiders

[intrepidhero@vmst.io]

@ai6yr and once you've found a file how do you figure out where it is? I spent way too long on this yesterday.

That's just evil for the sake of being evil

Windows was my gaming OS for a long time. They were just better at gaming and 'easy-of-use' for right out of the box stuff. I've been a *nix user professionally and stuff but always kept a Windows PC around so I could play WoW, Destiny, or whatever.

I don't play WoW and Destiny anymore so I can't speak to them. I think Arc works. I was going to wait for a wishlist sale. ProtonDB shows it's Platinum which is promising.

@jackryder @ai6yr @zalasur i am happy to give it a shot. a few months ago when i first got this new laptop, i tried playing both cyberpunk and halo infinite and both worked in linux, so i wager arc raiders should be ok too!

[jackryder@infosec.exchange]

@Viss @ai6yr @zalasur video or it didn't happen.

No seriously, plz. I'm bored and need videos.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@jackryder @ai6yr @zalasur hah! id offer to light up arc raiders and you could watch the stream but since you already play im not sure how exciting that would be

[jackryder@infosec.exchange]

@Viss @ai6yr @zalasur

I haven't gotten the game yet. I have it wishlisted and I keep going back-n-forth on purchase/playing. Is it "Destiny-like" in that there is stuff to do if you don't know people?

[viss@mastodon.social]

@jackryder @ai6yr @zalasur i play almost exclusively solo

[jackryder@infosec.exchange]

@Viss gonna remove the others so I can pester you.

Any good people to watch to learn about the feel of the game or do you have a video? I'm curious if it's like... "Destiny-like" or if there is a similar game to compare it to.

I guess I could do my own research..
