    I develop software that runs on Windows, so I have to use it to some degree. I would pay so much money for an officially-supported version that lets me cut out all the shit I don’t need and not deal with stupid thirst tricks. For the longest, I just ran Windows Server in a VM.

          Lemmy (as in the default frontend) requires an extra caret at the end of superscripts: ^or^ ^the^ ^ports^ ^of^ ^the^ ^bay^

          not a bot, but at this point I might make one

            Huh, looks fine to me

            edit: checked in browser and yours looks fine in that, but in my app it adds an extra ^

              Oh nice, another client-dependent formatting thing.
