No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Not until they bring back the “never combine” taskbar option. What a dumb idea to omit it for years and not expect push back. You had one job Microsoft.
For me the "can't believe they got rid of this" was removing the ability to move the taskbar to either side or to the top.
Remember when windows let you have a SQUARE taskbar in the middle of the screen? How far backwards we've managed to come.
Square taskbar? On which version?
Windows 98, lol. Way way back.
Nooooo so the task bar icons represent applications instead of individual windows? Ugh that's gonna bug me...
Yes 🤦🏻♂️ if you have 16 spreadsheets open on your 16k humongous ultra duper wide, it will collapse all sixteen windows into one tiny icon on the taskbar.
You can fix this with StartAllBack:

Looks like they will bring back the option, see https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/hands-on-with-windows-11s-never-combine-taskbar-feature/
Yeah ‘bout time. I can surmise their UX and UI folks work on a tiny laptop all their lives and never had to work with 8 excel windows at the same time.
I am using this (enabled with ViveTool) and they need to give us an option to standardize the width. It's so fuckin annoying to have your taskbar move around when you change tabs or songs. It's also annoying that short window titles get crunched down to a tiny button.
Oh man, I never even knew they had taken that away. I noped out the moment I heard they had removed the Quick Launch toolbar, but if not for that, the forced combining or tasks would have done the trick.
This might have a "mod" that addresses that: https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk. I use this one if that's the same thing https://windhawk.net/mods/taskbar-grouping.
Yeah there was unofficial explorer patch that was available but I just felt like throwing my toys out my pram. In all seriousness, if it’s M$ I expect nothing but the best out of the box, if it’s tinkering I’m after I’m going to main my many linux boxes. For farming all my , erm research activities, you’d think they give a little back. But nooooo…
