Happened to me as well, freezing up the whole system, especially with many/large files. None of the suggestions I found online actually worked. Happened on USB drives as well.
Then my whole HD gave up completely. Replaced it and all problems are gone. USB drives as well: turns out Linux at least tries to read it so you can attempt to save some data, while Windows just says it’s unreadable.
I tried it on a new Lenovo (AMD). The cursor size changed its size from normal to microscopic, depending on the application you hover over. Went back to X, no issues there.
Still can’t run Wayland on my system (Nvidia) at all.
Incidentally I just installed a new laptop that came with windows yesterday and damn, windows 11 sucks.
First you have to find a workaround to install without a MS account, then the default Bing search tells you to install Opera when you search for Firefox, I can’t find any settings (everything is a regedit hack now) and then I found a debloat script that claims it disabled Recall. So yeah it can be disabled (for now).
Of course, but how often would you go to a coffee place? If you work in an office, coffee is usually free anyways.
As a poor European:
Coders saying “but me a cup of coffee” for $8.
I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.
That’s $0.40 for a cup.
(Or about 9 beers)
Living under Christianity means living in constant fear of being watched and judged and living in a world full of supernatural forces. It was a great relief when I realized it’s all bullshit.
ftp
It’s crazy that Firefox was good with ftp until they just decided to not support it anymore 😕
Checking my blocklist makes me wish communities could be blocked on category.
It’s mostly football, F1, sports, anime, porn but also star trek.
deleted by creator
I have different folders for different genres, then subdivided in folders for year of release.
I spent way too much time organizing this way back so I stick with it. Problems with this are that genes can overlap (could be fixed with symlinks?) and the year is something you often have to look up (id3 often shows year of the album which is not always the year it came out).
It syncs on your local network only as far as I know, if that’s not a problem it should work mostly the same. You can set it up to sync only in one direction.
I tried Amaze, it’s OK but it annoys me how huge the list items are. I have to scroll through a folder that only takes half the screen in TC.
Syncthing automatically synchronizes folders, so it updates and deleted where necessary. With KDE Connect you can also send files, but it’s not automatic and it doesn’t synchronize.
Or use Consent-o-matic to not accept cookies
Total Commander - pretty much essential to have a file manager.
Kde Connect obviously.
Tracker Control to block ads, trackers.
Syncthing if you want to synchronize files between devices, good for backups and photos.
I really doubt that.
Czechia. In many supermarkets “discounts” only apply when you have a card/app. Essentially the “discount” is normal price, otherwise you’ll pay nearly double.
I’m using fake names on all those things, but prices without loyalty are often insane. It’s basically an extra tourist tax.
I rarely use cash. Nearly everything I spend is on supermarket and they know exactly what I buy because we’re forced to use their “loyalty” programs anyway.
Then traveling: dealing with other currencies, coming home with unspendable money. And there’s no interest on cash lying around.
But I hate the tendency for places to not accept cash at all, there should still be a choice.
One bonus is that I keep finding money on the streets in countries that love cash.
More recent ones that are really good:
Barry, a show about a murderer that turns out to be really funny.
Snowfall, about drug dealers making it to kingpins. A similar show, Queen of the South is also good.
And some classics that are funny and clever enough to rewatch:
Keeping up Appearances, I think we all know some of these characters in real life
Flight of the Conchords
