Yeah one of these is literally my primary USB 3.0 to SATA adapter

I have no idea on the numbers, but given just how huge Spotify is compared to the others, I wonder if record labels just don’t see the worth in additionally posting to the other non major platforms like Tidal. Sure it pays ~3x more but it likely has ~50x less users.

Edit: I just wanted tildes before my numbers, I put a backslash before them to cancel them out as formatting codes, but now it just renders as . If anyone can tell me how I should fix this please tell me

I exclusively use NewPipe on my phone, and it works well (although it seems comments broke recently, but I’m sure it’ll be fixed in due course), but I try to use Piped on PC and I find that it is significantly slower, most videos I have to play at 720p or lower, and it usually takes 20+ seconds to initially load. Being in Australia probably doesn’t help

Is there any other alternatives that I should consider?

I actually found an old /home drive of mine this week where I had exactly this setup, so painful.

To play devils advocate, I’d say that the bigger issue is that Linus ended up in the terminal to start with, when he had no idea what he was doing in there.

If Linux is to hit the masses, then a beginner friendly distro should have the convention to install apps be by GUI instead of TUI, and guides should be updated to reflect this. That GUI-based installer should see that the “Yes, do as I say” prompt was triggered and in a clear and concise way, inform the user that important packages will be removed if they continue and they should not.

Effectively just having a much better interface for the user is what I’m saying.

Just looks like the original game setting with the same engine and problems that PvZ2 had. No thanks, the original game was where it was at and it’s surprisingly replayable. I still have it on my iPad for when I want to have some downtime.

If you really want to be pedantic… that’s not even the Microsoft logo to begin with. Microsoft didn’t use the Windows logo for their own company logo, at least during that time period.

Oh, and that’s Windows Vista’s logo anyway.

I have a pair of LaserJet 2200dn printers, they work absolutely fine in any Linux distro but I just have to make sure to use the below driver in my case:

HP LaserJet 2200 Foomatic/lj4dith (grayscale, 2-sided printing)

If I use the default or hpcups drivers it takes fucking forever (over an hour!) to process the pages. Essentially if given the option go for the lj4dith driver for your LaserJet

It’s actually astonishing to me how much better Linux deals with updates compared to macOS and Windows. “Oh, updates are installed, and you just need to restart whatever I updated if it’s currently running.”

Sometimes it does have its moments though, like when it updates some core package and changes its config in such a way that the next boot doesn’t go into a GUI, but I think it’s also fair to point out Windows has had those too. And macOS High Sierra with the performance and security issues it initially had on release won’t go unmentioned by me either.

I’ll definitely look into it, I have had a couple friends play it before actually, so they might be able to give me a steer on how to play.

I have, and generally I get overwhelmed with how complicated they can get, especially the really popular modpacks that add magic and stuff like that.

I usually end up making my own “Vanilla+” kind of modpack, but I’ve gotten bored with most mods that I would usually add to that.

With that being said, I might try adding only a few of the more technical mods and seeing if I enjoy that.

Was coming back into Minecraft but wanted to make the game feel more spicy because vanilla survival has gotten boring for me, so I’ve been playing the latest April Fools snapshot “The Vote Update” in hardcore, with a personal rule that I cannot say “Do nothing” to any vote.

I did lose my first world to “Replace Creeper spawns with Warden” but the second world has been going well, and it’s definitely a more chaotic and interesting way to play the game.

I imagine governments are paying for the ESU packs if they’re still on Win7

I’m relieved to see some sane responses in that thread (although not from OP…)

I do when its posted to something like Lemmy or Hacker News, if the things you’re posting would interest those kinds of communities you’d at least have a small audience

Yeah, because if anything is better than granular data harvesting, it was ActiveX scripts wreaking havoc on your machine just by opening a webpage, disguised as ads.

It’s probably not necessarily aimed at you, but for some seen as the straw that broke the camels back because they’re overexposed to the subject and have had enough.

That being said, it’s hard to see that if you’re literally commenting on a Linux thread.
