Trying to mount an iso image in the terminal and accidentally un-mounting your root drive.

Totally didn’t do that before…nope not even once, definitely not twice >.>

A lot of newer big “gamer” brand peripherals are coming bundled with proprietary software you gotta run to get full functionality.

A friend of mine recently tried Linux and had his scroll wheel not work because it was tired to the software on Windows for some stupid reason…

I saw this trend starting nearly a decade ago when Razers software bricked my Win7 PC by booting before the login screen, I’ve avoided any devices with mandatory software since, but seems the issue has only grown lately.

I dunno if the Hub software works but I do have a Seagate OneTouch portable 4TB drive and it worked without issues on Linux after reformatting like I would any other drive.

Not only that but the physical phones themselves are dumping features while charging the same or often increased prices…

My current phones literally being held together with tape but wanting a current phone with an SD card and headphone jack has seriously limited my options.

I’m sure they probably could but they don’t really have the incentive to add support for them.

I’m an older GenZ born in the late 90s and I’ve had to show a few younger peers how to torrent recently.

The idea of you needing a “special” program just for downloading a file seems to throw some of them off.

I do know a few young people are tech/programming wizards but “generally tech savy” people seem to be declining. It’s either you’re really into it or barely know anything outside popular apps.

One other thing I’ve noticed, People just seem to be more paranoid about downloading stuff not already installed on their devices. Which its good people give at least a bit of a shit about security but convincing people Firefox isn’t a virus gets a bit annoying (Yes I’ve had that conversation).

It’s kinda weird I could understand the habit a decade or two ago when computers were still mainly using harddrives and some were just…slow hunks of junk.

But the majority of my peers I know who keep their PCs on for weeks or months at a time, All run at least a Sata SSD for the boot drive.

This project has been around for a good while for multiple platforms. I used to play it on a jailbroken PSP!

Think last time I played it someone uploaded a version of it to my colleges shared network drive, Will have to try it again. :)

Ladybird is slowly being worked on but I doubt we’ll see people daily driving it for a few years yet.

I wouldn’t worry too much about Mozilla when it comes to Firefox at least. As long as they keep up with the backend then forks can clean the crud off.

You would hope so but some chromium forks still try maintain their own ad blockers. And I’ve seen people just jump between what ones still work, or those few who just give up on ad-blocking all together.

Yeah I wasn’t expecting to make most of the money back, But if I can get a bit then it’s still money towards something I will use.

Selling it to try make some money back.

I built this PC before I even thought about switching to Linux.

Too many driver issues, couldn’t get Wayland working despite new drivers supposedly working with it.

Don’t worry I wasn’t planning on sticking my hands into a powered up PC anyway haha.

You just got me to remember something about a Vulkan package when I first installed Steam so gonna find the AMD package for that. Thanks!

Just note it works with ANY Winamp skin you just have to install them manually, My install I got from the AUR has the skins folder located /usr/share/audacious/Skins/

You can find most classic skins here! they are obviously very low resolution and don’t think people are making HD winamp skins these days…

Been using LibreWolf for a few months and before that just regular Firefox with the ArkenFox user.js.

Basically the exact same experience just with the peace of mind I won’t end up with some weird Ai crap after an update.

I’m gonna hope it’s a troll.

But some people are really weird about “owning” games. The other day I was in a call with someone who spend hours hunting through dodgy key selling sites to buy a delisted Steam game at nearly twice the price…

And yes I told them where else they could get it but they cared more about having the game appear on their Steam list than actually playing it.

As long as they keep supporting the framework for Firefox we’ll still get working forks like LibreWolf.

Hopefully Ladybird starts picking up more in the next few years…

It’s also near impossible to get real controllers here in the UK.

PS3 controllers still remain my favourite but had to switch to using a PS4 pad after getting scammed at multiple places.
