Just give them sensibly labels and tags when making them so they are findable and usable. Don’t fret over organization beyond that, it won’t improve your quality of life, go for a walk or something instead.

Gonna go seed some roms.

Private DNS service.

Jerry rig door sensor.

Probably against the rules, but I’d do it anyway.

Ya know, some people actually only get on social media for curated news, to have actual conversations with other humans, or to share or seek advice about specific topics.

I spend most my time in tech, old home remodel, and local/hometown forums.

Everything everyone today says or thinks is plagiarized… Move along already, it don’t matter none. What does matter is how it, whatever it is, either benefits society or hurts it.

They are not ripe unless spotted.

They are over ripe if brown.

Funny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in.

Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.

Someone broke that system in order to benefit many, possibly at the cost of some of their ability to profit from their system of control–if they didn’t lose customers, or prospective customers, they didn’t experience any financial loss, or a loss in their ability to maintain their system of control (which is still very much in place and working).

Either way, nobody was hurt.

But the person who acted selflessly to benefit of society in general is punished.

Because… We, as a society, celebrate and work effortlessly to maintain complex systems of abuse in order to satisfy our greed or the greed of others. All despite being taught in school not to lie to and bully each other, and to share with and care for each other.

As a species: We are bat shit fucking crazy!

Thanks. Been trying to retire my age old PS6 portable app for ages, and want to move to Linux full time, but keep having to go back. GIMP has always been so frustrating to use. I install it, then run away after trying and struggling to do basic stuff.

Maybe Photogimp will get me there?

Upvote for xnview, have you tried the MP version, or whatever it is. I think I run that now, but I have both installed still.

I actually just removed an old portable version that was just living rent free in my portable apps folder for years.

I have a Andoku, a sodoku game that was open source and had the perfect setup options for selecting and placing numbers.

It got sold, and new devs immediately added ads and broke everything. I think it’s some sodoku 3 with subscription options now. Been running it since probably 2013ish.

My SO and I play as a team across dinning tables in restraunts while we wait for waiters or food or whatever.

99% of the internet is trash. Pages bouncing all over while loading, constant cookie or login popups (even with various blockers), links not connecting, old long outdated content being pushed to the front of searches, junk AI slop non-answers articles or marketing lists about a problem vs actual detailed answers…

Then there are all the various billing systems for various marketplaces, that all wanna require memberships for one time sales, before they tell you the shipping cost.

And so so much more.

It’s all heavily dysfunctional and lame and not user friendly at all anymore.

Ran into this on newpipe last week, just loaded a webpage in mobile Firefox then went back to newpipe and refreshed the page.

Not sure about your situation, but there are definitely work arounds for some situations.

I only hate you because of the color of your shirt!

SOs HP laptop borked Win11pro OS, wouldn’t load or recover. Tried reinstalling clean but Win11 installer can’t see SSD. Driver loading during install results in install crashing error.

Linux, here we come.

There are a lot of cultures where seating in public is ad hoc, you just sit wherever, you generally don’t claim a table or area to yourself. In those situations greetings and socialization are pretty normal.

I remember going out to eat fast food with a girl and her kid a decade ago and some homeless guy asked if he could sit with us. I said sure, and he was a nice maybe 50 year old guy. He had clearly been around kids and enjoyed the normalcy of just hanging out with the three of us for 30min. The kid didn’t mind, but the girl I was dating thought it really weird.

• Outlander (2008)
• The 13th Warrior (1999)
• Braveheart (1995)
• Gladiator (2000)
• Waterworld (1995)
• Escape from New York (1981)

These and a few other similar ‘epic’ movies were my go to lullaby movies for decades.

I’d put them on late and fall asleep to them, but I’d also watch them through sometimes too. And I still throw them on sometimes, just for kicks.

Yoti too.

They hold and verify ID, then mostly just pass an OK to the website or service you wanna access. Similar to Paypal playing the middle man when shopping and clicking Pay with Paypal.

They do also have the ability to share other details, but according to their FAQ it’s always with your permission.

Likewise Paypal will share your name address and email, but that’s often necessary while shopping.

Logging in to sites with Google or Facebook has a similar effect, the login prompts often have check boxes that allow you to control the data you share.

The biggest problem of course is that Yoti or other similar services then know what sites you’ve been visiting, and if they don’t respect your privacy and/or keep logs of those sites that information can be hacked or misused by bad actors.

Thus they should only keep age verification use logs extremely temporarily, or anonymize their logs if storing to track general system use patterns, for maintenance and research.

I have an email address and other accounts from the '90s that still exist.

I use the email for junkmail and Craigslist.
