You’re right, same goes for anime as they mention in the article. I’m thinking one leads to the other, people might pick up the manga to catch up on the anime or maybe a manga reader will watch the anime version of their show.
And they target a starving audience if you ask me.

The weebs are winning because Hollywood is bankrupt for ideas. Heck, not just Hollywood, the west in general.

Directories routinely take mulitple seconds to load, and I don’t understand why.

Probably thumbnail generation, and I was going to say file indexing, but surely that runs in the background. Baloo in KDE is a lot less intrusive anyway.

As one commented below the article, “Recall too I bet”.
It’s like the dumbest anosmic sheep dog that’ll just show the wolf the way to the sheep.

They speedran the enshittification process, so quickly the term wasn’t even invented yet.

Only a decade late… Luckily qBittorrent is brilliant. And if qBittorrent somehow wasn’t an option, I might go with BiglyBT - it’s not the easiest on the eyes, but lots of settings.

It’s no surprise we’d see copycats after Luigi. I wonder if MSM will try and keep this off the air, sort of sweep it under the rug to prevent people getting any more good ideas.

I’m surprised nobody has recommended Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn for KDE, but then again, it is an old thread. This is my favorite, it also allows for animated wallaper on the lockscreen.

I tried downloading it precompiled and it just complains about needing libsteam_api.so. Gonna see if compiling fixes that…
Nah, too much faff, as I’m on fedora. I couldn’t quite figure out the dependencies.

What about all the lost accounts due to the Mojang -> Microsoft account migration? Lots of people either didn’t get around to doing it, or was able to and that meant the game you bought was suddenly null and void as your Mojang account got deleted if you didn’t consent in time to migrate to Microsoft.

The Asus EeePC 1000H that I bought back in 2009 is a 10 inch monitor netbook. 160 GB HDD because I didn’t go with SSD, only came with 1 GB of RAM and cruicially was offered in both Windows XP and Linux flavor which was a bit niche at the time.
Its 32-bit single core (hyperthreading) atom processor is very slow at 1.6GHz, but it can still be used with antiX for my usecase.
If you manage to get hold of one of these old dinosaurs, I’d probably opt for an SSD solution, that’s a pretty big bottleneck.

I use an extension which bundles 5 different solutions in one called PaywallHub. I hasn’t been updated for a while because it got hit by takedown notices, but the chrome extension and firefox addon repos are still available, you just have to install it a bit more manually: https://github.com/Angeloyo/PaywallHub

That’s a lot of choo-choo’ing

If we’re sharing silly useless projects, I quite like “activate linux”, the configurable watermark inspired by “Activate Windows”.
It’s unfortunately not a strictly terminal based goof, but wanted to share anyway.

https://feddit.org/post/7894572 earliest post I could find. It’s a clever exploit, but it was patched 3 days ago.

Reading about the Tulsa race massacre is so crazy, like World War 1 planes, some say up to 12, others at least 8 of them doing stuff like: “… turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs being dropped and men shooting from planes”. Some also suspect the use of dynamite, so it’s possible they were quite literally dropping bombs.

Fuuuuuck… I was really hoping I didn’t need to migrate away from gmail… But looks like this is it.

“Bloody Just Stop Oil protesters blocking the road, preventing me to go to work just so they can spread the message that we’re all going to die! I HAVE A MORTGAGE!”

That’s actually really cool. I like that the dev has expressed that he doesn’t want to make the algorithm addictive and just keep it random 😅

I began using SMPlayer, which uses MPV, and yeah, it was confusing having to mess around in %localappdata%. But unironically, having to do so kinda prepared me for the switch to linux, what with getting used to using the filesystem.
