Thank you, this was helpful. I'm also using Pop!_OS, so this reinforces my belief that it's just a graphical issue. I also see this when checking for updates sometimes.

I reckon this is probably what the issue is. Maybe it's of a device type where an icon wasn't created or where some reference to the icon's image is broken. Thank you.

Everything seems to be working fine and it mounts successfully. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks for responding, but no, I have 3 devices plugged in at the moment and the icons don't change regardless of which one I have selected. This is the only one with an 'x' icon. It doesn't appear to prevent me from using it, but I'm unsure if it's indicative of an issue with the device itself. Maybe it just means it isn't a recognised device. Kind of wish Nemo had tooltips or something.

Hi.

Does anyone know why is there a red cross on the icon here?

This device is a Corsair USB flash drive. I initially thought it may be because the data was corrupted as there were a couple of years where it remained unconnected and I know SSD does not like that. But I formatted the drive (ExFAT) and it still shows up with a red cross in Nemo file manager.

Any idea what this actually means?

Thanks for any insight.

I used to read Australian news every day. Now I just don't bother. This government just wastes their time on complete and utter nonsense like this while we're in the middle of a housing crisis that they're doing their absolute best to exacerbate.

I feel like I became dumber just reading this article.

Crunchyroll's (then Funimation) acquisition of Animelab is what led me to stop paying to stream anime.

Lower quality videos. Harder to navigate. Distracting watermarks on the side of the screen. Blocking VPNs. Ads even though you already pay them.

I hate that there is so little effort put into preventing monopolies from buying out the competition

This is a fair assessment. I actually like politics, but I have still blocked numerous political communities because the users spam variations of the exact same 2 articles over, and over, and over, and over again.

It's either going to be:

  1. Trump be stoopid
  2. Israel be bad

The first few times were interesting, now it's just effing annoying. Blocking these communities has definitely improved my Lemmy experience.

I used to pay for 4 streaming subscriptions.

Now no one gets my money. I would love to support developers, but I'm unwilling to put up with this bullshit to do so.

Ads even though I already pay? Have to turn off my VPN to use your website? Incomplete series? Inability to watch content offline? Regularly increase the cost well above inflation level? Geolocking content?

Streaming services get shittier and shittier with each passing day. Glad I 'opted out'.

Ah, that is not how your initial comment came across. Though I guess you realise that now.

I honestly don't recall ever encountering any bars on buying video games as a kid, or even knowing that ratings existed, though it could just be because my parents bought most of my games. I think you're right that very few people in Australia care about ratings. To me, it's clear that ratings are almost entirely arbitrary. It's obvious that big developers get more leeway in how their products are rated than smaller developers anyway.

Australians do. As do international companies selling to the Australian market.

I've been using Linux on and off for years and I've never really understood what these different directories are for. If I don't know where something is I just search for it, though more often than not whatever I'm looking for is somewhere in the home directory. I'm also not sure of the accuracy of this though. I have a VM in /run, and an SSD and thumb drive in /media. I would've expected these to be in /mnt.
