Word on the street is that one of the mods forgot to renew the domain. I heard that it will probably be up and running again before too long.

I wonder how this compares to DarkTable?

My guess is that if it ever does go to court that N’s argument will be that you don’t own the keys.

 

It sounds like the new Pirate Bay series is a let down (although I have not seen it myself). But I do remember enjoying this documentary about the trio from 2013.

I thought Spotify gave shite royalties.

I ran arch on it for about a year - it’s a gen 9 i5. During that time I had a desktop that ran W10 on a gen 3 i5 and was quite a competent machine. Then with W11 and the TPM requirement that perfectly good windows box became ewaste.

The laptop is fine. Windows 11 is just garbage.

Yeah they transferred all of our network files held on our own private servers over to Teams. I didn’t even know that teams did file storage. I guess through one drive.

I can’t even change the length of time before the screen locks.

No, I can’t.

 

I’m a teacher and our division just “upgraded” to W11 with a new version of outlook that is basically a web app on desktop. Several times a day my laptop comes to a complete crawl while Teams decides to open itself. Can’t open or close programs, Firefox won’t register mouse clicks, nothing. Graphical glitches appear al the time with menu bars and task bars disappearing regularly, requiring force quitting the app or logging out of the desktop.

When I first switched to Linux I assumed my experience would be like this. But now it’s the other way around.

Rant over.

I’m a teacher and I have a USB stick full of textbook PDFs. It wouldn’t be cool to email them on my professional account but sneakernet is the ultimate VPN lol

I have a collection of music videos organized by artist. I have absolutely no idea where I got them from… I forget how I did it and it kills me. I wish I could remember how I set it up - they seem to be better quality than YouTube and only recently got into ytdlp.

If I remember then I’ll post it on here.

Are you joking or are there really psychopaths on this board?

I've been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it's for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence, I'm kind of tied to GDrive.

Is there a reliable method of doing this? Rclone seems to be what I want but it seems to disconnect regularly, and often doesn't upload the changes I make which defeats the purpose.

Do Linux users just not use Drive?
