I think I was in Ibiza when I last felt how that guy looks

Not everyone?

Does anyone?

Good thing we can fork, I guess, but it’s kinda sad to watch a previously good org die

Cheers for the response, I appreciate it!

I’m curious about the plugins as obviously I’m not gonna be familiar with the notepad++ plugin ecosystem now—what’s special about the ones you listed?

Assuming edit EOL is just changing the line termination characters, all editors have that don’t they? Or does this not do what I think?

Intrigued about VSCode being slow for text manipulation too—I remember this being a big reason I dropped notepad++ for sublime and IMO VSCode and sublime more or less have parity on that front, particularly with vim bindings

I just don’t get the love for notepad++

I started using it as my main back in 2006ish, I then switched to sublime text about 2011, then about 5-6 years ago to VSCode. All the time using vim for any in-terminal quick edits.

Notepad++ is easily my least favourite editor of the lot, by several miles, it just seems so rigid and clunky without even going into how it’s windows only. Every editor I’ve used since has been a huge improvement over the one prior IMO

Oh no, this is not gonna be good for my productivity

I don’t think it’s a lie, it’s objectively true that shit SD cards would have that effect on performance if used as adopted storage. But I do agree with you that it was a convenient excuse, as I wrote at the end of my original comment.

It’s not the users saying it, it’s the OEMs. Back when this was a new discussion, I at least remember Google saying this as justification for why it stopped including them in their devices after the nexus 4

Not that I think it was a good reason for ditching them whatsoever, but one of the main reasons given has a tiny bit of merit:

Allegedly, a lot of users often cheaped out on SD cards and then used them as adopted system storage where they moved all their apps to. This had the effect of completely tanking phone performance and then they would often get corrupted after a bit of use taking user data with them. This then generated a load of negative reputation about the devices being slow and unreliable, when the problem was the choice of SD card, and generated a load of wasted money in supporting these users when that happened (think unnecessary RMAs, etc).

Personally I think they should just have restricted it to A1+ SD cards, and sucked up the people complaining about their bargain bin Scrandrisk SD not working. But I guess they saw an opportunity to have their cake and eat it by just removing it and charging a premium for larger storage skus.

Plex is probably the easiest and most convenient, I think jellyfin is viable too, but I don’t use it.

If you’ve got the money, Roon or Audirvana are the gold standard of self hosted music

If you want something similar, but free, look into things like volumio or subsonic based solutions.

Unless the SD card is using a Linux filesystem, you won’t be able to use Linux access permissions.

Most SD cards are preformatted to FAT or exFAT in order to maximise compatibility. If you don’t need to use the card on any non-linux devices you should be able to reformat it and gain the ability to chown/chmod (should go without saying, but back up any data on the card you want to keep before this)

I think the borderlands games take the award for the quantity of egregious pop culture references

No, people are just super predictable, that’s why it feels like it has to be spying sometimes.

No one has ever managed to prove this is actually happening and people have been paranoid of this for over a decade now. Someone would have 100% found some evidence by now.

I’m all about this being a new meme template for dad jokes

Man these people need to start rioting, why the fuck are you lot rolling over

I guess if everyone on your street is doing the same then it’s not a problem, but it’s worth noting over half the general population will have a chronotype where noise that early will be a negative for their health.

Making noise between 10am-10pm is apparently the best for everyone

Depends on what time, for me

After about 10am is pretty fair game if a noisy job needs doing IMO. If it’s music and not obnoxiously loud, that’s probably fine too

Anyone making any noise before that though absolutely should get in the sea

I’m fine with a brioche bun, they’re upper tier buns

But don’t stack a load of stuff in there to the point the brioche disintegrates under the heft of it

That’s why we have the pretzel bun

(Likewise, don’t use a pretzel bun if you’re not gonna load it up, that bun needs grease for balance)
