Cinnamon uses Nemo.

It might not be a feature you’re interested in re: your music (or photo) collection, but one thing I missed when switching from Windows was the folder previews showing album cover art. I’ve been using Cover Thumbnailer (on Linux Mint 21.3) and it’s been working great.

Tombstone is more expensive than Jack’s but it’s definitely a huge step up in quality. When I’m just focused on maximizing my budget Jack’s is the lowest I’ll tolerate. But if the goal is taste and quantity of toppings, Tombstone is certainly the better option.

It’s not like specific items always being unavailable, it’s just different random things being OOS necessitating a second grocery stop. It happens everywhere, but at least post Covid, and in my region, it happens consistently with Target.
e.g.:

• Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup
• Kraft mac & cheese
• (any) Butter sticks
• Jack’s frozen pizza

There’s multiple Targets much closer to me than the nearest Walmart but I can’t recall a single time I’ve gone to one and they’ve had all the items in stock I was looking for. Simple staple items that shouldn’t have scarcity problems that just aren’t being adequately ordered or stocked on shelves.

Now that I’ve finally vented about this problem I’m now also imagining the monkey paw curling and all the customer service complaint comments will just be replaced with LLM generated pro-WM propaganda :(

The Amazon situation was the first I’d heard about this problem so I assumed it was the same reason it happens on WM (and elsewhere). And while I certainly don’t expect Walmart to actually read reviews, I would think they would be concerned about potentially losing sales due to projecting a bad image and try to at least (poorly/cheaply) implement a system to address it.

Assuming it’s not like an email based feedback system but something with an asynchronous connection, it can’t be too hard to look for a handful of keywords (dent, missing, broken, spilled, delivery …) then throw up a Clippy-style message - “It looks like you’re talking about a problem with your order, would you like customer service to assist?” and then route the message/user in that direction.

I know I’m expecting a lot from our primitive technology in 2025 but I refuse to stop dreaming, dammit!

You’re probably thinking of @BeReady77@lemmy.world. I’ve been expecting another post any day but wasn’t anticipating a name change.

Please do not be alarmed, we are about to engage the nozzle.

El Torito:

El Torito is an extension designed to allow booting a computer from a CD-ROM. It was announced in November 1994 and first issued in January 1995 as a joint proposal by IBM and BIOS manufacturer Phoenix Technologies. According to legend, the El Torito CD/DVD extension to ISO 9660 got its name because its design originated in an El Torito restaurant in Irvine, California.

A 32-bit PC BIOS will search for boot code on an ISO 9660 CD-ROM. The standard allows for booting in two different modes. Either in hard disk emulation when the boot information can be accessed directly from the CD media, or in floppy emulation mode where the boot information is stored in an image file of a floppy disk, which is loaded from the CD and then behaves as a virtual floppy disk. This is useful for computers that were designed to boot only from a floppy drive. For modern computers the “no emulation” mode is generally the more reliable method.

I vaguely remember fighting with getting burned OS install discs to reliably boot. Another fun thing from around that time is if you happened to plug in the floppy drive cable backwards any disks inserted would be erased. That’s a great way to accidentally nuke your boot disk and be screwed if you weren’t near another working machine with a floppy drive. Lots of little headaches like that really drilled in the concept of redundancies and lots of backups (as well as not mindlessly installing a floppy drive).

Is this a novelty account or something, what’s with the fixation on your belly? You’ve been milking this subject for 2 months.

Just seemed like a needlessly confusing specific detail to include as it is not a necessity to have any wifi connectivity at all and might mislead OP/readers into assuming it has some relevance to ports. It should be sufficient to just say router unless the question involves SSIDs or related components specific to that connection method.

Just to clarify, nothing about ports requires wifi to be involved at all. It doesn’t need to be a wifi router, a network doesn’t have to be connected via wifi.

I liked this YouTube video about Diffie-Hellman key exchange [start at 2:25] that explains the concept using color mixtures.

The Piped bot pisses me off because it doesn’t seem to check if the triggering comment already includes the exact link it’s about to post. I used to preemptively include Piped links with any YouTube ones but since it would trigger the bot anyway I just stopped bothering.

Aside from the clutter it adds, until I added the bot itself to my blocklist (instead of just relying on “Show bots” being unchecked in settings) it would also cause reply notifications that couldn’t be cleared in the default Lemmy web UI.

I haven’t looked into it but that code has to be a creative reference to the Genesis album/song “Abacab.”

Not a response, please stop trolling.

Are you going out of your way to test the “no stupid questions” premise? You aren’t even asking a question you’re trying to make some kind of point in a roundabout way.

In all those posts there’s the common thread of you being vague and constantly alluding to some specific message you want to spread but won’t just directly state.
