I haven’t seen such warnings for years anymore

Just got the upgrade today. It failed somewhere halfway, made a mess and destroyed grub with no way to restore it.

I’ll just mention QMMP which is basically a Winamp clone. Works great and I’ve used it for many years now.

Happened to me as well, freezing up the whole system, especially with many/large files. None of the suggestions I found online actually worked. Happened on USB drives as well.

Then my whole HD gave up completely. Replaced it and all problems are gone. USB drives as well: turns out Linux at least tries to read it so you can attempt to save some data, while Windows just says it’s unreadable.

I tried it on a new Lenovo (AMD). The cursor size changed its size from normal to microscopic, depending on the application you hover over. Went back to X, no issues there.

Still can’t run Wayland on my system (Nvidia) at all.

Just tried it and it’s annoying. Also the calculation line doesn’t follow the font settings.

I’m normally using Albert Launcher to calculate, similar to krunner, it works better.

I really doubt that.

Czechia. In many supermarkets “discounts” only apply when you have a card/app. Essentially the “discount” is normal price, otherwise you’ll pay nearly double.

I’m using fake names on all those things, but prices without loyalty are often insane. It’s basically an extra tourist tax.

I rarely use cash. Nearly everything I spend is on supermarket and they know exactly what I buy because we’re forced to use their “loyalty” programs anyway.

Then traveling: dealing with other currencies, coming home with unspendable money. And there’s no interest on cash lying around.

But I hate the tendency for places to not accept cash at all, there should still be a choice.

One bonus is that I keep finding money on the streets in countries that love cash.

Depends where you go. My Czech bank card is a debit card with a number on it that you can use like a credit card. Dutch banks don’t have this and we use different online payment methods. I never really needed a credit card for anything (until I traveled in France) so the price to have one is not worth it.

You’re not supporting development, you’re supporting a rich guy getting richer:

Interesting to note that the Mozilla CEO earned nearly as much ($5.6 M) as Mozilla received in donations ($7 M).

Travel, nothing tech related

Fwiw, my blog’s statistics say Linux is around 10% and I know a lot of browsers identify themselves as running on Windows when they’re not, so I wonder how it’s measured.
