ah this must be it, thanks

the prompt to restart happens to me on debian when using the software manager too.

on my manjaro machine updating via terminal doesn’t cover some updates. Opening the software manager reveals missed updates. stuff like gear level and freedesktop.org. couldn’t tell ya why.

on my fedora kde machine, it misses stuff from Discover. also not sure why.

on mint, terminal covers everything. same on debian.

I use Proton Drive in a browser

I gave it a try yesterday but ultimately the change in UI/UX kinda messed with my flow. My mouse had to travel farther across the screen to change tabs, which was the biggest downside. Too much travelling.

There were also parts of the sidebar I wished had the option to toggle hidden or visible. Didn’t really like the sidebar taking up screen real estate on the sides instead of just the top. Felt a bit too tight and squished in. Even changing from Normal to Touch mode didn’t give me enough space. I kept trying to see how I could move the bar back to the top, lol.

Ended up going back to Floorp.

the fact that this is from 2018 is even worse

LibreOffice for replacing Microsoft Office

damn im sorry that you’re only getting dads

I’ve been using Waterfox as my Firefox backup because for some reason my Firefox always crashes within 15 minutes of use, and it’s always when I’m doing impirtant shit like banking or paying a bill. Which is what I typically use the ‘legit’ browsers for, and why I just use LibreWolf for daily browsing/fuckery. Using Waterfox feels like it calls less attention when on a government website as opposed to Librewolf.

Didn’t know it was bought by an ad company once upon a time, but this is also why I spread out my browsing. I also use Ghostery, and I have Brave (for checking how things show up in a Chromium environment when programming) but I don’t like Brave and rarely use it… Point is, gotta have multiple browsers either way.

another reason to pay with cash

corporate vs. free, then zoom into free and vs. bad instances. we still need something like TheBadSpace to help with safety and moderation.

Agreed on stopping subscriptions. Don’t use Spotify.

i still judge people who film in portrait tbh. I can’t stand vertical videos, it’s the main reason i never made a tiktok.

I am also wondering this

Listen to independent radio stations. Usually can find a stream link online and plug into a music player app.

YouTube shuffle, Bandcamp feed, internet radio stations

damn I just bit the bullet and am manually updating the metadata for my library of 5000 thousand songs, mostly cause I’m old enough that this was the way I did it before Spotify, so now I’m just going back to my old ways… hope you find a solution though, it’d be mighty helpful
