What’s worse is that YouTube sometimes doesn’t do that, i.e. when you hit back it shows the same list from the cache or something. It gives you hope and makes it worse on those occasions when it does fully refresh on back.

It’s the same story in US and Canada. Illegal, but not really enforced. And when it is enforced the the penalties aren’t strong enough to be a deterrent.

It’s against FTC regulations in the US too. The trick is getting them to enforce it.

As long as it continues to be sold on store shelves, it’s modern enough to count.

I can’t see the name Crash and not think of the 1996 movie with James Spader. Which is weird as fuck.

I haven’t tried these so I cannot comment on their quality. But this has a list. Of particular note is RetroArch, OpenEMU, and Gens as three FOSS options.

Edit: Also, alternativeto.net is usually a decent source for finding alternatives for specific software. Here’s the list for Kega Fusion alternatives. This has some more options than the other link I provided.

When I set up mine, I created a separate /data mount point and drive for anything that I expect to keep between distros. The problem with keeping the home directory is that means all your personalized config files which may or may not apply to a new distro you switch to. I keep configs I want to keep in a git repo (like my i3 configs and scripts that I absolutely wouldn’t want to redo from scratch), data I want to keep in /data, and everything else can pretty much be wiped for a new distro on a whim without too much hassle.

It’s a fork bomb. It exponentially forks processes in the background in an attempt to consume all CPU cycles.

I had a similar problem with one of my displays going wibbly like that every time I rebooted during POST and system boot. Only going back to normal once X started.

When I checked my monitor’s display settings when it was wonky, I found that it had the refresh rate set to 14hz and really strange resolution. Turns out it was the display port cable. Replacing that fixed it right up.

Yeah, that is indeed the joke I was making.

Rogue*. I’m not usually that guy, but this particular typo makes me see red.

Am I missing something? What makes you say Scotland? I assume they are referring to Canada.

I just tried again now with JS enabled and my ad blocker enabled in Firefox, and it seems to be working ok now.

Whatever the reason, this appears to be fixed now.

Yes, as soon as I enabled JS I see the same behaviour. It seemed fine with JS disabled though, albeit with nothing showing in the sidebar.

Rofi is a good alternative to dmenu as well.

In every dev job I’ve ever held it’s been me or one of the other devs doing demos (usually me though). Granted I haven’t worked on anything truly high profile that a demo would be An Event.

All the benefits of their Visual Studio add-in, Resharper, are built-in to Rider.

And it’s faster because they don’t have to work within the restrictions placed on VS plugins.

Several years ago I had a significant hardware failure and was without a PC for longer than I care to admit. When I finally rebuilt it, Windows wouldn’t activate. So I nuked it and haven’t looked back. It’s not the first time I installed Linux. But it has been my daily driver since. Now I only use Windows for work, and Linux even there whenever I can (which isn’t often, but sometimes anyway.)

But the constant criticism of these new users posting in this community makes for a pretty unwelcoming community. If we want Linux’s market share to grow and become more relevant to the average user, and we really should, then we need to be a welcoming community that encourages new users. Not a community that is hostile to new users. The good news is that it seems the majority of users here aren’t complaining. But the complaint posts have been increasing it seems, and I’d personally like to see that stop.

Instead of complaining, if you don’t like a post downvote and move on.
