SteamOS is arch, so some of the derivatives are too.

Steam shouldn’t really care though.

He wants all of his books in one index.

Can you lock it so only you can upload?

It sounds like a useful way to share stuff with friends, but not if any random person can upload stuff.

Apple does better than the Android experience described in the article, but it also isn’t perfect. There are apps that don’t recognize that you need a password and are difficult to trigger the autofill (especially with a third party manager), and on very rare occasion it fails in the browser, too. It handles multi-page passwords just fine though.

Not trying to measure dicks or whatever, just giving a point of comparison. Without investigating, I wonder if some sites/apps don’t correctly indicate to the browser/OS that they’re passwords and what they’re for. I haven’t had real issues on my Android reader with proton pass, though that isn’t a huge set of apps I use.

Just going to throw this out there for fellow introverts.

This is stupid as hell.

A lot of libraries offer 3D printing for about the cost of materials.

It’s worth trying out before dropping huge cash if it’s possible near you.

I’m not downvoting, but the fact that kernel malware games don’t work is a feature to me. It would be a full time job to keep from installing anything that demands obscene access for no legitimate reason on Windows. “It doesn’t work” is way easier.

Pretty much everything else on Steam works without effort.

To be fair, people having ideas for features is a valuable contribution in its own right.

Entitlement to them, not so much. But feature suggestions have value even if many of them aren’t practical and many more never get added.

Even video has come a long way.

It isn’t actually good, but you can tell what’s happening.

I’m curious.

I wonder what the pricing is.

You pretty clearly don’t know what a call to action is, or an ad is, because “please give money” is very obviously a call to action, and many ads make no effort whatsoever to sell any product.

Yes. It is literally impossible for an organization asking for money not to be an ad.

And yes, showing me a single ad once means I never give them money again. I am not OK with ads.

Yes, it is an ad. Any call to action is an ad.

And its mere presence will ensure I don’t give them any more money. The core concept of inserting any ad in an OS is not behavior I am willing to reward.

It’s not complicated.

It’s an ad.

There’s no version of advertising I will ever be OK with.

It’s implemented as a KDE Daemon (KDED) module, which allows users and distributors to permanently disable it if they like.

Eh. I guess good enough.

But I’m still opposed on principle.

Wall of text?

I answered a suggestion with very clear preferences that something not use a trainwreck of a directory structure and you pointed me to a post on how to make a trainwreck of a directory structure, so I wrote a short paragraph again clarifying that I’m not OK with that.

I don’t want anything automated. I just want to be able to do it manually with a database that handles all of the metadata and organization and literally no folders but the top level one containing every file. Calibre’s insistence on me either having incorrect author information or splitting everything with multiple authors into unique folders for every combination is most of the reason I can’t stand it. The actual bulk editing tools are good. The end result of a mess of folders isn’t.

I’m not OK with folders, especially nested folders.

I’m aware of it and explored it a little, but the folder structure requirements are the opposite of what I’m interested in. I want to dump everything in one place and use the UX of my reader to manually build series, adjust metadata, and do everything else.

Most of the benefits of it are really only useful in its browser based reader, which is also a dealbreaker, and it doesn’t really add anything to Moon Reader because OPDS integration doesn’t actually sync anything, which is the whole reason I’d want a dedicated server over just having everything in a cloud drive.

It’s cool if it works for you, but it doesn’t really solve any of the problems I want solved.

Notifications are bad, but the constant dopamine stimulation of having 24/7 access to stuff like Facebook and TikTok is also bad without notifications.
