the most enraging thing i’ve ever experienced on windows was when they started automatically “off-loading” files on my drive because i was running out of space. what the fuck, fuck you, i needed that, die in a fire and never touch my drive again. if i need more space i will fucking make more space

the hitler references i can look past as bad low-effort edgy teen jokes, but him following a bunch of actual alive nazis on twitter is the most damning to me. good riddance, glad that i unsubscribed back when he was exposed for plagiarism. what a talentless hack

this is Drew Gooden and The Yard for me. i have whitelisted them on sponsorblock because their ad reads are so fucking funny. also obligatory shoutout to Internet Comment Etiquette

cheers!

this is a complete uneducated guess from a relatively tech-illiterate guy, but could it contain mac-specific information about weird non-essential stuff like folder backgrounds and item placement on the no-grid view?

gonna start lovingly referring to good software tools as “little fuckers”

hide the native tabs

YES! i currently have to use custom css to achieve this, would be so much more convenient if it was an extension

kinda excited to see what their native vertical tabs will look like. i’ve been using sidebery for the past ~3 years and i’m extremely satisfied with it, i somehow doubt their native version will look as good

yep, this is what i meant

ah, yeah i see what you mean!

i mean, i have never in my life seen this case anywhere. until i saw your comment i thought it was some shitty startup manufacturer trying really desperately to become a “cool” brand. but i guess that’s not far off from what google is. makes sense that they would design something this tacky

mirror’s edge

also portal 2 somewhere in there

moving large files

this is not a solution to the issue of mac for no reason not wanting to mount your drive, but are you familiar with SyncThing? i’ve been using it since like 2015 and have never had an issue, it’s super fast and local. requires both devices to be powered while transferring, though

my new year’s resolution this year was stop wasting time replying to dumbasses online

it’s not going very well but it’s the thought that counts. we’ll get em next year

thank you for the explanation and the examples :) i will no longer be so ignorant about security updates

i know you guys are probably right when you say that security updates are important, but why exactly? give me an example of how i could be fucked over while i’m just mindlessly playing my steam games and watching twitch+youtube on a system that hasn’t been updated since 2016.

i blindly assume that as long as i don’t download and run stupid .exes or click stupid links, i am completely fine

dozens of variations

this is like saying windows 10 and 11 are completely different operating systems that can’t run the same .exes

just learned through another reply, thank you for putting my mind more at ease brothers 🤝

oh damn, didn’t know about tor’s history either! thank you for the relief. faith restored cautiously

well, this is concerning to hear. i had no idea signal was funded by the US state
