Lots of firmware and driver updater programs seem to require Windows or Mac and I can’t get them to run with wine. For example, I need Win to update the firmware on my car stereo and my 8bitdo game controllers. I also need it to run the tax software my CPA uses.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition (the full trilogy)

Can you use an adblocking DNS provider to circumvent this?

Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to run these tests and share your results!

I have been looking for a replacement for Nova due to the sale but haven’t found anything that comes close re gestures. I can set up a folder with any icon I want. Tap on it and it opens the folder. Swipe up on the folder and it opens whatever app I want. Same with swipe down.

So for example I have a folder with my audio apps in it that looks like a musical note. Swipe up and it opens my music app. Swipe down and it opens my podcast app. Tap and it opens a folder with all my audio apps. It’s amazing and such a time saver. I’m gonna try Action. Sounds like it’s not quite as customisable but hopefully close enough.

I moved from Digg to reddit about 15 years ago, before the mass Digg exodus. For the last 5 years I was a paid reddit subscriber, mostly just because it was my most visited site and I wanted to support it.

Immediately after the API announcements, I cancelled my subscription and deleted all my posts. I also deleted most of my comments, and edited some to say I’ve moved to Lemmy. I planned to do that with all of them but I got bored.

There are some niche subreddits I still visit directly because I haven’t found comparable communities, but I barely use the site at all anymore. I’m enjoying Lemmy and have also dipped back into RSS feeds for the first time in about a decade.

Unless something drastically changes, I will never post or comment there again. It’s only a matter of time before I ditch it completely.

I didn’t realize you can have an OS ISO and other programs on the same USB stick. I thought the live boot ISO had to be the only thing on the stick (or multiple ISOs using Ventoy).
