I'm sure anyone reading that has used Android in the last year has some gripes about the media control "tool" too. You cannot get that thing to operate in any sensible way. Screw me for using a music player, an audiobook player, playing videos on Firefox, and a podcast app. I don't want every one of those to live there forever!!!!! The only way to get the various apps to disappear is a long press and clicking hide, only until you use the app again. The buttons fail to work all the time. Then it glitches out, gets stuck ⅔ of the way through a swipe and is completely unusable. Maybe I'm missing it but it's not able to be turned off - I don't even want it off but it shouldn't break every single day. I hope someone else is as sick of this part of the UI as I am.

Yes, I know that I should move to Graphene before someone tells me.

I'm almost positive it is, should be stock with a 2002 WRX.

 

Leather steering wheel, and I cannot get this residue out. I've only tried leather cleaner / conditioner so far though.

Thank you for mentioning spaghetti and marshmallows, I never would've remembered that game otherwise! Too bad there's no version currently though.

Thank you for sharing!

That didn't compromise the White House building, from your own link? I can see saying it compromised the White House in the sense of the executive branch.

It hung in the ambassador's Moscow residential study at Spaso House for seven years, until it was exposed in 1952 during the tenure of Ambassador George F. Kennan.[7]

The Left Hand of Darkness - I read most of it a few years ago, never finished it. On my way to finish it in a few days!

Why wasn't he wearing a bulletproof vest? Doesn't he realize that his clothes would make this happen??

I'm sorry cause I don't have a source, but by another Lemmy comment anecdote I remember reading PieFed does have subcategories. I.e. /art/paintings . Worth checking in to!

I believe so - I never know which is the "right" domain- if there is a right domain.

Seems to be. I like using fmhy.pages.dev to check things like what domain is correct:

These 20+ year old cars just call out to me...

 

As in, if you were applying to delivery positions but you know they'll test for cannabis, would you even apply / interview? What about in a jurisdiction where the drug is recreationally legal?

 

However, I also ordered a new head unit and learned I'll have to take the knob off in order to get the new radio in, so I did some redundant work. Mildly frustrating to have to repeat the steps. The car front seats are also not comfortable while working on the center of the cabin. I've never been in another car with such rigid left and right sides of the seat parallel to my legs.

 

I've been struggling to get ratios over even 1.0, most are stuck in the low 0.10 - 0.20 range. I don't seed off my gaming PC 24/7 because I don't want a VPN on all the time, plus I turn it off at night.

So mainly wondering if anyone has tips on a good setup to keep the PC seeding overnight, I'm running linux mint currently. I also have a RaspPi but I understand they are not great for torrents?

Is there any good way to compartmentalize a VPN? I.e., use the VPN for qBitTorrent only, and use my regular network adapter for other stuff (games, browsers, whatever).

I've tried a seedbox in the past and they're neat, but I'd rather avoid a subscription and just use my hardware. I'm using Private Internet Access VPN until my already paid for time is up in case that's significant.

 

I play a lot of windowed games on my PC as I watch less engaging content like TV I've seen, Youtube. Lately Balatro, Peglin, a racing game called art of rally, Mini Motorways. Interested to hear other people's preferences.

I generally want something that runs well windowed because I use a third of my ultrawide to run the video, so no shooters or "big" games usually.
