AFAIK HDDs are super resilient as long as you store them properly, I have HDDs from the 90’s and they’re still working, of course the technology advances and they have very slow speed and storage but they work. They’re basically a disc inside a metal shell that contains them so if they don’t suffer damage or get overused they should be fine.

I’m sure this is most likely for archival purposes and not for general use.

Manual labor, the Communist Party of China pays us to keep Lemmy free of bots and revisionists.

I think the only ones that do that are Showtime (which was already mentioned) and Clapper which looks even better IMO. I still have VLC installed because it has just so many other features but Clapper is really good if you don’t need to do anything weird with the video or subtitles to work. I really feel you on the GUI.

No, if you access anything Chinese through I2P you will become a dirty communist through communist transforming invisible lasers.

I have a list of the websites that I can’t use an alias that I’m signed up for, for those sadly I just leave my real e-mail address or use a secondary one depending on how much I trust the web site. Luckily I changed my alias on some that don’t let you before they added the blacklist (like Steam and GitHub) so I am able to use aliases, although they are not formatted like how I format them now.

Basically everything being said here. They don’t offer the source code of quite a few of their apps, they have very delirious ideas about what is identifiable information, they are trying to jump into the AI bandwagon, they don’t seem to have a serious plan to keep financing all the things they are doing, the dude wants to do some filtering of news based on “biased” “unbiased”, doesn’t listen to critique from users, etc.

Distrust everything by Kagi, they are the shadowy “private” company there is, it’s just propaganda.

thats not what MAL is for

I use https://therarbg.com/ and they have quite a few things unless you’re looking for some art cinema stuff or rare foreign cinema, and sometimes they have some of that just very few seeders.

Well, that’s kind of the thing, except for a few things I don’t want to customize it that much, when I’ve tried KDE in the past I just customized it a bit and it looked like shit because I didn’t spend that much time into it. I know you can make it look pretty, but I’d rather waste that time learning how to use Hyperland to be honest since it’s way more customizable and offers something else completely. Except for a better KDE Connect integration I don’t think I’m missing anything I would need on Gnome.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks ugly? Don’t get me wrong, they are improving it in many ways and it’s going in the right direction, plus a ton of features and customizability, but when I look at Gnome I don’t doubt for a second where I want to be.

I managed to boot from the USB stick while running Mint in compatibility mode. I assume that if i burn and reinstall hopefully everything would be good if the hardware is working. Maybe I could fix it but I have no idea how to know whats wrong.

Ill try this, but i also cannot boot into Mint which is what i have on my usb. Also i didnt installed zorin bur rather just added the harddrive from another pc for use and forgot to format it, ive been using ot for a while like this,l. Do you think this os still my issue?

Hey, I replaced the cable and everything seems to be working fine, thank you!

I used journalctl -k -f and this is the output, I’ve also tried dmesg and smartctl and replied with the output on other comments, and all show some kind of I/O error, I guess I’m fucked or can it be because of a bad cable or something?
