Given that I mostly play heavily-modded games, a run is usually "complete" when it is abandoned due to its inevitable TPS death.

I'm more curious as to why "$1.00 Drinks" costs $3.30.

If you ignore the first W it reads to me as, "Fart Free Water." That's actually an attribute I like in my water.

I love this, but also found it hilarious - especially the towel as a helicopter blade trick and your description of it being "very undesirable for the fly." I'm picturing your partner or housemate sighing and being like, "there they go again, herding flies." I can definitely see it working though.

It's funny to see you comment here because I was literally coming to this thread to mention that I see you in seemingly every comment chain and thus consider you "Lemmy-famous."

Good to know. I've only been using Proton for like 4 months now and have thus far generally liked the experience, but that's too bad about your experiences with the Drive client. I've used several paid business suites over the years through work and they all have their issues though. The only one that was generally solid was Google's and I've gradually taken steps to remove their products from my life so there's no going back to them for me. It was also almost 10 years ago since I last used Google's paid email/Drive, so maybe it's also gone to shit.

I've actually meant to try that but haven't yet gotten around to it. I'd still love an official app though, as sometimes 3rd party solutions don't work great with cloud storage (at least in my experience).

What we're begging for: A Linux client for Proton Drive

What we get: A fucking Bitcoin wallet

Weird! Thanks for letting me know. I guess that's what I get for using an app (Sync) that the developer abandons for months at a time.

  1. Go straight to jail.

Edit: No idea what's up with the formatting. In my app this shows as step 5 but it seems to render as step 1. Is the Lemmy DB done in CSS?

I mentioned this in my own top-level comment, but I just use different browsers for work and personal. Firefox for work, and my distro's fork for personal. That keeps those nicely separate.

I use them instead of virtual desktops - each with a specific hotkey, and some with customized pinned apps.

I have ...

General: Email, shopping, etc.

Gaming

Media

Two Work activities - a primary, and a secondary for when I need to compartmentalize different ongoing tasks

Other - for anything transitory that doesn't fit in the others.

I realize this could largely be done with virtual desktops, though I don't think you can have a different pinned app loadout for each?

The downside to setting things up this way is when I restart my computer, it seems to randomly decide which browser windows go in each activity. Also, with apps that I use across them (like Notion), I have to go hunting for which activity it opened in. To get around the issue of splitting Firefox across different profiles, I just use two browsers. Firefox for work, and Firedragon for personal stuff. They share the same external password manager, so it's pretty seamless.
