Flaky

Pretty much, yeah. I think Windows uses something like \\PhysicalDisk0 internally, then shows it to the user with lettering.

Taiko no Tatsujin is on iOS through Apple Arcade iirc, if you like rhythm games.

That's for mounting, yeah, but when it comes to interacting with the hardware, Linux itself uses letters for some types of devices. For example, serial-connected ones (e.g. SATA internal drives, USB external drives) are /dev/sdx (x being a letter from A-Z). I don't know what happens when all letters are used up though, maybe someone can chime in there? NVMe uses numbers it seems - my boot drive is /dev/nvme0n1

There are other ways to access devices and partitions besides that though. I just had to put EndeavourOS on a flash drive and the Arch Wiki recommended doing this by targeting the drive via /dev/disk/by-id/, which lists connected drives by name, connectivity and serial number.

I mainly like RCT3 but the first two games do fill a little part of my nostalgia as well. OpenRCT2 is a great project. Need to set this up when I get EndeavourOS installed later.

What I think has happened is that Reddit performed a rollback after the crash happened during the blackout. I've had comments from 2021-22 being restored and which ones did get restored were pretty random. Twitter had a similar situation a while ago.

The only thing I don't like is when I mouse-over the main pages, the menu that pops up doesn't match at all. Other than that it's a good update.

I see the Lego comparison and I admit, when I built computers when I was younger I did that exact comparison.

Nowadays I would say it's more akin to building Ikea furniture than Lego. It can be daunting, especially the more expensive you go, and depending on one's situation it might even be better to have someone else do it, but if you do build it, it's very rewarding. IIRC the CEO of AMD made that Ikea comparison and it's a lot more apt IMO.

I'll be honest, when I was looking for places to get a PC built, Reddit was of little help either. Constantly telling me to build it myself when I couldn't even if I wanted to.

(Eventually did get a PC built, paid more mainly due to UK VAT)

Eurovision is probably the one I'll miss the most from Reddit. The people I talked to their were real chill.

• YouTube, with a watch later playlist. I heard on fedi that YouTube's recommendations are absolute garbage if you use an adblocker. I don't know how true it is, but if it is it explains why I've transitioned to using Watch Later.
• The fediverse instance I use that's solely for microblogging.
• Rate Your Music. Probably my favourite music site right now, and one of the few sites I've given money to. It's great for discovering new music that you'll love IMO. It's been going on for a couple decades now, definitely worth having a look.
• MusicBrainz, which is basically a giant encyclopedia of music releases for computers to use. I've added releases to MusicBrainz from stuff I've bought. If you've used MusicBee, MP3Tag, or their own tagger Picard, you've used MusicBrainz. I've since replaced Last.fm with ListenBrainz since the data quality on the latter is much better than Last.fm.
