I usually right click the window in the app bar and choose the “stay on top” option. This issue only happens in Wayland, also. in X11 it stays on top as expected.

None of what we speak today is “proper English.” Languages are constantly evolving.

Similar to Silence, a Signal fork that worked over SMS that I used to use. Glad to see the idea is still alive.

Absolutely this. The first half of his first book in any given series always feels like it’s going to lead to something amazing, then nothing. I feel like another writer could take his unique ideas and do something really cool with them, but I won’t ever read Sanderson again.

Sometimes I wonder if he managed to wrap up Wheel of Time satisfyingly for its fans.

It has an interesting idea for its world and magic, and then fleshes it out with the most infuriatingly boring set of characters. The main character is bland enough to allow a reader to self-insert to a degree (this is similar to the main character in Twilight — something that people critique it for.) Then some of the supporting characters border on harmful stereotypes. Plus, I guessed the “twist” in the first trilogy very early on.

Aesthetically I want to like it, but I found it awful. I only read it because it was the #1 rated fantasy book on Goodreads at the time, and since then I haven’t listened to aggregated internet reviews for anything.

Any time I see Mistborn on a list like this, I immediately become dubious about the person’s taste and discount the rest of the list.

The idea that only secretly queer people are homophobic is in itself homophobic and I’d like to see it stop being perpetuated in queer communities. Heterosexual people are responsible for heteronormativity, and therefore the vast majority of homophobia.

Are there some closeted, self-hating gays out there? Yes.

Does that mean every homophobe is a closeted, self-hating gay? No.

Unless you desperately need to free up room in your tiny SSD to make room for Baldur’s Gate 3. I recently used a tool like this to get rid of a bunch of old logs and things and managed to free up tens of gigabytes of precious space.

I highly recommend configuring qBittorrent to only connect to the VPN interface, so if your VPN is off it will simply not connect to the internet at all.

Don’t feel bad if you can’t get it to work. I’ve been making lattes at home for around 8 years and I’ve never managed to get the foam consistent.

I use it and it works very well.

I usually book things less than a month in advance.

Rnote is currently the best for handwritten notes in my opinion, but its organization is minimal. I have never found a 1:1 replacement for OneNote, but luckily I no longer need it desperately like I did a decade ago.

Straightedge is a punk subculture, so if you’re not into the music then I wouldn’t use the term.

Actually, moderators have access to a new tool that flags accounts suspected of ban evasion. The cannot see IPs or which other accounts were related, but they can see if an account is suspected and with what level of confidence. Many subreddits have a policy to ban all such flagged accounts.

That doesn’t work for the workflow of sending articles to my Kindle with a bookmarklet.

I have a Kindle. It does not support EPUB. This does affect me. I used to use a bookmarklet to send articles to my Kindle, and this would make that unfeasible.

Some of us still use devices that only support .mobi

That’s where I stopped. It was a perfect miniseries. I saw there was going to be a second season and I just rolled my eyes and resolved not to watch it. The first season ended perfectly to me.

The joke is that it contains the letter E, which is banned on the instance.
