Let it never be said that I'm a leecher
  • I started using qbit about a year ago after using deluge. I have gb down and 100mb up.

    Unironically, a lot of that ratio is from Linux isos and other open source software distribution. Take the load off their servers!

  • Trudeau government to send $250 cheques to most people, slash GST on some goods
  • I guess the surprising thing is that depending on the province, a gross salary of $150k nets well over $350 or so per day (before union dues, CPP, benefits, etc). Ultimately though, $250 is less than a day’s work.

    Like, I get that you might be supporting a kid or 5, and maybe live in an expensive city, and that $150k doesn’t support that. Canada is fucked right now, and that’s not lost on anyone. But if that’s the case then $250 is like a squirt gun on a forest fire.

  • What you rather?
  • You used to be able to paste any number of emails into a group in outlook. Now you have to add one email at a time.

    Got 100 email addresses to add to a group? Fuck you.

    No “upgrade” has impeded my productivity as much as W11 and the new office.

  • Recommend me good e-reader
  • Have you used Koreader? That’s one reason I would get a kobo. As well as their new partnership with ifixit.

    I also like the idea (which apparently doesn’t work with koreader) of syncing with Pocket. I don’t use Pocket, but would start if it meant I had a nice read it later ereader.

  • Apple explains why the Mac Mini power button is hidden underneath
  • My understanding is that M4 is very efficient, and I would imagine that its energy use on sleep is negligible.

    And as for affordability, I think the M4 Mac mini is supposed to be a terrific deal, no? As long as you use the base specs.

  • Having to use windows at work makes me appreciate my desktop Linux experience at home.

    I’m a teacher and our division just “upgraded” to W11 with a new version of outlook that is basically a web app on desktop. Several times a day my laptop comes to a complete crawl while Teams decides to open itself. Can’t open or close programs, Firefox won’t register mouse clicks, nothing. Graphical glitches appear al the time with menu bars and task bars disappearing regularly, requiring force quitting the app or logging out of the desktop.

    When I first switched to Linux I assumed my experience would be like this. But now it’s the other way around.

    Rant over.

    Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?

    I've been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it's for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence, I'm kind of tied to GDrive.

    Is there a reliable method of doing this? Rclone seems to be what I want but it seems to disconnect regularly, and often doesn't upload the changes I make which defeats the purpose.

    Do Linux users just not use Drive?
