I can tolerate Mariah, the one I can’t stand is the band aid one, patronising crap. Every damn year I gotta put up with those muppets telling me how nothing ever grows in Africa. Dammit, now I have it in my head!

I have chronic ear problems, and I’ll usually get someone telling me I should try ear candling. Luckily they stop when I tell them to look up the videos of people using the candle with a jar and getting the same “wax” extracted.

I’ve had a black screen of death on Mint. All I was trying to do was crop a video on kdenlive. It black screened on me and somehow even messed up the boot menu so that my Mint was showing up as just Ubuntu. I went straight back to Shotcut after that. I really wanted to switch from Windows to Linux, but so far, Linux, or at least Mint, really hates me. Up till recently, I was still using Mint for my music storage, but it has trouble even moving files onto my phone now. I’ve pretty much given up.

I can confirm. I use Mint and I don’t understand it.

Yeah the infamous block editor. As an old skool hand-coder, I can’t stand it. You have to manually enable classic editing each time on WordPress.com otherwise it defaults to the Gutenberg editor. I heard it’s improved somewhat recently, but when I first used it it was the biggest load of crap, worse than the beep beep boop one, which was at least useable. It was both dumbed down and unintuitive at the same time.

At least on a .org installation, classic editor disables Gutenberg completely.

I do that. I have WordPress.org with classic editor enabled and the raw html plugin. Use a classic layout like twenty twelve if you don’t want the fancy effects. Look for a host that has softaculous or something similar to automate the installation. My host charges about £60 pa with unlimited bandwidth.

You can also use WordPress.com for free but it has Gutenberg, which I absolutely cannot bear. Some people like it though. It’s also less customisable.

It enables a local vpn on your device. Yes, it’s in the ddg browser, but it’s blocking it from the actual apps.

I enabled it just now and got a massive list from opening the memrise app. In total, 212 so far over 3 apps. I’ve been using ddg for ages, I never really gave a second thought to the optional features. Thanks to everyone who’s been posting screenshots of it!

Edit:

Droplets is literally a kid’s app.
