Hey does anyone know if there's a way to make the "requires the disk to play" games work without the disk? Copying all the files from the disk into a folder or something?

My current laptop doesn't have a built-in disk drive, and the external one only works if it's been sitting on a flat surface for hours first so it's not very convenient.

Woo got Linux working! On a related note I have gotten over any fear of breaking things through the command line and also can now roll back to an earlier system backup. Yes those are related. In my defense, breaking things in interesting ways is a great way to figure out what's actually going wrong.

im having the most fucking infuriating issue with Firefox where it actively sabotages my attempts to log in to Facebook Messenger. i go to messenger dot com, enter my phone number and password (the same ones that work fine on mobile), and when i hit enter/click "log in", Firefox instantly appends ~40 characters of unknown garbage to the end of my password, making it wrong every time. this happens on the subsequent login pages, in Private Browsing mode, in Troubleshooting mode, and after deleting all relevant cookies + disabling autofill. and the worst part is that this is literally impossible to google. im at my fucking wit's end

hi! probably a silly question but on louis’ spotify profile, the top 10 songs are from different albums - for eg. waoyf is from the deluxe version. so if i were to stream the same song from the bonus version, would it be counted individually or would it add to the streams on the deluxe version?

basically, does the og, bonus, and deluxe version of fitf count the streams of the same song separately?

Hi! I did some quick research to answer this but if anyone sees this and knows for sure how it works feel free to add your knowledge.

Basically what I found is that each song is supposed to be registered on a code to put it on a streaming platform. You know registration websites like GEMA, they have the ISWC code of each song. According to this source, the artist/their team must make sure that the songs they're releasing multiple times (as a single album, on the standard album, deluxe ver etc) are all on the same ISWC code, so no matter which album they are, the streams will all be counted as one.

There's also this article from Spotify but I find the wording a bit confusing but i read it as the opposite of what was said above. I would advise streaming whatever version is most streamed.

Begging Tumblr users to finally discover Linux

Everyone keeps complaining about Google and advising to use Firefox etc while still using OS produced by Microsoft which is just like Google maybe worse. Linux is literally free and out there, there are so many different distributions produced in different countries and so much free open source software. Go grab yourself a flashdisk and do yourself a favour. Tbh if you get Ubuntu it is very easy to set up(seriously if you managed to download firefox and add Ublock you probably are very much capable of installing Ubuntu), has shit ton of support online, comes with many useful programs preinstalled and you can even get an add-on to make it look more like windows. Nothing is stopping you

Edit: people are also recommending Linux Mint a lot so you can give that a try! (Personally I have never used it but it looks very windows-like at least when it comes to the UI layout)

Tech product guides trying to troubleshoot your issues: lol have you tried turning it off and turning it on again 🧐 I'm not going to read any of the things you said you did, if it doesn't work then get fucked. Go to settings and click this option that you said isn't even there anymore

Reddit: here's some actual helpful suggestions on where to find settings that can fix your problem. We're more reliable than google search. Except for when we just tell you to buy new hardware instead of trying to fix your problem
