That is ridiculously small for the price. Is it meant to make a profit or something?

I had this happen to me with a hardware-encrypted bitlocker drive. I was forced to buy a new SSD, actually.

When using Opal (hardware encryption), it locks down the drive. Not even a secure erase would wipe/release the damn thing.

It would have if I actually had the PSID 🥲

It was an expensive lesson to take photos of my new drives and store the PSID and serial numbers in KeePass.

Communism would work if it weren't for people trying to co-opt it for power

As long as there exists a way to gain power over others, someone will do it. That's just the reality of our nature, unfortunately.

Tankies have a lot of confirmation bias. Facts alternate to their beliefs that communism is the be-all, end-all of human suffering don't go over well with them.

It might be if it were actually achievable in the way it was envisioned, but ideal communism isn't the communism we see anywhere in reality.

From a theoretical point, they don't count as communist. They entirely dropped the all-important aspect of giving power to the working class.

Both the USSR and China, in their self-described "communist" periods, were ruled with absolute power and directed by a head of state. The USSR collapsed, and modern China is about as communist as North Korea is democratic.

Name a real-world implementation of communism that either isn't Marxist–Lenninist, or one that is and has moved beyond the "dictatorship of the proletariat" stage. I'll be waiting.

Don't forget %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Programs, where some programs get installed to because the developer doesn't want to make it a system wide installation.

Game save data? No, my documents.
Application config files? Again, my documents.
Temporary documents I don't care about keeping? Downloads, duh.
My actual documents? Desktop.
My desktop? Turned icons off because it was too messy.

Just another day using Windows...

This should be considered a war crime, and doubly so when they don't even have the decency to prefix it with a dot (looking at you Golang). It's my home folder, not a dumping grounds for random trash.

Sure it does! Throw that festering pile of garbage into a docker container and keep it away from everything important while bind mounting the arbitrarily-placed config directory in the container to something sane on the host.

What does snap do to your home directory? I haven't touched Ubuntu in a very long time

Agreed. It's much nicer to see your wallpaper than a mess of mismatched icons that may need to be occasionally clicked.

If you're using Windows, you can get a much better experience by ditching the Microsoft start menu entirely.

Everything Search to index files and Flow Launcher for searching files and applications. You can even make it open when you press the windows key.

Or if you still want a start menu, Start11 is worth paying for to get away from Microsoft's ad-ridden crapware they call the start menu. It even supports using Everything for showing file results.

I wish someone would try that pickup line on me. All I get is "are you an IPv4 address? You look like you've been shared around between a few hundred households" :(
