Thanks I remember using this the last time I tried to use MO2 and it worked well, it was everything else that was the nightmare.

Heh, third time’s a charm I guess! I love how they went from Nexus Mod Manager to Vortex and now back to Nexus Mod App 😂

I’m a Linux SysAdmin, so I’m well versed in Linux. My server, laptop and phone all run it, but my desktop still runs Windows 10 because modding Skyrim (via MO2) is a pain in the ass (apparently there have been a lot of improvements in this area in the past year or two since I last tried).
Windows is such a garbage OS. For the past week or so, ModOrganizer2 would hang for a few seconds anytime I attempted to explore the files of a mod I had installed. MO2 gave no hints regarding what the issue was. I searched for an answer last night and found it on GitHub: a disconnected network drive is the cause…even though everything I was accessing is local 🤦♂️ This apparently affects various programs and isn’t specific to MO2, since the person that posted the solution found the original solution in a Steam bug report from over 2 years ago!
I unmounted the network drive and everything was back to normal! Fucking garbage OS.

This is just bizarre…
I’m gonna go fondle my sweaters and then hump the fridge.

Such an odd choice because these things have existed for years. I have one that charges 4 JoyCons.

Is AWS not an option for reasons other than money?

Someone definitely got fired for that. This is why you don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.

Hahaha nice!
- Comment on Reddit locks down its public data in new content policy, says use now requires a contract 6 months ago:
Unfortunately, we see more and more commercial entities using unauthorized access or misusing authorized access to collect public data in bulk, including Reddit public content, worse, these entities perceive they have no limitation on their usage of that data, and they do so with no regard for user rights or privacy, ignoring reasonable legal, safety, and user removal requests. While we will continue our efforts to block known bad actors, we need to do more to restrict access to Reddit public content at scale to trusted actors who have agreed to abide by our policies. But we also need to continue to ensure that users, mods, researchers, and other good-faith, non-commercial actors have access.”
So, pay to get access, like Google did with their $60 million deal. We’re nothing but money to them.

I can see it.
- Comment on Huawei phone has a pop-out camera lens, just like a point-and-shoot camera 6 months ago:
Most users don’t have a choice between thick or thin, especially if you’ve bought into the Apple ecosystem. Either you take their increasingly thin phones (remember the one that was so thin that it would start to deform from being in the front pocket of Skinny Jeans?) or you’re “left behind”.
The Android world isn’t much better. Same thing goes for “tall vs short” phones. Try and find a top-tier phone that’s 5" or smaller.
- Comment on Huawei phone has a pop-out camera lens, just like a point-and-shoot camera 6 months ago:
I’m pretty sure a lot of people agree with me, I remember seeing a poll a while ago where people said that they would rather have a thicker phone with more battery life than a thinner one.
- Comment on Huawei phone has a pop-out camera lens, just like a point-and-shoot camera 6 months ago:
I would definitely rather have a thicker phone and have the back be uniform rather than a huge camera bump. It makes holding the phone in landscape so awkward.
- Comment on Huawei phone has a pop-out camera lens, just like a point-and-shoot camera 6 months ago:
Yes, just what everyone wants, an even bulkier camera bump!

You are aware that many cultures eat every single part (that is edible/digestible) of the animal they kill, right?
Tons of people eat eyes, brains, tails, feet, etc…

You just haven’t had the right corndog, if they’re fried poorly the cornbread coating can get mushy and nasty.

So how do you know one would regret eating 7 if you’ve never eaten 1? 🤔
