Next step: dismantle US bases in EU and send the terrorists back whence they came from

My advice is to plan for eventually ditching windows completely. Use it in the beginning while youre learning, for tasks that you need to get done but dont know how on linux, but once you get comfortable with the general linux stuff, i recommend ditching the crutch of windows. That way youll be forced to use linux, which is the only way youll learn how to do those things on it.

Its so much more convenient to have just one system, and also windows has been known to mess up linux installs (replaces bootloader with its own m$ one which doesnt recognise linux. Not too bad to fix but its a pain you dont need for ever)

How would I try to track the issue down given I don't exactly know when the issue will appear? Is there a way to set something like a listener on the discord process and just wait for it to happen and see what else happens around that time?

I just replied to someone else below with regards to the drive checks. I could also go ask on the arch forums, or maybe in some irc chats if theres people actually in there

I dont believe its a drive failure after checking. Its a pretty new NVMe drive:

    
$ sudo smartctl -t short /dev/nvme0n1p3
smartctl 7.5 2025-04-30 r5714 [x86_64-linux-6.17.8-arch1-1] (local build)

Self-test has begun (NSID 0x1)
Use smartctl -X to abort test

$ sudo smartctl -H /dev/nvme0n1p3
smartctl 7.5 2025-04-30 r5714 [x86_64-linux-6.17.8-arch1-1] (local build)

Also with nvme-cli:

As for flatpacks, I'd like to avoid such install methods if possible, at least for now. Whats weird is I don't think I've come across anyone else with this issue, so I doubt its something wrong in general with the packagement process.

Theyre the powerhouses of cells, so why shoulnt they be the ones reaping the rewards of their labour?

Is... Is this the order for wiring rj45 connectors?

It seems Ive installed it through the official repositories:

    
$ pacman -Qm | grep "discord\|Discord"
// EMPTY OUTPUT

  

Ill get back to you about the drive checks, either tomorrow evening or the day after. Ive got a technical assessment for a job position tomorrow so I'll have to look into that issue after that. :)

As I mentioned replying to @just_another_person@lemmy.world, my root partition is on an NVME which is not even 3 years old yet, and I have not had any other problems with it apart from discord, so I don't think its a drive failure issue, but better safe rather than sorry, so if you'd be so kind as to let me know how you'd like me to test/verify its health I'd appreciate it :)

Is it possible that the read-only error occurs because the directory its trying to write to doesn't exist (/opt/discord/resources/app.asar/node_modules/electron-log/src/core/ doesnt exist)? It may be a stupid question but as I said I've no idea how node works so consider me as having the intelligence of a rock when it comes to it

Thanks, yea i was asking about the 3d printed one :)

I managed to clean mine a bit with rubbing alcohol, but some of the staining remains. For now ill stick with what i have, and keep the 3d printing idea in my back pocket :D

Ill try cleaning it anyway. Do you mind posting a picture of your case here please?

Ive got some, Ill give it a shot

And this time, in her final form muahaha

shocked pikachu face

Ill steal some suggestions I liked from other commenters and add my own.

• Draw a picture
• Write a letter to someone
• Find home on the map and calculate distances to school, grandparents, friends, etc
• Make a simple song
• Design something simple using CAD software (you'd need to find something really simple to learn/use. Someone suggested a program that I assume allows you to design minecraft buildings external to minecraft)

And most importantly for me:

• Research one or several topics. Youd need to do the research yourself beforehand, as well as pick topics you know align roughly with your child's areas of interest, but if they gain the skill of looking up information for themselves and finding the answer, pretty much anything is within their grasp IMO. Maybe set this as the first one so they can apply it for whatever further challenges you set them (extreme example but e.g. "How to create dog in blender" if you set them the task of using blender to design something). On that note, maybe set 2 distinct types of research topics - such as technical tasks and information tasks. What I mean is: "how do i install x, y, z program and use it" would be a technical task in my opinion, whereas something like "why are farmers legally forbidden from replanting seeds from their crops" would be an information task.

Best of luck!

What am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts, or what am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts AND have the other person understand and change their view/opinion on? Two different scenarios

I mean, i also only post/comment on lemmy to elicit responses, am I a troll too? Thats kinda the point of posting/commenting. Hes not doing it for ragebaiting as far as i can tell. I also think it would be attention seeking if that was the entire content of his profile, but its not. He posts in communities about the community topic, and it seems to be adding value to those communities. He just uses a dofferent way of writing and you call him a troll, a well known one too.

Why do you think hes a troll? I stalked his account after you said that and it seems perfectly normal. Also in a previous comment he mentioned its to mess with scrapers. Not sure how viable/valid that is, but i see no indication of him being a troll, let alone a well-known one

Well i hardly expect the pope to be a smoker
