I got one of these, it's pretty nice

product listings are probably the biggest category overall though. online marketplaces these days like to completely scrub finished listings from existence pretty fucking quickly rather than leaving them up for a while as sold/out of stock. which sucks a lot for research purposes

going through some old browser tabs on a computer i don't use much anymore & the amount of link rot just over the course of a few months is pretty wild tbh. and a pretty big chunk of the dead ones are fediverse posts

Well I did just "fix" it by installing them for all users. I did not come any closer to understanding the actual problem

The specific thing with the fonts seems to be that when I installed them, I did not choose to install them for all users, so they went into my user AppData fonts folder rather than the main system one & THOSE fonts are the ones not showing up
So I guess I COULD probably fix it by just reinstalling them for all users but I also want to understand why my user-specific fonts are not showing in apps that previously recognised them, especially considering I am the only user on this machine

Computers are making me insane

TOO MANY POSTS WERE MADE TO A SEMAPHORE. FUCK OFF

Some fonts I installed on Windows 11 were suddenly not showing up in SOME apps even though they were visible in the system fonts list and in other apps they did appear...So i went to check the file to see if there was anything weird about it and spotted this checkbox so I thought hmm okay and checked it
And that gave me an error which I didn't screenshot and can't make happen again but it said, and I quote "Too many posts were made to a semaphore"
WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN

I mean I suppose per terabyte they're not THAT expensive compared to how they used to be. maybe I'm just being greedy wanting so many damn terabytes

i want to get a new NAS and i've been looking at hard drives for it. hard drives are too fucking expensive!!!!!!!
