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!!!!!!!
