My laptop's HDD is failing, it shows a bunch of signs such as slow file manipulation and clicking sounds. The Linux btrfs partition keeps going into read-only mode to prevent further damage, makes sense, but the windows partition is working fine (for now).

Shouldn't harddrive failure be evident on all partitions?

I don't have this problem when reading novels or comics on the same devices, what gives?

It seems every good option is paid, and all others are either discontinued (trelby, fountain) or filled with commercial and AI tools (Story Architect)

This is weird and discouraging, coming from the novel world where you could use a plain markdown editor and export it to epub/pdf/whatever you need. Anyone know of something better for screenwriting?

Basically I want a way to plan out my routine and stuff to accomplish on days of the week, like do X on Friday. I tried Planner but it seems to not have something like my latter example.

There is someone on a server I like that likes to put sexist or homophobic religious lines, this isn't really a big deal as I don't have to interact or even look at that area. Would still be really nice though

I like to use Pinterest to save and make boards of artworks for inspiration. The thing is, the desktop experience is weird at best, clunky and slow at worst. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for suggestions to play on my upcoming PC upgrade, since I feel the only "impressive new games" are medieval with no fantasy or military/modern shooters—nothing wrong with those, this just makes me feel like there aren't many games of my taste after all.

No hate against 2D games, they're my favorites in fact! I pretty much played them all though, and I'm in the mood for something 3D lol.

On-topic Games I Have Played and Enjoyed

• Elden Ring
  • From Software™ games in general
• Terraria
• Minecraft
• Bethesda™ and Obsidian™ games

Thanks for reading!

I've gotten pretty far using FOSS tools when it comes to making games, but I would like something like Substance Painter so I can fully dabble into 3D.

Nothing AAA quality or very professional, I just want something that works good enough for my indie games lol.

Me and my friend just want something to brainstorm and write our ideas down on. Cryptpad is a decent I've considered, it has rich text editing which I don't need though it's nice.

For context; I live in a NOT progressive country/region where being LGBT is illegal, and I often post in LGBT spaces. I want to do digital transactions but am afraid of the above will quickly get me in jail.

I'll give it a shot, "I thought I apologized already, but whatever…"

(This is a half-rant half actual question)

I wanted a nice qt theme to use on Scribus since Arc Dark doesn't work on there. When I tried to install it, pacman said this will install 50 packages. 300 Mb in total.

Why does a theme need packages such as Kauth and Kwallet?

In universe I mean, not by the reader. I remember the few times I saw stories like that were fairly… cringe; the MC was usually a loner and the people didn't have a good reason to hate him, if any at all!

But when there is a reason, whether it would be something they did in the past or being bad in the present? I love the drama and conflict potential. Does anyone know a book like this?

Specifically in early childhood or teen years.
