What do you mean by privacy? If you mean like other people you may live with/come across having access to your data, the best solution is having an encrypted drive/partition. No DE or standard login is going to stop a determined threat actor from just pulling out your storage device and reading off what’s on there.

yes, it’s mostly things like games or software

though, I have seen more & more reports of people finding malicious disguised LNK files in their downloads and torrents, which will run some arbitrary command if you open that: Windows does not ever show the LNK extension, so a file could be named “<whatever>.mkv.lnk”, and you would only know if you checked the “file type” column in Explorer (which would read “Shortcut” instead of something like “Matryoshka file”), or when you see the cmd.exe window flicker open and close.

bonus edit: LNK is the native file extension that Windows uses to link app shortcuts, such as the shortcuts on your desktop.

I’ve never heard of AWT being incompatible with Wayland, I’d love to read more on that if you have any!

*.c files are C source files, you can’t run these directly. Run the makefile with sudo make or sudo make install (assuming you have make installed) to build (or build and install) the driver.

edit: Oops didn’t read far enough into your post, you’ve already tried make. What error does it give you?

Decided to buy another drive instead of doing any more harm than I needed to, no worries

Yep, I’ve just ordered another 8tb to copy to and avoid the headache that could be a drive failure. And it’ll certainly be faster, gparted is still giving a 13 hour ETA for the first resize! Thanks for the help!

No issues with the GPlay version on Android 11

due to the way the Fediverse works (servers hosted on many different machines rather than one large machine), text search isn’t (officially) possible. on Mastodon you have the option of searching by hashtags, but I don’t think that works on Lemmy.

you would have to use an external search engine like DuckDuckGo, Google or something like https://www.search-lemmy.com/
