I’m amazed they haven’t done a remake to up the graphics and give it modern controls tbh

Look up Ship Of Harkinian, be amazed

For the first question’s answer, that doesn’t work if the directory’s file system supports extended file attributes, as Dolphin will prioritize those above the .directory file.

If I had a penny for every time I found out through the fediverse that my current anime pirate streaming website of choice shuts down, I’d have two pennies.

Which is not a lot, but GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

A quick search tells me you need to open the directory’s properties dialog and click on the icon on the top left; if you want to set directory icons programmatically maybe you can do that, then try and see what Nemo does in order to change it?

Otherwise I’m afraid you’ll need to seek some documentation for Nemo or GNOME Files (since the former is a fork of the latter), or at worst, Nemo’s code itself.

Alternatively,

Not sure how it works on other file managers (or any DE), but for Dolphin you can create a .directory file with its content like:

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=/absolute/path/to/image.png

I think it’s more or less universal.

Specifically for Dolphin, there may be a way to achieve the same with extended file attributes (getfattr/setfattr) instead of directories, but I don’t know the attr name for icons if it even exists.

Fortunately the USA wouldn’t act against foreign entities on the whim of a few companies

I beg to differ, I may concede on its multiplayer (because I played it for a few hours when it released, then got bored) but the campaign is a nothingburger filled with clichés.
The best thing people say about it is that “it went back to its roots”: except for a few references here and there and the Mark VI armor, nahhhhhhhh.

Spaces behave like this because markdown was designed to be like HTML but quicker to write and easier to read without formatting;
most web services that use markdown translate it to HTML rather than parsing it directly, and in HTML whitespaces are supposed to work like you demonstrated in your comment.

The reason for this behavior in HTML is “because someone in the 90s said so”, I’m afraid.

Discord does markdown differently than intended: it’s better for non-techies because hitting enter once is more intuitive than the alternative, but the standard way to insert line breaks in markdown is to type two spaces at the end of the line you want to break.

Windows 10 and 11 really dislike HDDs, that’s probably why you can’t admit to using HDDs online without getting stones thrown at you (I’ve been there before).

I’ve disabled paging files (= swap) for one of my Windows VMs, unfortunately - to my surprise - that only had a small performance boost, and I still need to let the VM chug for a few mintes before it even lets me open File Explorer.

… but it does improve performance, definitely consider doing it if you don’t need swap/paging/whatever they call it now.

o7, probably worth a shot

It’s not about the amount of swap space, it’s a problem that happens when swapping happens for big chunks of data at a time.

Windows aggressively swaps out things way before it’s necessary, you can try increasing the system’s “swappiness”; I’m writing this from my phone, but when I get to my PC I’ll write out how to do it (unless somebody else does it before I do).

You can set it by writing vm.swappiness=60 in a file like /etc/sysctl.d/50-swappiness.conf.
The value 60 is arbitrary, if you increase it the system will try to swap out things more aggressively; the name of the file is also partially arbitrary, but AFAIK, it has to begin with two digits — the system will read all the files inside /etc/sysctl.d in order, and the settings in higher-numbered files will be applied over lower ones.

Officially, this is the explaination of the vm.swappiness parameter.
You can read and write the value with your shell:

#!/usr/bin/bash
sysctl vm.swappiness  # shows you the current value
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=69  # sets the swappiness to 69 AND shows you the new value

A Wider and less Local LAN, if you will

It’s technically not, but it’s what redlib can do.

Personally, I simply decided to contribute as little as possible to Reddit, and I only go there for a single niche subreddit that I don’t see making it into the fediverse anytime soon (they already tried on Lemmy); I pray that scraped old.reddit.com requests have a negligible impact on engagement metrics.

Just a heads up: libreddit rebranded as redlib, you’ll save a few clicks if you search for that one instead
