I reckon this is probably what the issue is. Maybe it’s of a device type where an icon wasn’t created or where some reference to the icon’s image is broken. Thank you.

Everything seems to be working fine and it mounts successfully. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks for responding, but no, I have 3 devices plugged in at the moment and the icons don’t change regardless of which one I have selected. This is the only one with an ‘x’ icon. It doesn’t appear to prevent me from using it, but I’m unsure if it’s indicative of an issue with the device itself. Maybe it just means it isn’t a recognised device. Kind of wish Nemo had tooltips or something.

Crew of Soyuz 11: “Well, screw you too!”

Edit: it’s both extremely telling and extremely concerning how much my rational take on consent is triggering all these pathetic men.

Your initial comment was rational, it was well-thought out and you made a fair point while ending the comment on a positive note. Left alone, I would have upvoted your well-considered opinion and moved on.

However, your follow up responses and your edit were unprovoked ad hominem sexist attacks where you assume everyone who disagrees is a mansplaining penis-wielder whose words have less value than your own. While having your views challenged can be confronting, responding in the manner you are only detracts from your argument.

This post makes me question my interpretation of events.

I have acquaintances who seem to have a paranoid belief that every other person in the world is a paedophile just waiting for an opportunity to kidnap their child. Growing up in the 90s, I had a great deal of freedom in comparison to this thought process. I played cricket on the streets, I walked around the neighbourhood without concern, I walked my dog in the evenings. My parents didn’t seem to think I would be unsafe without them around to coddle me.

I guess no matter the generation there are parents who go too far in one extreme or another… Though tbh, being concerned about witchcraft seems more medieval than boomer. Sorry for your loss, but I’m glad you feel more free now. I imagine it must be a complex mix of emotions.

I’ve been using Linux on and off for years and I’ve never really understood what these different directories are for. If I don’t know where something is I just search for it, though more often than not whatever I’m looking for is somewhere in the home directory. I’m also not sure of the accuracy of this though. I have a VM in /run, and an SSD and thumb drive in /media. I would’ve expected these to be in /mnt.

Not a good comparison. To produce milk regularly cows must give birth. These calves are often sold to be slaughtered as veal. Likewise situation for eggs. To produce hens farmers typically wait until the chicks hatch and throw the unwanted male chicks in a grinder.

This somehow makes me feel both old and young at the same time.

The reason for that actually makes sense. It’s rarely clear how and when someone contracted a prion disease at time of diagnosis, and often it is unclear which specific prion disease a person has. While it may seem that a father contracted a prion disease after you were born, it could also be that the father has an inheritable prion disease that you too may have inherited.

Eating brain/spinal cord is not required to contract a prion disease; prions can also be spread through any biological medium where protein material is located, for instance, blood. This is the reason why those who have CJD or other TSEs in their family are unable to donate blood.

This is also how vampires became extinct.

Don’t be silly; it’s obvious that there are different error messages for each gender expression. Error logs need to be detailed and specific in order to be useful.
