ACDSee old versions (2.6.1?) would preload the next image in memory while scrolling through a folder, making it extremely useful in the age of hard drives. It became bloated, but the only reasons to switch were for newer image formats, and sometimes .gifs would crash it.

FastStone Image Viewer is the performant, slick image viewer I use now.

IrfanView has some rough defaults like if you scroll to the end of a folder, a window pops up that you have to click away before you can scroll back. I use it all the time for simple editing, not viewing.

FreeFileSync

It's what you'd like if your idea of simplicity is dragging and dropping one folder to another, but want to more closely see what files have changed before the copy.

That's the final blow for me. The last use case was when esoteric discussion there would be one of the few search engine results.

I've already long ago edited out all my old posts and deleted the accounts. So sad to see sites grow to become gated advertiser-friendly communities.

Wireless mice are faster than wired mice*

*At least, LTT put out a video as such some years ago. Regardless, if you like wireless, BT is a bottom of the barrel solution.

I don't use kagi. On WA, this search results in the answer with a prompt with the engine's assumptions, and includes a link to change the assumption to "math" from "word."

These prompts don't show on kagi? Seems like including them would be an avenue for improvement.

>they're using "angstroms" I kinda hoped once they hit 1 "nanometer" they'd stop using these fake units of length.

Depressive hole here. Seeing the concept of finding my first job in tech as near hopeless for someone like me, who has weak network/hustling skills. Going to events I've met other unemployed people, many friends/acquaintances are unemployed or laid off, and differentiating myself from any of them is a social challenge I've never prepared for. It feels worse when it's apparent that to do so, I need relevant work experience and what relevant education I have is not what counts.

When I consider the advice to seek an "adjacent" position and then move to the role I want internally, it feels like I'm in an even worse position because to work tech support, any customer-facing experience is preferable, meaning anyone who's worked retail has yet another leg up on me.

Well, you asked. I'd rather not try to give advice even if I have any.

If by "monetizing the destruction of civil society" you mean making money from posting celebrity nudes on the internet maybe you'll be glad to learn the people doing it are doing it for free.
