Having a hard time with Calibre (and my HDD)
I’ve recently switched to Linux (Tumbleweed) and the other day i was setting up Calibre. I already have a library on my HDD so i proceeded to simply import the existing one. No problems at all, i’ve even added a couple ebooks. Turned off the pc and went to sleep. The next day i wanted to read a book, opened up Calibre and an error appeared: filesystem on my HDD is read only. What?? Since when? No idea what happened. Any suggestions?

Glad to see Valve promoting KDE Plasma (the DE that SteamOS uses) in their most recent Steam sale art!
If you zoom in you can clearly see the Steam delivery girl using Windows 11 theme for KDE Plasma. It is so awesome that Valve artists pay attention even to the smallest details!

genuine question, do people like the windows 11 UI? I know you can make it more win10 like but by default I think it looks ugly
in reply to LisaTrevor [she/her, they/them]
I've installed W11 for gf and I sorta see the appeal but they clearly had no idea what to do with the whitespace in the bottom left caused by moving the start button and instead filled it with a nonsense button that'll inevitably get clicked billions of times by people expecting it to be the start button.
in reply to LisaTrevor [she/her, they/them]
I can see why they moved all the buttons to the center (on widescreens, it's pretty silly to have to move the mouse pointer all the way), but the proper solution for that would have been a dock. And yeah, you can clearly see that they didn't want to go that far or they didn't realize that they wanted a dock, so you get this awkward in-between solution.

Yep, that was actually an improvement. The "right click" menu change is still doing my nut in though. It was change for the sake of change

Congressional leadership on Wednesday unveiled legislation to punt the government funding deadline down the road, but that bill was pronounced dead only hours after it was revealed.

This is pretty plausible, barring the conspiracy theories about Trump trying to manipulate media outlets and whatnot. As a Trump voter myself I have always had a HUGE issue with how both Trump and Vance postured about Trump caring about government spending and the national debt despite the fact that he ballooned both the debt and the deficit.

NodeBB has moved its ActivityPub integration to the testing phase. Or so I would assume. Up until now it was being developed in a special ActivityPub branch and it's just been moved into the develop branch.

If you used Windows before, the Windows hibernate and fast boot functions can basically "reserve" the partition, causing it to only be writeable as read only. If you have windows still installed, is it possible that it booted into Windows to do an update or you've booted into it since? If so, I'd recommend disabling fast boot in Windows.
If there's no Windows still installed on your system, I would reccomend changing the mount options on the hdd to:
nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,rw,exec. You can change these directly by editing/etc/fstab, but I would recommend against editing the fstab table manually -- if you edit the wrong entry, it can prevent your system from booting. I've not had good luck with the KDE partition manager, but if you install gparted and right click on the partition it should give you options to change the mount options, and you can add the options above there.FYI, mount options are read left to right by the system, so if y
