Yeah, I noticed that too, but I have fewer docker volumes, so it didn't bother me as much. As far as I can see, you can only disable the "drive buttons" completely under Configuration/Options/Layout/Show drive

I used Krusader for years, then (after installing Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu) I discovered Double Commander ( https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd ), which is also free software, but more cross-platform (and developed u

Ah, yes, and I also remember what a relief it was when the newer generation of games (starting with Doom IIRC) used "DOS extenders" to switch the CPU into protected mode and be able to use 16 MB or more without any fiddling... Ano

"It is now safe to turn off your computer" was a kludge for running Windows 95 on PCs with a physical on/off switch (as opposed to newer ATX power supplies, which have a pushbutton to turn them on and can be switched off via

Yup... if you're familiar with the old class-based approach, the new style raises more questions than it answers. Did they really turn "everything-is-an-object"-Java into a procedural language? What do you do if you do need

I think that was a relay back then ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/First_Co... ). Also, if the climate inside your mainframe is so humid that it attracts slugs, you have bigger proble

Yeah, a relentlessly advancing deadly wall of fire becomes much less scary without the "relentless" part... Another way of decreasing the difficulty is to enlarge the "playfield". I actually did that by chance, because m

Sure... and, to prove your point, Go has a package manager too (although it's a relatively new addition). But Go still follows a "batteries included" approach, where "standard" stuff (yes, even database handling) is

I don't agree with >99% of what Trump does, but closing this loophole that allowed Chinese companies to flood Western markets with cheap (and partly dangerous) junk is one of the exceptions - and also one of the few things where he

The difference is that (almost) everyone has a printer, and a printer is only any good if it reproduces the image it prints exactly - and where's the fun in that? With plotters, you can do all the cool things described in the article
