  • It’s not a permanent one and it works for the time being, can’t see the reason for the downvotes honestly.

    It’s just a bad idea in general. A better option would be to patch the binary to use 15. They both have the issue of forcing paru to work with a library it wasn’t explicitly designed for, but symlinking (or copying) 15 to 14 forces the hack to be “system wide” instead of restricted to a single binary

    as well, your solution is “temporary” only if you remember to fix it, vs patching which is (by default) overwritten the next time paru is updated

    it “works”, but it’s not something i’d recommend someone else do
















  • you’re just completely fucked because they (generally) follow the Mark Twain model of pay per word so once a story gets popular that shit absolutely gets milked into the ground.

    This is a legit problem for web novels and wuxia (which get written and released chapter by chapter).

    Lot’s of random plot arcs that go nowhere, and a lot of recycled story structure.

    I stopped reading Tales of Demons and Gods halfway through, because the main character gains the ability to pause time and “power up” whenever he wants. I was already quite tired of it, but that was the “fuck this book” moment

    I shall seal the heavens and The Desolate Era are some of my favorites (although TDE has some severe plot meandering syndrome)



  • It might be your phone getting a notification, and sending that to the BT speaker, which then takes precedent over the laptop

    I usually just disable BT on my phone when stuff like that happens (on android, you can change the playback device without disconnecting, and that should also prevent the phone from stealing your headphones)
