I've been using PrimoFlex LRT for years and it's great. Unfortunately they discontinued the 3/8 ID 5/8 OD in the UV Blue color. I'm so bummed about it but I'm also not going to replace all my fittings for a different size that they make the UV blue version in.

$40 for 10 ft is kind of steep for something that's going to be not in the color I wanted. I can get 100ft of several different types of that stuff at Lowes for $40 and still the 5/8 OD thickness. They make it in PVC, reinforced PVC with nylon braid and Polyethylene. I'm not sure what the PrimoFlex tubing I've been using is made of but it feels like PVC. Maybe it's not though. I care a lot about longevity and don't want to put something in my loop that might cause corrosion or gunk buildup. So what do you guys think?

Tl;dr will putting hardware store PVC tubing in my build cause long term problems?

 
 

All desktop managers have pros and cons. Cinnamon's biggest issue for me is the "save as" window. To get to it, go somewhere such as a web browser, right click on something and do "save as". Now try to name that file anything other than what was already in the filename textbox. It won't let you. You click on the box to position your cursor, type 1 character and it immediately forces your context focus into the search bar for searching for files in the directory. Clicking the box again, type 1 character and it forces your context focus and cursor into the stupid useless fucking search bar again. I can only rename files by bringing up a text editor, typing what I want and then pasting it into the save as name box.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Android 12 fucking sucks. There's this new "feature" where you can no longer go into app defaults and manually define what urls can be opened by which apps. There are "verified links" now which means nothing other than your browser gets to open shit.

When someone posts a link to a lemmy url, that means I can never open it in jeroba. It always opens in my web browser. This significantly reduces the overall usability of the app.

Is there any way around this? I'm one of the lucky few to have an unlocked bootloader phone so maybe I can get an older rom but I wish there was another way.
