Back when SSDs were expensive and tiny they used to sell hybrid drives which were a normal sized HDD with a few gigs of SSD cache built in. Very similar to your proposal. When I upgraded from a HDD to a hybrid it was like getting a new computer, almost as good as a real SSD would have been.
I say go for it.
If it's all Steam games then you could just move games around as needed, no need for a fancy automatic solution.
What you're seeing is the result of decades of new ways to install stuff being added at different times. As a new way is added all the old ways still need to work because getting everyone to switch to the new way is impossible. There is no central authority making these decisions, it's more of a marketplace of ideas with different 'sellers' competing for attention.
I use PyCharm for work but it's not FOSS or beginner-friendly. PyCharm does have a free community edition which is awesome if you're mostly into FOSS for the $0 aspect.
Codium is fine and technically FOSS although it's association with Microsoft taints it for anyone who still hates MS from the bad old days. Also it's an Electron app.
New PieFed instances download a list of communities from an instance of your choice OR https://lemmyverse.net/ and automatically subscribe the admin to communities that match certain criteria (recently active, reasonable number of subscribers, etc).
PieFed doesn't host video files so you'd need to put them on S3 or wherever (imgur is fine if the video is small/short enough like in this video https://piefed.social/post/366849) and then create a post with the url to S3 as the post url.
You're comparing downvotes with "vile conspiracy hate fascist bullshit". The behavior I'm talking about isn't hurtful in the social-rejection way that downvotes are, it goes way way beyond that. Can you see the difference?
Normally I'd say it was a weakness but the right has significantly departed from reality in most countries for way too long now. It's incredibly rare to find a right-winger who can be present in a discussion without spewing a whole lot of vile conspiracy hate fascist bullshit.
So I find their absence refreshing, desirable and a strength of Lemmy.
I wonder if this will make the racing industry donate more to his next election campaign (i.e. the Greyhound folks didn't donate enough so he threw them under the bus to send a message to the rest), or less.
Maybe he intends to retire anyway so doesn't need their support anymore.
Ideologies tend to sort people into a limited number of overly simplistic categories. This makes theorising easier but applying it to reality much harder.
Very few people could live in a capitalist system and remain pure. e.g. My pension fund is invested in the stock market so I very partially own thousands of companies. I've also purchased a small amount of shares in selected companies, a situation I had more agency in creating. Sometimes I subcontract work to other contractors who function as my temporary employees. And so on.
A 4runner has a 4 liter engine, surely it can tow that tiny RV. Wtf.
It might be worth asking the dealer why the capacity is only 880 lbs. Maybe there is a simple upgrade that can be made to increase that because fundamentally a vehicle with an engine that size should be able to tow medium-sized boats, etc.
