I reckon this is probably what the issue is. Maybe it's of a device type where an icon wasn't created or where some reference to the icon's image is broken. Thank you.

Everything seems to be working fine and it mounts successfully. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks for responding, but no, I have 3 devices plugged in at the moment and the icons don't change regardless of which one I have selected. This is the only one with an 'x' icon. It doesn't appear to prevent me from using it, but I'm unsure if it's indicative of an issue with the device itself. Maybe it just means it isn't a recognised device. Kind of wish Nemo had tooltips or something.

Hi.

Does anyone know why is there a red cross on the icon here?

This device is a Corsair USB flash drive. I initially thought it may be because the data was corrupted as there were a couple of years where it remained unconnected and I know SSD does not like that. But I formatted the drive (ExFAT) and it still shows up with a red cross in Nemo file manager.

Any idea what this actually means?

Thanks for any insight.

I used to read Australian news every day. Now I just don't bother. This government just wastes their time on complete and utter nonsense like this while we're in the middle of a housing crisis that they're doing their absolute best to exacerbate.

I feel like I became dumber just reading this article.

In honesty (my last comment was clearly not legit), you likely do pronounce the 'L'; most accents will include this in my experience.

Does the tip of your tongue touch the roof of your mouth just on or behind the ridge before your front teeth? If you release your tongue before pronouncing the 'D' is there a release of air? If you do position your tongue here and there is no release of air before pronouncing the 'D' (which does release air), then you are pronouncing the 'L'.

Don't feel intimidated if you have any curiosity about learning the language. From an outside perspective, all languages are immensely complicated. In fairness, even native Chinese speakers wouldn't be able to comprehend the poem above when spoken aloud. It's designed specifically to mess with people and make them think about language. I love poems like this but there's an argument that they are disingenuous and exaggerate the difficulty of learning a language.

You clearly know English, so as a counterexample to show what you are capable of, take a minute to check out The Chaos by Gerard Nolst Trenité.

I wonder how many of these were people who voted for Trump in 2016 and now feel shame/embarrassment after seeing the entailing colossal clusterfuck they were partially responsible for.

Crunchyroll's (then Funimation) acquisition of Animelab is what led me to stop paying to stream anime.

Lower quality videos. Harder to navigate. Distracting watermarks on the side of the screen. Blocking VPNs. Ads even though you already pay them.

I hate that there is so little effort put into preventing monopolies from buying out the competition

It's pronounced 'moeoueieueld'. You really need to emphasise the 'a' sound to get it right.

There are many homonyms in Chinese languages, though the poem above cheats a little because many aren't genuinely homonyms due to the different tones, also, many of the characters used aren't modern characters that are used in every day speech.

'Shi' isn't in Mandarin only. There is significant overlap with other Chinese languages, so there are going to be many words with the same sounds, some of the words in the poem above will sounds identical in Cantonese for instance.

'Shi' is also used extensively in Japanese (sometimes even overlapping with Chinese). In addition to being used 'numerically', it can be used to emphasize a point, to connect two words, and can be used for several completely different words e.g. death, poem, city.
