https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385447 --- Comment #11 from Lee the Geek --- I never get bug information after I've entered a bug. Your system sucks. The bug is most likely still there along with the other hundred bugs I've reported.

[palapeli] [Bug 432909] Moving pieces generates hard drive activity
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432909 --- Comment #8 from Lee the Geek --- What I have exhibiting this symptom is one computer with 4 different Linux installation bootups. Two are on an HDD being Linux Mint 19.3, and the other two are on an SSD being another 19.3 and a 20.1 Mint. I have an older laptop with 19.3 and sometimes pieces on it won't move at all for up to two seconds with only 150 pieces so I don't play it on that one at all. I have completely done away with Winduhs, unless I install XP or 7 as a virtual machine. (There are only two old Winduhs programs I still like to use and one will work under WINE.) I leave files installed where Linux installs them except that I change the locations of the personal folders for Documents, Pictures, Downloads, Music, Videos, etc. The issue of which I speak, read/write drive cycles, ONLY occurs when I am MOVING pieces. For some reason, the software is ultimately buffering the location of each individual piece on the drive where it should be using RAM. PS. I have been playing at 200 pieces for awhile, and I do know, after many years of computers, how it feels to lose tons of work because I have put off backups. At any rate, I cannot imagine saving a game more often than about 2 minutes or so. At any rate, I am familiar enough with tweaking this and that from my days of hacking/tweaking back in the days of DOS and now back into Linux that if I only need to change a number or two in a .sh or a .conf file, I can do that! If you told me in a DOS .com or .exe what byte, word, doubleword to change, I could also do that and have done so even to the point of tweaking to match a checksum or two. I regularly tweak a few items in Linux with each new installation and one of the items I add is the graphical dconf editor. PS., In many instances, I actually prefer the CLI for tweaking since that is where I started computing. I have written my own script using sudo apt-get to install the 25 or so extra programs I always prefer. All I need is a pointer for where to look and what to change. Maybe?

[palapeli] [Bug 432909] Moving pieces generates hard drive activity
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432909 --- Comment #6 from Lee the Geek --- 1. My boot drive is an SSD, and the effect is the same. I can't understand your computer not having a light for the drive, hard or soft. Even my laptop and netbook have drive lights. SSDs also have failures which are almost entirely based upon read/write cycles. 2. I am experienced enough with hardware to know that there are only so many acts on any piece of hardware before it breaks. It's man-made, so it WILL break! The only question is when and why. 3. I mentioned money because I believe in giving back to my community which is primarily made up of geeks and supergeeks. I have been doing so for years! 4. I am actually 68 years old which means I *was* programming when Albert was barely out of high school! 5. In fact, I was repairing computer hardware in 1971! AN/APX-72 Transponders. 6. In order to rewrite the software, I'd have to learn a completely new language, since my programming days were with Zilog Z80 and TMS9900 assembly code augmented with BASIC on both of those plus Extended BASIC on the TI. I took an introductory course in 'Advanced Microprocessors' which dealt with ASSM on the 80186 as a HeathZenith trainer, but after the course, I barely used it. On the TI, I disassembled every line of the first half (4K) of the OS by hand into a spiral bound notebook and made comments on nearly every line. 7. I have tried numerous times to learn C, C+, C++, and/or C#, but it just doesn't excite me any more. I've even spent some time learning the Arduino and RasPi systems, but what I have managed so far is a sampling of Linux BASH. 8. I have even written MS Word BASIC macros, but with the volatility of Microshaft, they broke and required repairs every time I upgraded Winduhs or MS Word, so I gave up on that, too. 9. My regular daytime jobs almost always involved repairs to electronics hardware and I took a position repairing computers of all sorts in 1991 including Commodores, Ataris, TIs, and Apples on which I repaired everything hardware or soft. 10. I am not current in disassemble/rewrite/reassemble, but I am experienced. 11. If you know already where the tweak is, why didn't you fix it instead of offering excuses and ignoring serious hardware destruction? RAM sticks are far less expensive than hard or soft drives! 12. Having said all of that, I could fix it, but it would take me months and I can't justify the time.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432909 --- Comment #4 from Lee the Geek --- No, I don't think you care if I play your game, but I'll bet you miss the money I would have sent you! I did programming back probably before you were born and I am very critical of half-ass programmers. I would have never turned out shit like that. Have a nice life!

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432909 --- Comment #2 from Lee the Geek --- Two seconds? Why? Do you think saving every two seconds is good? FOR A GAME? Or even thirty seconds? If it stays at two seconds, I will be ejecting it, and I'll find a different game. DON'T waste my HDD to save progress every two seconds or even every minute!!

[amarok] [Bug 385447] Play time is displayed improperly.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385447 --- Comment #7 from Lee the Geek <leewilkerso...@gmail.com> --- Now we're on the same page. What I was attempting to do was to indicate the reason for the error: When adding times, .30 minutes and :30 minutes are very different. The first is 3 tenths of a minute; the second is 5 tenths of a minute or 30/60. I believe that is the source of your error because when I added the numbers erroneously, I got the same results as Amarok.
