What really throws me are their poses. They’re all in poses that you typically see them in from public sources. Elon smoking a cigar was probably part of the prompt, unless I’m unaware of something. Tim Apple even doing the classic stage pose.

You just maintain. Are you new to the gooning scene or something? Shower is like your rest time.

One of the tasks I find myself wanting to do all the time is clip my own gifs without having to use a whole dedicated app or busting out a video editor. I know it’s a lot more complex, but a system for doing basic video clipping would be amazing. I could be way off base, but I would think since you’re already using ffmpeg, maybe this isn’t too far of a stretch, but I understand if this is way beyond scope.

It’s totally doable. I’m down to 0 Windows computers and my main gaming rig can play almost anything I throw at it bar the obvious caveats of anti-cheat and such.

I won’t lie and say it’s perfect. I definitely get more performance inconsistency on Linux, even though it’s overall faster compared to Windows. And I’ve had the odd game here and there that just didn’t agree with Proton, but those I just returned and played something else instead

This assumes there’s a user accessible option to disable it.

I don’t really follow any holiday traditions anymore. My friends don’t get me stuff and I don’t get them stuff.

I even stay home for Thanksgiving and don’t go to watch fireworks on the 4th.

It’s not that I don’t get out, but more so that I avoid the calamity everyone else is in on those days. To me, it’s a day off work and some time to catch up on chores or projects.

But that’s more tha- Oh.

Didn’t work for me. I don’t have any pictures of mountains, though.

Oh that sounds like a fun mental challenge. Here it is for quick reference:

Edit: after coming back to this a few days in a row, success! I can now trick my mind into spinning either way, including bouncing back and forth in a half spin. The human mind prevails!

Last one could be “look at photograph”

It’s been a long while since I used it and at one point I did figure out how to browse it, but I remember documentation pointing out that it’s meant to be left alone and do all your file management through NextCloud itself.

Sometimes I needed to do big file operations or drop in a chunk of data straight from the server, but it wouldn’t ingest those files unless I did a sync or upload them using the client.

Maybe things have changed, but last I used it, it was 14 services that were all sort of good when I needed the service to do one thing really well.

I constantly would get files stuck in the database that I couldn’t delete. All of the forum posts would talk about going into the database to fix it, but the whole point of NextCloud for me was to completely avoid database management.

I’ve fallen back to using DUFS or copyparty for most things since I really just needed my file store to be browsable via web in some cases.

I probably would still be using NextCloud if they didn’t obfuscate the file system.

You should dress up KDE to look like Windows 11 just to prove a point.

I find a big part of trying to be the friend that transitions others to Linux is taking on the role of mentor. It’s something a lot of wish we could just hand to someone and dust off our hands, but that ultimately leads to experiences like yours.

For a better chance of success, especially on first install, be on the line with them as they go through the steps, or in person is better yet.

Answer all the questions you can and help them install all their usual stuff. Most people don’t want to have to go through this change, so making it fun and social goes a long way.

I’m more thinking about government. I gave up on trying to avoid ad tracking forever ago. But if you think a VPN keeps you safe posting “anonymously”, it doesn’t. That’s more what I’m referring to.

The only real advantage you gain is being able to watch things outside your region. Without lots of work, you’re pretty easily traceable on the modern internet.

It is impossible to wake up until you are fully rested, including by alarm, fire, or intruder.

Blaming DNS is sort of like blaming phone numbers for calls failing to route. The reason it fails so often is because it’s almost exclusively a human-made lookup table.
