I love the Netherlands. Lots of greenery, lots of quiet places.

Ya but reversing the pitch takes effort that most people won’t go to.

Kdenlive. I used Adobe Premiere professionally and Kdenlive completely replaced it for me.

It’s a journey

Sugar free haribo edibles. Just imagine.

I can tell you right now that something like a username and password is exceptionally difficult for most users. Many just have one password for every single application and if they need to use a different email or password, they will be stuck.

The vast overwhelming majority of users do not have password managers, do not know they exist, and will give up at the first sign of complexity. You’re too far into the weeds if you don’t conceptualize this.

The overall vast majority of everyone is completely tech illiterate. We can blame them for their lack of tech skills all we want but that won’t change anything. Jellyfin needs a better UX before it’s feasible to use over Plex when sharing libraries with other users.

I heard “don’t argue with a pigeon, they will shit all over the place and play chess” and those words cut deep.

Thank you for this. It’s beautiful.

Highly specialized people live in bubbles and assume that everyone else lives in their same bubble and so if someone else doesn’t understand, they aren’t worth communicating with.

In my experience, all the Linux documentation I have read has been written for peers of Linux developers, who are familiar with technical terminology and several concepts and steps are left out and implied rather than explained.

It’s a way for developers to ensure that Linux never receives adoption past other developers. Literary equivalent of pulling the ladder up.

Reign of Kings, a medieval online PvE survival game had a bug where the 360 rotation camera could be used in 3rd person mode to look inside of walls of other players. You could even access their chests if they built them against the wall (which they all did).

This meant that you could loot everyone’s bases without even breaking in. The game went through several major updates with this bug still in place. My brother and I used it extensively.

One day there is a major update and the release notes mention about how they have now finally fixed the “glitch where players items disappear from chests when placed near walls”.

Real G’s move in silence like lasagna.

So from this thread it looks like I need to disable this font. I’m not able to as it gives me errors :/

I’m going to restart and see if I still get these errors.

Edit: still have the errors. Nuking this install because I’ve exhausted all troubleshooting. Moved all files to new user and redownloaded and configured my apps. Gives me an excuse to start fresh because the home folder was getting cluttered.

When I run fc-match sans I get NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"

and when i run fc-match serif I get NotoSerif-Regular.ttf: "Noto Serif" "Regular"

All things seem normal :/

Edit: I made a new user account and the fonts are all fixed on that one. Wondering if I should just move everything to my new account -_-

I’ve never had a problem with any media playback. I don’t think this is an issue on Bazzite, the immutable distro I’ve been using for over a year.

I think you overestimate the average persons need to configure their computers. Most people just use a web browser, email, and maybe some light gaming. No one new to Linux is going to be really upset that they can’t do complex system operations on the command line.

Get an immutable distro. You’ll never need to touch it again.

I had a dream I was within the blast radius of a nuclear bomb. My skin vaporized and it felt very cold for a very split second then it felt like all of my body just split apart and went everywhere all at once. Too quick to hurt.

I became sand and my awareness was everywhere in a pile. I had no bodily awareness and nothing felt like anything. I just felt an odd sense of calm and coziness. Time went on maybe but sand just shifted and moved. Peaceful and weird.

I woke up feeling weirded out.

Absolutely. Left America 15 years ago. The culture is glorified narcissism. The culture believes the earth is infinite. The culture believes they are the best in the world. The culture believes any criticism is self hatred and must be removed.
