I've been using noscript for years.

Yeah, it took me about that long to get my regular websites working right too. And then i had to reinstall for unrelated reasons and all that customisation was gone.

@DaGeek247@fedia.io avatar

I usually go slightly faster or slower than most everyone else. It ensures i dont do my entire drive stuck in one of the packs that everyone seems to get caught up in. I'd much rather have half a mile of space between me and the next car than go the same speed as everybody else.

This doesn't work in cities, or other states, but i spend my longest drive times going between cities in texas anyways.

Assuming you're based in the US.

Anything on usajobs.gov that you can message your resume into matching will do a good job of having good benefits, relatively low stress, and average pay.

Don't use the builder on the website; it breaks and makes your resume illegible sometimes. Do look into what a federal resume has to look like in order to work.

So you're saying that using a desktop shortcut makes an app inherently less buggy? wtf

Obviously not. Now i'm wondering if you're fucking with me. Running a program through the console lets you see the debug log it spits out when it fails to run.

So in your mind I'm going to google a list of 10 random weird issues?

No, but I was hoping you'd put in a little more effort before jumping straight to conclusions.

That was a choice, an easily fixed one, and everyone's definition of "basic apps" will vary a bit so this was a stretch to list as a "problem".

Can't say i disagree, but i'm not in the habit of invalidating other people's gripes because i think theyre kinda petty either.

Well firstly, I tend to have a lot more weird issues than others. Secondly, I've tried a few different distros on two different graphics cards. And thirdly, I've been dealing with hardware and software issues for 25 years so when someone comes in hot like that with a bunch of rare issues/non-issues/issues I've never heard of, I tend to think that at best they are exaggerating because they are mad about something. And no, I don't assume everyone has the same experience.

I've got less experience than that, having started 15 years ago instead of 25. Clearly that makes your opinion inherently better than mine. /s

This list of problems was a direct answer to someone asking for a list of problems. Sometimes, people just need to vent about their favorite thing. No need to get onto them for it.

Launching a program from cli is a basic first troubleshooting step, davinci resolve being such a big program means a bug will happen at some point.

Fat being a bitch to deal with is old news.

Flatpack password prompt problem was easily verified with google. So was popos missing a paint application by default. Same with rocky 9 kernal paremeters being changed in grub.

Ignoring the part of this where the context makes no sense for a satire post, why would you assume your experience, being a positive one, would be the same as everyone else?

I don't see why it would be. These problems seem pretty ordinary to me.

Gpu encoding is terrible for anything that isnt fast encoding speeds. Best to use the cpu since this isnt for a live environment.

Skipping the audio encode from a blu-ray will lose op out on a surprisingly large amount of space, especially with 110 source disks. I checked one of my two hour blu-ray backups. Audio will net you about nine audio tracks (english, french, etc). A single 5.1 448kbs audio track will take about 380MB of space per movie. Multiply that by nine (the number of different tracks in my sample choice) and you'll get 3420MB per disk. That means about 376GB of space is used on audio alone for ops collection. A third of a terabyte. You can save a lot of space by cutting out the languages you don't need, and also by compressing that source audio to ogg or similar.

By running the following ffmpeg command;
ffmpeg -i out-audio.ac3 -codec:a libvorbis -qscale:a 3 small-audio.ogv
I got my 382MB source audio track down to 200MB. Combine that with only keeping the language you need, and you end up dropping from 376GB down to 22GB total.

You can likely save even more space by skimping on subtitles. They're stored as images, so they take up a chunk of space too.
