I get that you're trying to be uplifting and motivating and whatnot but executive distinction making it quite literally impossible to motivate myself to get up and take those first few steps is the problem here.
That's nice and you're very lucky. My PCP told me to schedule an appt with their drugs and mental health department (3 month minimum wait) and that he'd not renew the prescription I'd come to him with.
Then my next Dr was telehealth and kept warning me I needed to see her in person, but never had an appointment open.
Then my next Dr was 45 minutes late to every appointment.
Then my next Dr tried to get me to do IT troubleshooting on my end when he hadn't joined the fucking Zoom call.
Do I have every book for DND pirated as a PDF so that I can reference them, though? maybe
Do I have a digital backup of the Cyberpunk books? totally
Do I have an esoteric collection of random magic items and mobs I've seen as I browse over the last 15 years? oh fuck actually did I accidentally delete this folder I literally just realized as I typed this oh no
I understand that people enter the world of self hosting for various reasons. I am trying to dip my toes in this ocean to try and get away from privacy-offending centralised services such as Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc....
I've got a server I'm mass downloading anything I or my wife can think of and quite a few obscure movies and shows aren't on the major sites in any form that has enough seeders to actually finish
So, Usenet it is, at least until I'm mostly done.
If I was huntig for it all by hand I'd probably not bother but I'm using the Arr stack for automation so
Would you use Edge as your default browser on Windows 11 if Microsoft nags you with a 3D banner? Microsoft thinks you would. In a new experiment, which appears to be rolling out to Edge stable on Windows 11, Microsoft has turned on a banner that uses 3D graphics to promote the browser....
It's only normal if you're regularly doing iffy things like messing with drives or changing OS shit via terminal without thinking about what you're doing, Ubuntu is a pretty stable system
You should definitely be using TimeShift, it comes pre installed on Mint (which is a derivative of Ubuntu) so it should work or already be on your system
down voted by people who think any Kraft ceese is real cheese?
It is, you're just using the FDAs god-awful definition from over 100 years ago that only cheese made in the specific traditional way is "cheese"
Kraft singles are American cheese: typically a cheddar and Colby jack mix with 2 specific chemicals added to allow water to stay in the mixture better. Boil them together, spread thinly and let harden.
Kraft singles have more chemicals and a more complex process so they can get as thin as they do, but they're cheese by any normal person's definition.
Nah, super focus is totally a thing, just not everyone does it.
My wife can't sit in a computer chair for 8 hours straight playing a game/editing a video/writing something/reading Wikipedia really hard, but I can.
And no, I can't control it so it's not a superpower, it's random enforced focus and it's only sometimes a helpful thing. Usually the work I do when doing it gets worse much faster and it does major damage to your body to sit in 1 position for that long not peeing.
kinda feel like those individuals shouldn't be allowed to use computers to do their jobs. If you can't master just pass the basics, sorry. Here's a pencil and a pad of paper.
My wife had her HR rep get pissed at her just yesterday for sending an email to her boss and other higher-ups asking why assistant managers at her company can't use the computers theyre on all day properly. She had asked for a screenshot of something so she could see what the other person was seeing and they replied with "I can't do that idk how" and thought that was acceptable?
Luckily the other higher ups told HR to shut up and that she was only mad because it's her job to ensure basic computer literacy and she clearly didn't.
People 100% get into the mindset that "well, I already know the basics, so anything I don't know is advanced user shit so I can't learn it" and it's infuriating
Man, I'm so glad my ADHD kicks in the other way with this
The only time I let myself get over 3/4 tabs is when I'm searching for an answer in documentation or downloading game mods or similar, middle-click a whole shitton of pages then go through them, but always close them when I'm done with them because otherwise how will I find anything?
My bookmarks are organized, but also contain links to pages that died 10 years ago so maybe I should clean that
Took way too long for me to remember that they did more than make thermostats when reading your comment.
Like, I know they do, but I pass my Honeywell thermostat multiple times daily so my brain immediately got confused as to why an IT team needed to regularly buy thermostats to the point a salesman was involved.
Assuming that the world continues to exist in a way that lets me have a steam account at the time of my natural lifespans average end (another... 46 years):
My steam library grows at a slower rate than my mass storage has, and I'm quite confident that one will be able to fit my entire steam library as it currently is on a normal and affordable drive in at most 15 years.
With those two facts in play I can remain confident in my ability to crack everything I own (assuming I even want everything) and safely store it for at-will passing down to as many people as I want.
But thanks for the reminder to not blindly trust you, Valve. Always useful to have those.
Lol harder at the butthurt 3.5mm fetishists who downvote simple answers to their unbelievably petty and stupid criticisms.
Lol hardest at every dipshit who mentioned Bluetooth and didn't like when the adapters were pointed out as the basic solution to their whining.
"We don't want solutions we want to bitch"
simplicity the cable just works. no configuration. no pairing .un pairing, figuring why it worked yesterday
Use the adapter plug as mentioned. You can even just leave it on your normal headphones if you only use 1 pair!
whats the big deal. This is a bias for the plug users - would it hurt to keep it?
Hurts waterproofing, phone slimness and design, etc. again, you can just use an adapter to have all the stuff you're whining about back.
Investment - I have really good headphones. I have really good earbuds. Yes there are adapters but they are finicky exactly when you want them to just work
No, you're either talking out of your ass or buying the cheapest possible cord and being shocked when it doesn't work right. My $8 adapter has worked for 4 years no problem driving over-ear headphones no issues.
they purposefully gloss over the things they are taking away
Nothing was taken away. It's literally just combined with another port now.
If you want to be mad at anyone: be mad at the people making headphones with 3.5mm jacks rather than USB-C, as they're the ones using an outdated port.
Why would I give up my existing wired headphones to replace them with expensive sub-standard battery operated ones
You don't, you use an adapter and move on with life.
I seriously do not understand people who die on this hill. The 3.5 Jack is dead in electronics and the only people making the transition painful are the HEADPHONE manufacturers who refuse to wire a USB-C instead of a now-outded plug.
This happens every time an obsolete connector gets phased out: cheap manufacturers keep using it well beyond the reasonable time to swap out, leaving the end users who fear change to cling on even longer for no good reason
I love how anyone with half a fucking brain gets down voted.
Rather than point out where youre wrong thet just keep yelling about Bluetooth and downvotig once they realize they've run out of "gotchas"
Anyone fucking stupid enough to think the 3.5mm Jack is a good thing deserves the disappointment they feel every time a device doesn't have own, tbh, bring it on themselves
I have been, I don't respect people who want things to stay the way they were because they refuse to try new things.
People with very polite and normal responses were gettug downvoters just because they offered solutions that can't be dismissed easily, so downvoting was done instead.
It allllways comes to the civility argument when people know their position is dog shit, too. Cute.
I just can't help but notice when people are being terrible conversation partners, mostly
Funny that you called me the one not paying attention to other people's desires when all I did was point out that the people claiming there was literally no other option were wrong. I'd consider burying your head in the sand and pretending adapters don't exist as being a garbage conversation partner.
Are you 12?
No, but you must be if you think what I said is in any way contentious. People in this thread are being gigantic whiners about pointless shit and I have nothing but contempt for them after seeing the dogshit arguments for their side and personal attacks at me rather than actual points being made.
But with government I don't have a say. If I don't pay taxes I go to jail and if I don't like how my taxes are spent then too bad. There is no alternative.
It's called voting, really basic part of our world you seem to have forgotten about.
Well, you didn't explain why they're bad, that's probably why
As others pointed out it's incredibly nice for the times when you're not doing anything but are in your car, anyway. If the ability to play games is disabled while driving then is there actually an issue?
Seems like a great way to kill time while plugged into a charger to me, I already do it with my steam deck when I charge my car
And, by using that key as a confirmation-step, you get a whole bunch of extra functionality that you say you don't use
Yes, which is entirely useless to me and not something I want. Incredibly simple concept you're having trouble with.
Which, if you don't use it, will still give you the exact same functionality, and doesn't affect you.
Nope, you're really shit at reading comprehension. It does not function exactly the same, that's the problem.
Consider if you ever need to repeat the screen grab 10x times, the difference is:
I will not as I do not ever need to do that. Idk what weird world you live in where you'd ever need to take 10 screenshots of the same still screen but I can think of even easier ways to manage something like that then with a Printscreen manager.
I find it fascinating to care so strongly
You're the one typing out multi-paragraph replies to me simply stating that windows does this better and it's silly that Linux doesn't have something as simple as Snip. I don't really care at all as it's one keypress, it's just funny.
objectively a worse approach in every single way
Subjectively, you mean. I do not need or want hose extra features and it now takes time to tell my PC to not use those features. So no, it's a worse approach to me.
And to care so strongly about that one keypress, that the optional versatility that gives (toggle video recording, adjust rectangle, reuse rectangle, move rectangle with same dimensions) is all in all considered a worse alternative
You really have a hard time with other people valuing stuff differently then you, huh?
Those features are less than worthless to me. I do not ever need or want them. The fact that the software cannot handle that I don't is useless bloat, which Linux is usually all about removing.
To each their own, and UX design is arguably not yours.
Go fuck yourself you stuck up prick. Fucking Linux users I swear
I can't imagine why you wouldn't want something so it's stupid to not want it
Your lack of imagination doesn't mean you are correct. You have an opinion, learn to handle that it's not fact.
I pray you're not involved with anything UX related either as your attitude is the exact kind of dismissive garbage that's landed us in this world of horrid UI and UX
