Or just not buy so many ugly ass SUVs/crossovers/minivans/god the list goes on.

At some point, acting like a social sciences major and calling everyone right-winger will make the right-wing cult look waaayyyyy more palatable to people than yours.

I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but wake me up when we’ve got replicators and holodecks. They’re as enticing now as they were decades ago.

Ahh yes, very interesting.

Nick is probably my favorite Linux YouTuber. He seems to be the only one to understand that Linux has to look and feel sexy for new people to stay on board.

It’s not me, it’s society man !!

Internet leftist gets spooked when they see comments that don’t perfectly subscribe to their cult. Their brains don’t know what to do but call them right-wingers and Nazis. This really is reddit.

Yup, this will definitely turn into reddit when enough users arrive.

It’s so sad how conservatives say the exact same thing, verbatim, about the left. The cults are eternally talking past each other.

I personally liked Plex a lot better than Jellyfin, even though it’s open-source. They worked about the same and Plex’s layout is a lot more pleasing to me and my family/friends.

After a year of local music, I don’t see the need to stream at all. I have more than enough space on my phone and no worries when driving through places with bad Internet. Plus I don’t miss anything when I enable Airplane Mode.

It’s barely recognizable if you look at it as BSD. People like to say that ChromeOS is not “acktually” Linux, but MacOS is waaayyyyy further from BSD than ChromeOS is to Linux.

I hope you enjoy what you’re learning, because there’s a reason everyone tells you to do what you love. It can be an enormous source of fulfilment or a nightly headache.

A few years ago working at a convenience store right out of school, I used to park 15 minutes early just to sit and sulk about having to go in for 1st shift. I went through a period that kinda sounds like yours. All I wanted was to go back to college and stay there. I really enjoyed the learning, spending time with my peers, and the drugs.

Now, 5 years later, I might get a few hours per day where I’m not working on something and I couldn’t be happier. Right now you’re probably working a college gig. It’s probably not entirely fulfilling work. For now, just keep going and keep an eye out on new skills that you can learn. I’ve learned things from the dregs that has applied to every

You get new hobbies and pleasures as you go too. Long-term projects become more sexy. Things you can drop in on and leave whenever. I think that’s why “the dad with the train set in the basement” is such a trope.

Do you have a pet? I couldn’t live properly without a cat around.

The Home Depot thing is real. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite places to go. Maybe head over there sometime, think of all the stuff you can build, and learn something new while building it. We have YouTube, we better take advantage of it.

The responsibility kinda becomes a point of pride. Idk if pride is the word for it. It certainly makes you stand up straighter, with more self-respect.

It kinda felt like you were gonna break into song about the Year of the BSD Desktop for a second there!

It’s the same with work tbh… Lots of companies have big contracts with Red Hat but the only option for their employees is Windows.

I understand the logic behind it, but it still feels dumb.

I’ve tried it, not my cup of tea. Rhythmbox conforms to my GTK4 theme a lot better, and the layout is so much more suited for me.

I feel that Strawberry’s layout is ugly as sin, but hey, everyone seems to think Rhythmbox is ugly so maybe that’s just me.

I admire any active music library management app tho. Seems like there aren’t that many people with local music libraries anymore, so we don’t get many new apps like Strawberry or Rhythmbox where MTP transfers, tag editing, lyrics, etc are big focuses. So cheers to the devs of Strawberry and thanks for the recommendation!

My dream is for Rhythmbox to be ported to libadwaita, but that doesn’t seem to be in the cards. All the latest GTK4 music players are extremely simple, with no library management features whatsoever. Think Amberol, GNOME Music, and G4Music. I wish I had learned some C when I was young and had the time so I could just port it myself.

I don’t. I compress the FLACs on my PC (into OGGs) and sync my desktop library with my phone. I have like 5k songs and they take up like 40gigs of space.

I used to use Plex to stream to my phone, but there were too many issues.

About a year ago I switched from Spotify to a local library with the Symfonium music player on my phone and Rhythmbox on the PC. I have not once looked back.

Plus, you get the satisfaction of growing a collection that can last forever.

I highly recommend it !

Hold on hold on, there aren’t any warranties on merch? Isn’t he the guy that tells everyone to look at the warranty length before you buy something?

It’s like watching a stream of a high schooler that just finished the manifesto

Fedora or Arch, considering it’s on the Steam Deck.
