I have tried to go back to Mastodon, but I have not found an instance that makes me care enough.

Nice. It is comforting that the people running the platform are conscientious and have made a guide so the transition is as smooth as possible.

You are special and I love you.

You were not exaggerating, Linux Mint is MAGIC!. Everything about this distro is so clean and well put together. Cinnamon is everything I wanted out of XFCE.

I cannot believe I slept on this because I dismissed anything associated with Ubuntu. I have been so stupid. I have wasted so much time, and haven’t even really gamed on my new computer.

I finally feel like I can commit to learning Blender and get back to Godot.

Thank you.

You know what, I will look at it again. I seem to have a problems every time I move away from Debian, and I have been rocking MX Linux for awhile, and as great as it is, it cannot support everything that has moved on to SystemD. Also, as comfortable as I am with XFCE, I don’t really like it… BUT I hate KDE so anything else is better.

Yeah, if I can’t work out my problems with openSuse, I probably won’t have better luck with Fedora. So, back to Debian!

That sounds cool. I have not had time to mess with my server… I decided to distro hope. openSuse is promising and I like it, but installing Nvidia drivers is kicking my ass for some reason and there seems to be an issue of not being able to wake up after sleep, so I am going to try very hard to fix those before I give up and distrohop again.

Anyways, I actually did follow the folder guides for youtube videos the same as shows. It really helps the metadata programs find the info, it seems.

I think it also depends on the channel. Like VSauce and The Repair Shop has everything filled out, but smaller niche channels like Vagrant Holiday do nothing.

Hell yes!! I have been using Freetube to watch Youtube without using a browser, and it is awesome. I have started using yt-dlp to pull videos I want to watch on my TV, such as The Repair Shop when they put out full episodes.

But, I have been doing it manually, and serving it using Jellyfin, which does not organize channels well.

This is so much better!

Clean and utilitarian. I hope it stays this way.

It is just the catalyst we need to transcend the status quo and normalize technology that respects its users.

That is the most Onion headline I ever seen for real news. Kotaku? Yeah, the clickbait makes sense.

Good perspective. Everyone is happy in an echochamber, but nobody really grows without some kind of adversity, and even inane differences in opinion can be healthy.

But, people tend to focuse too much on differences. The world is enormous, people should be excited to learn something new, not threatened by it.

That is it. Thank you for the citation.

For sure. I do not know anyone to whom I could mention Lemmy or then Fediverse and expect them to make an account with no issues.

Hell, I still do not fully understand how to work this thing.

Ah, I should be more considerate. It certainly takes a lot of tact to be able to compose sarcastic text with clear intentions without blatantly marking it.

They are worthless. Let your past life go.

When people see “alternative to” they absolutely expect the exact same experience, just in a different skin.

Only people comfortable with problem solving computers and no streamlined on-boarding will not get turned off.

There it is. Some people are incapable of reading into context, and take everything so seriously.

Anyways, fuck that noise. I do not need social media to be some stupid zero sum game where I try to win by racking up points that do not matter because there is no prize.

Power tripping in a niche on some corporate owned social media website will never be impressive.

Yeah, there seems to be a collective immaturity that keeps people from having constructive conversations. They are so reactive, and seem incapable of handling disagreement.

Also, people think there is some moral superiority to being unhappy. They see or experience all the bad things that comes with existing, and that joy is only for the dainty privileged too ignorant or stupid to be horrified by reality.

Nothing is perfect. There is no guarantee I will live a life void of injury or trauma, or that I won’t lose my freedom somehow. Everything good in my life could end before I wake up tomorrow.

I have a right to happiness. Everyone does.

Ah yeah. That has the fascade that I applaud.

Thank you. I will make an account when I get the time (I prefer not to make major decisons on my phone!).

The curse of knowledge is strong in all of us.
