Also, fuck “normal”. That’s just a word

Sometimes when I think “why can’t I just be normal???..”, I like to remind myself that there is no such think as “normal” :)

Same here 🥲

Same moment of realization for me too…

I think I’d agree that asking for help would be a skill. In my opinion, it takes courage to put yourself out there and face all the shitty people that there may be and all the(ir) criticisms. On another note to that, getting help, getting dependant on that help, then what if it goes away? What next?

This i think is one of the things I struggle with in regards to asking for help. It’s terrifying.

Just wanted to get my thoughts out. Sorry if it’s not appropriate here.

Yeah, that was the same thing with me and my windows machines for years (i think I remember it working properly at one point though). I heard they recently fixed it though.

Hmmm… I have a Samsung (and using the default phone app), and it doesn’t do that. Maybe only when using Google phone app?

The thing with winget, i believe, I that when installing non-MS store programs, you still have to go through the program’s installer.

Whereas you don’t need to look at an installer with apt or similar

I second this sentiment. I would love to know more!

From experience (this was a few years ago, but still holds up even today), yes. The GUI installer is very easy to use (there’s lots of visual stuff to). The one thing that the installer does better that the Debian installer, in my opinion, is partitioning (there’s more visual aids (a slider you can move around, I believe) (a disclaimer: this is basedoff of materials that i read online, not any personal experience)).

If you want images and stuff, you can always look up ‘Calamares installer’ (which I believe is the installer Mint uses)

Wish you the best of luck on your linux journey!

E: disclaimer

100x this.

I don’t know about everyone, but I find that these types of conversations can be stimulating/interesting

Yea, would’ve canceled prime if not for the rapid delivery. I do notice that the delivery times have stretched out to 2 days.

can’t comment on Prime video, since i don’t use it much, but i don think the ads in a paid service is a pretty scummy thing to do.

The main driving force for me to cancel is mostly the way they treat their workers, but the sad thing is that it seems that dependency on amazon is gone up nowadays, with most malls/ stores closing (Fry’s Electronics is one that I can name off the top of my head)

I find that KeePassXC works great for if you don’t mind not being able to sync passwords that easily. You don’t have to pay a subscription for it.

Zero rn, but might be getting Amazon Prime soon.

True. But at the very least, get a dongle or wired earphones that directly connect to the phone (usb-c earphones exist, not sure about lighting connector). They are also not too expensive, compared to wireless earphones.

Used Saily while on vacation. Loved it. Switched on thee same day (where I was going there is a 3 day wait on SIM activation I believe), and the connection was pretty good.

there is also ydotool for Wayland

for Windows and Linux, pair the Linux machine from Windows, or Windows will pair it as an audio device and you won’t be able to share files.

if you have the app/feature on both devices, QuickShare.

on Linux, there’s RQuickShare, which lets you use QuickShare on Linux

bluetooth would obv. be slower, but it’s fine for small files imo. you definately start to feel the slowness on large files or a large amount of files (each one is its own transfer, and from experience, I feel that it would have gone faster on WiFi.)

Ahhh. That clears some things up. Thank you! :)

I thought the Imgur thing on reddit was optional? like, you could upload directly. Do they use it as a backend or something? Am I missing something?
