I hate when I plan a specific "fun" activity for a specific time (like firing up a new server and testing it after kids go to bed), but when the time comes to do said task, my brain goes "nah, [other thing] is more fun" and suddenly it's 2 weeks later and the initial activity has been successfully avoided.

It's like two parts of my brain are fighting against each other. Drives me absolutely insane.

Don't quote me on this, but I've heard SpaceX itself is pretty good at keeping Musk away from the actually important things. Something about having a team dedicated to keeping him distracted.

Same. My two older kids (teenagers) will come to me with literal lists of albums and TV shows 😂

Man pages tend to assume a lot and overload the user with information.

Forums are full of "duh, haven't you read the man pages, idiot?" kinds of people.

Web searches are full of AI/garbage (same thing) articles that focus on distros/programs that are either horrendously inaccurate, out of date, or simply don't exist anymore.

Therefore, I utilize the tldr man pages, and use extremely specific terms for web searches.

I (American) need subtitles to understand American shows.

While I don't necessarily disagree with you, trains are used here all the time specifically for long haul stuff.

  1. About fucking time.

  2. RIP Tasker.

João, Tasker's dev, already gets hit with enough random shit from Google because of how many permissions, accessibility items, and other things that Tasker requests.

I've been subscribed to his Patreon for several years, and if you're a paying member, one of your perks is that João offers a free (yeah I know, "free") APK download not tied to Google Play services, with permanent licenses. A few months ago, I finally just said "fuck google in the ass for this", uninstalled the Play Store version from my phone, and got my Patreon Tasker APK.

Also I just checked and apparently I have 53 licenses available...

Airbnb was started to offer up your free space to someone for a night for a bit of cash, and that was it. Then the morons found out and bought whole ass houses specifically to rent out on Airbnb.

People ruin everything.

In windows' defense, the "complication" comes from the fact that there is no constant visual display of the filesystem structure in a terminal window like there is in the Windows registry.

That said, taking an hour to become comfortable with the terminal is not a difficult task. Understanding ~, and constantly using df -h and ls -al (for me anyway) will help a lot of people figure it out.

IMO, we need a bunch of extra manly-looking trans men to protest in women's restrooms everywhere (if they're up for it).

Assigned female at birth, after all...

I'm pretty sure that could be used against them, especially if they told you in writing 🤔

Just to clarify - those aren't high beams. It's just lifted enough to where the cutoff is above your eyesight. Still sucks ass.
