I don’t really follow any holiday traditions anymore. My friends don’t get me stuff and I don’t get them stuff.

I even stay home for Thanksgiving and don’t go to watch fireworks on the 4th.

It’s not that I don’t get out, but more so that I avoid the calamity everyone else is in on those days. To me, it’s a day off work and some time to catch up on chores or projects.

But that’s more tha- Oh.

Didn’t work for me. I don’t have any pictures of mountains, though.

One of my favorite standup sets of all time

It’s wild that it’s been at least 15 years since I last saw this movie and I could instantly recognize it as Scary Movie 3.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I’d rather be struggling and free than struggling and oppressed.

Guys, I didn’t mean it, but I hope my Future Woman With Corn post wasn’t the thing that set off this whole train.

It’s been a long while since I used it and at one point I did figure out how to browse it, but I remember documentation pointing out that it’s meant to be left alone and do all your file management through NextCloud itself.

Sometimes I needed to do big file operations or drop in a chunk of data straight from the server, but it wouldn’t ingest those files unless I did a sync or upload them using the client.

Maybe things have changed, but last I used it, it was 14 services that were all sort of good when I needed the service to do one thing really well.

I played it like 2 or 3 years ago and had a blast with it all the way through the full campaign again. I wouldn’t say it’s the best story, but I loved traveling all around the sea and meeting all the characters. I’m into AC games for the immersion and gameplay. Story is the last reason I play these.

I have about 6% confidence this will capture what made me enjoy the first game. I’ll probably just replay the original again.

I constantly would get files stuck in the database that I couldn’t delete. All of the forum posts would talk about going into the database to fix it, but the whole point of NextCloud for me was to completely avoid database management.

I’ve fallen back to using DUFS or copyparty for most things since I really just needed my file store to be browsable via web in some cases.

I probably would still be using NextCloud if they didn’t obfuscate the file system.

You should dress up KDE to look like Windows 11 just to prove a point.

I find a big part of trying to be the friend that transitions others to Linux is taking on the role of mentor. It’s something a lot of wish we could just hand to someone and dust off our hands, but that ultimately leads to experiences like yours.

For a better chance of success, especially on first install, be on the line with them as they go through the steps, or in person is better yet.

Answer all the questions you can and help them install all their usual stuff. Most people don’t want to have to go through this change, so making it fun and social goes a long way.

The only people I know that I’ve not been able to convince are absolutely attached to their competitive shooters. That seems to be the last bastion for many.

I’ve tried to explain (in very subtle ways) that their lives would genuinely be better off without those types of games reeling them in, but it’s a genuine addiction for them.

I’m the opposite. Anything that overlays on the screen is actively frustrating to me. I’ll deal with it for foreign film, but for English, I always turn them off, even if they’re defaulted on.

He hits it on the head. Good for personal projects, terrible for maintained/mainstream ones.

Uuuuhhh… Laptop, horse, Jackie Chan — Damn!

It is impossible to wake up until you are fully rested, including by alarm, fire, or intruder.

Monk strats for the win. My new tactic is running up walls to get an attack from above and gaining free advantage.

I love how the other players say they don’t consider it cheating.
