  I ask myself that on a regular basis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I volunteer at the public library. Almost all the people who come in are phones only, and totally lost on a PC. They come in to fill out gov’t PDFs that won’t open on their phones and to print stuff out. My classmates, in the IT program (!) have a lot of trouble navigating on their laptops, and only a couple of us have desktops at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you consider me a “dry texter”?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to be a dry texter, but now I intersperse gifs of waterfalls, oceans, lakes or rivers every three or four messages. It took effort, but nobody accuses me of being dry anymore! (Also, I moisturize in the winter.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone want my 12 year old old Ubuntu install DVD before I toss it out? No? Your loss.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s it, I’m going to go find my Mandrake Floppies…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one: Laptop. Could this be hardware or software related?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This happened to my laptop that I had a long time ago. I found a guide where I took out the motherboard, wrapped it in foil except where the GPU was, then used a blow dryer to heat the solder connecting the GPU to the mobo. Worked for another six months, then it happened again, so I replaced the system.

  Well, I guess I’m re-sending Starter Villain again…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m coming off of two years (and change) of daily, debilitating pain. I’m just now starting to get used to moving around on the regular again, and trying to get back into a shape that isn’t “round.” As a consequence of this, I also don’t have a job. During those two years, I spent more than seven months collecting doctor’s reports and paperwork to get coverage for the medications prescribed… In Canada! The stuff that was covered here would have absolutely bankrupted me in the US. (Yes, I got declined.)

  No comment.

  The rook taking pieces was my favorite thing! We had it for the Amiga.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of person am I if I decide to stay in a job, even if my supervisors work against me?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not similar, but my old job sucked, hated my boss, hated many of my co-workers, and despised the company. I took a package out and am back at school, and don’t regret it for one minute. Fear of the unknown is how bad bosses keep good employees.

  A schooner is a sailboat!

  Well, died him?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to know if Im understanding this guide correctly before I dive into rebuilding my server.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have Jellyfin working on it as it’s own VM in Proxmox. It has a long delay before a stream starts, but playback is fine. No complaints. It accesses my media as a mount off of a different PC over Samba.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to know if Im understanding this guide correctly before I dive into rebuilding my server.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup! Exactly right. Weirdly, I just did this exact guide. I already had the Proxmox and a template of Ubuntu, but the rest, yup! I am running a pinhole Docker, and a SearxNG, and they both work great, on OAF hardware. I meant to write EoL, but OAF works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any self-cleaning cat litter boxes any good, or worth the money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not, and I will check! If that’s all it is… It’s been finicky for years!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any self-cleaning cat litter boxes any good, or worth the money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My friends bought me a litter robot, too. I have mixed feelings. I seem to have to reset and fiddle with the thing too often, but when it works, it’s really good for keeping the smell down. My guys use it more often than the other two old school boxes, so I guess two paws up from them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any prince movies for kids?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was going to make this exact joke, so thank you! Also, I have “Trust” from Batman 1989 in my head now.
