Q_the_misanthrope

lol are you serious? Yeap, I am stating they are basically the same and I chose the slightly easier path because life is hard enough. My life is essentially the same, same apps, same features, but now Google isn’t humping my leg to use Gemini or breaking my shared calendar link.

Btw, Apple has 58% of us market share. Not exactly like Android is the underdog with no one using it. So I left a platform used by 130 million people and went to a platform with 200 million people. Bahhh

I was a long time android user, 20+ years maybe, I don’t know. Anyway, I Switched to iPhone a few months ago so I could easily share calendars with family and use location tracking and AirTags. The phones are basically the same as Android. Different but the same and not as big a difference as I thought. Less different than moving from windows to Linux or gnome to kde or pen to pencil.

Rally against Apple or Google or whomever but I was able to just move on with my life and have a bit more convenience with my family. It’s fine.

And The Postman.

I’ve been struggling to find a movie thread replacement. Seems like all the movie communities are dead. Any recommendations?

This is incredible, what an insane and amazing project. The time, planning, expense and effort is incredible. Congrats on huge progress and making it to the end. I’m amazed.

I Just finished digging a 90’ trench 16” deep for drainage by hand over the last month. I understand digging and effort. You are amazing.

Exactly. I have a small trailer and it holds 1600lbs. That’s a half yard of crashed stone. A baby-bucket on their front loader and he had to be gentle dumping it in. Earth and rock is heavy in the same way space is big. It’s hard to grasp how much it weighs and how much there is.

I feel you.

Long time Linux user but full time at home about a year. I had to rename Spectacle to snip because I can not remember to type s-p-e-c instead of snip. It wasn’t worth fighting anymore so I just renamed the shortcut.

Also struggle with LibreCalc opening when I search for calculator. I just can’t remember kcalc either. But I won’t rename it, trying to struggle through. Just have two decades of muscle memory to overcome.

Troy was under flash flood warning yesterday, so I probably should have had a boat. It was very wet.

Beam the poop and pee out. Easy peasy.

Big fan of Immich.

I have a couple thousand photos that were taken since around time When blackberry was big and before. Older family photos I’ve scanned. Home videos from vcr tapes. Stuff I wouldn’t want to use up my space on cloud drives but it’s sooo nice having them in Immich and organized.

I have local backups and offsite backup btw, and redundancy in the server itself. But Immich is great. Paid supporter.

There is a start trek voyager episode like this. It’s a great one. It’s called Meld, in Season 2.

Exactly. I don’t live on a long street but I know about half of the people on my street. I intentionally make the effort. I don’t need to be best friends with anyone but we face all the same local problems so why wouldn’t I want them to have my back, care enough to keep an eye on things as I do for them.

It takes effort to be outside and say hi and make a little small talk and learn their names, pets and kids.

Worth it in every neighborhood I’ve lived in.
