Honestly just copying everything from 10 years ago 1:1 would be an improvement on most big applications.

It’s saying sometimes people need to hear something that will hurt them in order to get better. Which is true but a lot of people take that as a green light to be an asshole when they find someone who is “wrong”.

I use frozen berries to flavor my proats. They cancel out the weird tang from the protein powder. So far the only thing I’ve found that works and healthier than sugar anyway.

Not at Applebees. That place is terrible. I’d rather eat McDonald’s.

At work I keep them in onenote (they are encoded) because they won’t let us install an actual password manager and half the shit I log into doesn’t support SSO/doesn’t have it set up and is all on different password schemes. Our service account passwords are in a shared cyberark vault.

They don’t need to take away the command line. Just to make it so a low skill user can get by without it. Even windows ships with PowerShell.

Also had to update virtually every time I touched it and half the time those updates would break it so I had to reinstall. I didn’t use it on a daily basis or anything and it’s been a few years so maybe they fixed that but it’s why I don’t currently use it (along with the fact that it’s a microsoft product and I’m trying to stay away from all their shit as much as possible).

Something went wrong :(

Did a process last week that took me 13 steps in the command line that took about an hour. If I’d have done it manually it would have taken days. After I worked out how to do it I trimed it down to 6 steps and sent it to my coworker that also needs that information. His eyes glazed over on step two of explaining it to him and he’s just going to keep doing it his way…

Agreed. It shouldn’t be this way but it is and they should act as such. The consumers are the only ones who don’t benefit from being corrupt pieces of shit so I think it’s fair to blame them for enabling it. If they took a stand we wouldn’t be in this mess.

It’s just like everything else with technology. As soon as the “normies” start buying into it everything goes to shit. They don’t know what to look for and just buy whatever’s easiest. Once it gets that far the manufacturers can do whatever they want

I appreciate the fact that you went through your reasoning in such detail. Most of the time people are just like “use xxxx” with nothing more and comments like that are pretty worthless for someone with little familiarity with Linux.

Yeah, I’m not arguing with you, it’s just a pain in the ass to deal with. I don’t mind seeding the shit I download at all but it shouldn’t be a fucking competition when it’s a requirement to download stuff. Obviously they’re not hurting for seeders. IMO a better metric would be having a required seeding time (which they do anyway) and let you download as much as you want as long as you seed it long enough. Like you said I’ll never hit a positive ratio, even doing things your way I doubt I’d find enough shit I wanted to build up a big ratio. I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing and rely mainly on public trackers and use the private ones only when I can’t find what I’m looking for. I actually have quite a high ratio on both the private trackers I use just from seeding stuff for a long time and trading points in so I can download stuff, it just doesn’t help my ratio.

For that to work I’d have to know what I’m looking for in advance… I don’t really have enough media exposure for that. I usually find out about shows/movies I might be interested in after they’ve been out for months.

I have yet to get a positive ratio on anything I’ve ever downloaded from a private tracker. Always have to sit and wait to accumulate points in their seeding time system… It’s annoying because otherwise I’d be seeding a lot more shit for them.

Never the kernel but just about every time I touch /etc/fstab I fuck something up. I’ve done that a lot…

I have a friend that does this for me. I don’t pay them but it does work surprisingly well. I’m grateful that they’re understanding about my social anxiety issues and allow me to reject some of their invites without cutting me out in the future.

Maybe you could apply different tapes or something to the keys to tell them apart.

Just upgraded mine. As far as I can tell it works exactly the same as before except there is now a “Hub” web portal and admin console you can use to give out access to your projects. Reading the documentation they said it would break existing shares. It prompted me that it would ask additional questions during the set up depending on what I was doing but I didn’t have any previous shares and did not get any additional questions. I would assume the 30 day grace period is to plan for this so you can get any shared documents straightened out afterwards. After the update it prompted me to “set up how I use fusion” by picking a module and then if I wanted it to start with a blank document or a previous document or a demo. That was annoying but didn’t reappear after I re-launched the app. All in all I don’t think this is that much of a concern. Looking at the web admin page the options it gives seem like they would be useful for someone sharing projects.

Yeah, it’s always a good idea to be on your toes with these things.
