I always find this article fascinating: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/

Fav: 5/5 super smart, great memory, always willing to help. Treats you with human kindness and consideration. Covers for you when you need it and makes sure to give constructive feedback.

Worst: 1/5 Talks and talks and talks endlessly without respect for other people’s time nor his own. Repeats the same thing in 5 different ways and never fails to dominate the conversation and not let anyone speak. When he does let you speak he doesn’t understand what you say unless he asks a question. Example: Me: “If you push this button it will do x.” Him: “I don’t get it, so what does this button do?” Me: “It does x.” Him: “Oh now I get it.” Me: slams hand on forehead All the above plus a long list of other similar issues. He is the team lead and even his ideas are awful, sometimes they’re good, but many times they are bad to worse.

I feel like Linux is good for power users or users like your grandfather who are not very tech savvy. The issues arise with users savvy enough to get themselves into trouble but not enough to understand how to fix it or how to do a slightly more advanced task.

If you know all your passwords and can’t forget them, I’m assuming your using some sort of pattern to remember them in which case you have a major issue in case of data breaches as your other passwords can be guessed.

Disclaimer I don’t have one, but seems like 2-4 weeks between charges.

I had a lady I was helping with tech support ask me about her lightbulbs. I just told her I didn’t know the answer. She said “well you should know, it’s electronic.”

Most people just use a package manager the vast vast majority of time. People don’t typically compile from source or figure out different file types.

Oh I guess, I meant to say is it good for general purpose use alongside gaming.

Is bazzite good for general purpose use also?

Partiful / evite. There’s not much out there that’s a good simple replacement.

Where can I learn more? This is fascinating.

Even worse in my opinion is when you find someone who had the same problem as you and the only person who replies says “use google.” It’s like that’s how I got to this page!

Why do you have Jellyfin and plex?

Yeah I agree, not defending discord just wanted to point out the April fools joke.

I clicked on that, it was actually just an April fools joke, there was nothing to buy.

I dreamt about being at the beach with my brother. We were wearing full suit and tie with dress shoes. We walked near the water but not close enough to get wet. We saw some guy on the water on one of those water bikes pushing around a warehouse on the water. My brother then started to run away as the waves started to get closer to us, I didn’t run away in time and my shoes and bottom of my pants got soaked. I walked back to the end of the beach where there was a 4 foot retaining wall. My brother was standing on top of it warning me about the waves. I assured him they wouldn’t reach this far back. Shortly after that the waves started crashing against me as I held on the retaining wall the waves started to crash over me and the wall continuously pouring over the wall now completely soaking both myself who was standing at the base of the wall in the sand and my brother who was standing on top of it. As the waves crashed against us and we got soaked we were looking at each other and just laughing, and then I woke up.
