looks like strict parents are the way to fit into the corporate world :p

from the poorest euro poor… who probably has free healthcare and a safety net D :

i have converted my wife and brother, but im still debating whether i should get my mother on linux. its going to be a rough ride, but i’ll get there…

the famous actress Sigourney Weaver? (Alien franchise)

when my wife does this to me, i say “yes” and do what i was asking.

#NotAVampire

i only need to put up with this motherfucker for 22 more years.

almost… there…

nah, they can just profit off of it.

people who talk about their education when it is not part of the conversation are usually pretty dumb.

its prenatal, not pre-covid.

jimb can cause a chuckle in business meetings.

usually a band plays for ~30-45m - enjoying music time - and ~15m-1h (depending on the setup for that night) of downtime for chatting.

as one with limited mobility, i have made friends at the local, extremely small, music venue. tickets at the door are $20, beer is cheap, and everyone is super friendly.

because its a small place, the owner lets me take a chair with me when i am going to one of the stages that has no seating (i use a cane; its hard to stand for long periods). i usually sit next to the merch tables, and the friends of the bands usually strike up conversation.

this is a suuuuuper small place. it has 2-3 stages (depending on the night), but they are really close together, so only one band at a time can play (two stages are outside because the building is so small). even if its not music, go to really small local places that get decent crowds - they are a lot more personable.

these were most likely filmed on federal land that is super easy to get permits for. there is a large area in inland southern california for these types of things that the federal government controls and is legally required to give permits for (unless environmental concerns like leaving your trash arises).

if this is true, its the same area where burning man and other desert festivals are held : D

because this is a work computer, make sure to name the program something like logitech_driver.exe or something so it and infosec dont get mad

okay, i went at it for a few hours and got the ux to something minimally acceptable to me; however, the wife disagrees. the same pain points for me are hers, as well.

i am not sure if this can be modified, but if so then i havent figured out how to resolve it. i have tried out a few skins, but i have changed to arctic zephyr to make sure the language i am using translates correctly.

the biggest issue we currently have with UX is selecting a show/movie to watch. the multi-step process just to get into a poster list is something i am looking to curtail. the following examples are how i can browse movies by genre to select/play a movie

on android TV’s jellyfin app:

1. open jellyfin app
2. select movies
3. all movies are listed here as posters, select browse by genre
4. movies are shown as posters in paginated rows to select under each genre and can be selected to play

on Kodi jellycon app:

1. select videos
2. select video addons
3. select jellycon app
4. select jellyfin libraries
5. select movies folder
6. select genres (no posters yet, and i dont even use 4-5 of these subfolders)
7. choose a genre.
8. select a movie

i believe i can reduce the steps count by 1 or two on kodi by booting to the videos or videos>addons menu, but in the current steps there is selectable content in androidtv>jellyfin app on step 2. in kodi>jellycon, selectable content doesnt appear until step 8.

the steps to get here are still wife-unacceptable. it feels too much like using a computer to her instead of sitting down to consume passive media. do you know if there is a way to change this to be a bit more similar to jellyfin/netflix/prime/d+/p+/hulu/max/curiosity stream/every other major streaming platform by lowering the barrier steps to selectable content?

at 40, i do go out less than in my twenties but we still go out. a lot of our younger friends dont know how to party and always go home super early :/

though yes i would take this deal, it makes me contemplate voting republican just to see him in jail… but that would just be the revenge talking… i’d probably stick with ms. stein.

though it makes me angry that im glad you have this and hope you are safe out there, it also made me giggle. laughcry moment, i guess <3

what genre would you describe as shitting music? <3

as someone who has never been to NY, im surprised there are 5 free seats but people are standing.
