  • I use exclamations in Windows (“!!first” will be sorted above “!second” for example)

    and “I’m curious what’s the need for the folder to be sorted first that something like folder pinning or tagging”

    Not sure what “tagging” would be in a windows perspective, does it have that? and “pinning” could be using the Quick Access bar I guess which I do for folders I want access to GLOBALLY, but if I have many sub-folders, and in the context of THAT FOLDER I am interested in several more than the rest, but outside that folder I don’t care less about them, I’ll use exclamations so I can find them easier

    (Example, I have a TTRPG folder of art assets for maps from dozens of different sources, each with own naming conventions, and two folders !!Sorted and !Working, as I slowly go though the list to find, name, sort, discard and otherwise clean up the list so I can find what I want. If it was called “Sorted” it would be in the middle of the folder structure and a pain to find when I need it, but I also NEVER NEED that sub-folder unless I am working on cleaning up/sorting that data)


  • “trying to be gritty and shocking”.

    Yeah that was our take away. Overly gory, very little of the humor from the game. My wife abandoned it after 3/4 an episode (too much gratuitous violence for her) and I probably wont both with the rest

    If you love that sort of hard core violence graphically depicted, with imaginative effects such as pushing a gun into someones head, and then shooting a hole through that (briefly) still live persons head, killing a few more people this may be your cup of tea.





  • Thanks, I decided to see what happened with a Mint Install (Before I saw your reply) so as a Toe-in-water thing to learn more about the OS and see what stuff was like. I only Kitty into a Linux server for work and do some basic tasks on it occasionally so was interested.

    An … interesting experience… trivial install, easy enough to understand the UI, entirely failed to get a Plex server working though… Nothing on the network can see it (Local works fine) which doesn’t make much difference because Plex has nothing to server since it can’t see the folder with movies on it due to, I believe, ownership issues (The files are on a portable USB drive)

    Still fiddling but most help documents descend into arcane command line arguments very quickly and are generally “wrong” in that they suggest editing files that don’t exist in folders that aren’t there.

    Still… a learning experience :) (Easy enough to kill it and tried Debian if I can’t work out chown!


  • What part of this do you think is hard?

    Not hard… essentially worthless however…

    The articles are saying “Here is a list of almost all known versions of Linux, these are good for you to use” when you query what the best option is… Hardly narrowing down anything. Likewise saying “Use your favorite… then install the product you want to use” is also useless information if you are asking the question I was… I have no favorite obviously since I know nothing about it… and OBVIOUSLY I am going to install the produce I just asked about installing…

    The pages I was looking at answered the question “How do I install Linux?” by saying “First, Install Linux”

    Not to say there aren’t better sources, but all the first ones I found where along that theme




  • I can never watch this whole video, gives me ptsd every time.

    Used to work with one of those project manager types, and when we got out of the meeting afterward, and I’d tell him what we just promised was impossible.

    He’d just tell me to just “draw 2 red lines” which was all they really wanted and they’d never notice the rest of the stuff wasn’t there.
    He was usually right, but it was still stressful, the wilfully ignorance
