I’ve felt like Courage the Cowardly Dog until the last year or two.

I, for one, feel a lot less crazy now that people are seeing what I have been seeing for a long time. I hear about it more even from old folks, my in laws now ask more questions as do my own parents. That gives me a lot of hope. Change is inevitable.

I’m not your friend, buddy!

StirlingPDF is basically 1 size fits all.

StirlingPDF does this. I’ll dm you the one I host for my writing group.

You can pick the project you want to participate in. :)

Because of a few strategically placed wait commands.

Just in case, a big thread this week for Linux users: https://feddit.org/post/14167855

Reddit feels like walking into a creepy anamatronic exibit alone at night. You keep looking for someone to ask where the exit is, and occasionally you bump into another warm blooded creature that is sometimes human, but you slowly start to realise that most of those shadowy figures aren’t alive. You’re trapped there until you start listening for the real music softly calling below the ambient noise of the exhibit in the distance.

Thanks for your baby! It’s great.

Can you expand on these later when you have time?

I was using it for auto tagging of categories. I haven’t tried immich but I just moved my photos to my snapraid, so I might give it a shot. It looks like it’s come far since I looked last.

I just introduced my partner to this a week ago. Trying to slowly convert him into a Linux user haha. It works with Windows too!
