“Help step-brother, I’m stuck in the washing machine.”

Understandable, but it’s a significant diifculty in migrating fully to Linux when PDFs are used everywhere and there are solutions that work well on Windows. This is one of the few things I will get my wife’s Windows laptop for.

I’m the same with committing to Linux completely.

Previously, my Apex Legends account with hundreds of hours and unlocks got banned for no reason, but I made a new account and played on. Then they banned Linux and I’ve never looked back.

Now I’m looking forward to not being able to play 2XKO as well.

OpenSUSE doesn’t get recommended enough. Great distro I’ve settled with permanently after trying all the popular ones.

I’ve been through a lot of options trying to get the same functionality you mentioned. I’ve never found a single app that works particularly well. I’m surprised the state of PDF apps is so poor in Linux. Others have mentioned a bunch of apps and each fails in some major way. I’ll come back and check this comment section later for new suggestions for my own sake too.

Lol, yeah that’s what I meant. I did an internet search first and the AI result that came up gave me this spelling and a full proper (hallucinated) explanation along with it.

People here are mostly nice compared to mainstream platforms.

Try disagreeing with the hive mind. Anyone can be nice to someone who echo’s their own opinion. The real niceness of a person is revealed when they can show civility to people they disagree with (I’m not talking about LGBTQ oppressors or Nazis…there’s a huge spectrum of opinions that aren’t extreme).

Shouldn’t they be clapping and cheering even more in the last panel?

Yeah there are a bunch of benefits you can claim from the government: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/benefits-check/

Healthcare is also not tied to any job or anything.

This is hyperbole. Healthcare cost might be covered, but there are a lot more expenses with being sick. Social support and housing support in the UK is laughable. Good luck if you cant work because of disability. The hospital will keep you alive…and then discharge you to the street.

Still better than America though.

Really worth listening to this podcast as well. It’s a guy teaching corporate teams to make best use of AI. He goes over how to use it to get really great use by using it as a discussion rather than just asking it a question and expecting and accurate answer in the first instance

AI has been most useful for tech support for me. I wouldn’t have been able to switch to Linux completely if AI didn’t instantly find solutions for me, rather than being told by the community to read tomes of documentation.

I also use it a lot to find how to get office apps to do what I want.

I’m famous at work for being a poet, when I actually just ask AI to write a short witty poem.

You can use image generators to make nice personalised cards to share on special events.

AI can make mind maps and things like that if you tell it what you want.

“I am Pagliacci”

I think this is good advice.

NAS is not a product for normies, so there doesn’t seem to be huge demand on the secondhand market. So that works out better for buyers and you can usually pick up a pretty great deal secondhand.

Make a group in your preferred chat app (WhatsApp, telegram, discord, signal, whatever). You’re the only person in this group. Take a screenshot and share it to this group. Now you can open the messaging app on whichever device you want and the picture is right there for you.

For real though: it’s easier to convince the wife if the old TV can be sold to make the space and get some money to put towards the new one. TVs can last for decades and it’ll be a long time if you’re waiting for it to get “broken”.

This is the way
