Il y a beaucoup de société qui essaient d'humaniser leur communication et leur contenu. Quand on reçoit un mail, c'est plus "Service Client machintruc" c'est "Thomas/Noémie de machintruc" et même si dans 99% des cas c'est un mail automatique, peut-être même que Noémie ou Thomas ont quitté l'entreprise depuis un moment voire n'ont jamais existé, je comprends la démarche et ça me dérange pas (ou plutôt je m'en fous).

Pour se rendre plus sympa et humain, les prénoms c'est pas assez. Ils se sont mis à l'humour. Ne vous méprenez pas, je suis comme Karine Lemarchand j'adore rire. Mais là c'est trop et parfois ça devient limite gênant. Extraits d'un mail suite à une commande sur LDLC :

votre commande XXX le dimanche 9 avril 2023 à 09:48 (vous avez vu, on est ultra précis). Vous avez en plus choisi le mode de livraison « Retrait en Boutique » et nous allons avoir la chance de vous croiser « pour de vrai » au sein de votre magasin préféré.

"Pouet pouet on est des potirigolos !" Putain mais arrêtez j'ai passé l'âge de regarder un spectacle de marionnettes. J'ai eu a contacter le service client d'une autre entreprise par chat, et les employés sont formés à parler avec les utilisateurs dans le même esprit. Mon interlocuteur était sympa et a bien fait son taf, mais la conversation était ponctuée de "hop hop" ou "Et voila le travai!". Ça faisait vraiment forcé, à croire que le manager était juste derrière lui.

Seulement, ça ne s'arrête pas à la communication, certaines entreprises en mettent aussi dans leurs produits. J'ai testé le logiciel Bliss. Pendant la mise à jour, j'ai droit à un "Update in progress, go brew some coffee!". Pour les conditions d'utilisations, c'était du style "Blah blah blah on s'en fout personne lit". Plus récemment je teste l'application Plexamp. Idem ils foutent de l'humour forcé un peu partout, en particulier dans les réglages il n'y a presque pas un seul paramètre qui n'ait pas droit à sa petite blague. Et elles sont pour beaucoup assez nulles (selon moi évidemment) :

Loudness - On ne gagnera peut-être pas la guerre du Loudness, mais on peut gagner cette bataille.

Egaliseur - égalise ton son. Nous ne te jugerons pas.

Alors Loudness j'ai pas compris, c'est une ref à un truc que je connais pas ? Et l'égalisation ben... c'est souvent nécessaire d'égaliser, la blague n'a même pas de sens.

Et c'est pire à certains endroits comme la mémoire cache ou chaque quantité de mémoire à droit à sa blague, c'est pas très drôle et c'est pas du tout inspiré ("je passe sous un tunnel"... qui fait encore cette blague en 2023 ?)

Bref, ça me fatigue. Je suis un client qui paie pour un service ou un produit, on est pas potes. Je suis aimable et j'ai envie qu'on soit aimable avec moi, mais par pitié arrêtez de faire de l'humour à tout prix, c'est encore une fois beaucoup trop forcé et lourd, je ne suis pas là pour ça. Ça pourrait même me freiner à faire mes achats chez certains. Mais j'ai l'impression d'être un aigri quand j'en parle autour de moi. Je fais pas ça pour faire un rant, je me demande si d'autres s'en rendent compte et le ressentent comme moi ?

Well that's my main issue, my rig runs an i5-6900 and I have 16GB RAM. I gave 6 to the Linux VM, and try to maintain the usage on Windows as low as possible : not having the browser running on both, a plug-in to put to sleep tabs not used, stopping processes I'm not using. KDE is a bit too much in my case, but Cinnamon, or XFCE are working fine. I've found a new love with i3wm but it needs some time to tinker it to your taste.

But if you have a more recent computer, you should be fine. Upgrade the RAM maybe, if you find it to slow.

I tried dual booting, and I found it to be annoying as well. I always had to reboot because something I needed was on the other OS. Over a few weeks Linux was just taking space on the drive.

More recently what I've been doing was to run Linux in a VM that starts automatically on full screen when opening my Windows session (easy to set up). So now I can work with both in parallel, transfer data, synchronise clipboard with Ditto, have my Windows-specific software while still using Linux as my daily OS. Even better now since I have a NAS which I didn't have during the dual boot period, so I can mount drives for both. For that you can either use VMWare Workstation Player or Oracle VirtualBox, they're both free.

When it comes to swap, of course you will be able to run Windows in a VM on Linux. But transfering your current data ? I'm not sure at all. It might be doable, but I think you should save your data externally for both machines and do a proper reinstall. It will save you some time and hassle.

Use Sonarr or Radarr, it will download content for you as soon as it is available on the tracker. Since people are mostly looking for new stuff it works really well to boost your ratio. I have at least a ratio of 10 (first episode is closer to 20) for every Ahsoka and Futurama episodes. For Asteroid City I'm currently at 18.

I love to browser users files, not so much to see what they have I could be interested in, but mostly to check out how they manage their music folders. Every person does it differently.

For downloading music Soulseek is my main source. I might grab a torrent here and there for a specific release or when it's just a mess to get with Soulseek (like the Final Fantasy OSTs).

For managing the library and listening to it, Foobar2000 all the way. It can get a while to set it up properly but it will be tailored to your liking. It's the most advanced player out there. And there are plenty of add-ons (called components) to add features and basically do anything you could need : play MIDI or old consoles music files, play music from Youtube, get tags from Discogs or MusicBrainz, get lyrics, UPnP server... The interface is highly customizable as well. And you can create shortcuts for almost anything, components included (although shortcuts would need a revamp).

Oh and I didn't told you about queries. That makes tag fields as variables. So now you could make a query on a genre, a codec, an artist... "%codec% IS FLAC" will output only FLAC files. Very, very handy to manage your library. These variables can also be used to rename or move files. You can also use queries to create autoplaylists. These playlists are auto-updated based on the query, you don't have to maintain them. I have made a bunch for 60s to 2020s music, my favorite artists, or mixed compilations.

A few components to install right away : Playback Statistics and Enhanced Playback Statistics, they will no only give you better play stats (duh) but also new query fields. Masstagger to make batch modification on tags, this will save you a lot of time. Also for now install the 32bits version, many components are not available on the 64bits yet.

So yeah Foobar2000 takes a bit of time, but it's great, highly customizable. It has saved me dozens if not hundreds of hours to manage my library. And it's free. It's my favorite piece or software and I could talk about it all day long.

That's why I don't play japanese rpgs despite liking them. You have to "play" for 10 to 15 hours before the game actually starts. And during this time it's a whole lot of cinematic and dialogs with minimal gameplay. Sometimes it gets ridiculous. I can't remember which game, but after few minutes of dialog you'd be walking for less than a minute to then have dialog again... I want to play and have fun damn it.

I stopped playing online competitive games a while back, the last ones were overwatch (1) and dota. Now I almost only play solo games and I have a lot of fun. Currently 110+ hours in TOTK and I'm far from done with it. It's a category that's far from dead and there are any flavor that could fit your tastes.

The only online game I keep playing is MK8D because frustration never last long and there's no ELO ranking to be obsessed with. Also Splatoon once in a while.

Yeah I really like choco as well, I have my little script to keep softs updated, I haven't spent much time with winget yet. I might be wrong but I think Choco installs software in specific folders instead of the usual C:\Programs or Appdata ?

[-] GoumLeChat@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

winget uses official repos, choco uses its own community-maintained repo.
