Nice. I think we simultaneously wrote very similar comments. But I don't use my Jellifin to mimick live TV. Either I choose some movie or the next episode of my new favorite TV show, or I just waste my time on YouTube. I also used to watch Netflix, but I think they removed most of the interesting content.

Wow, MythTV is still around? I used that like 12 years ago. I've stopped watching live TV since. Except for some of the regional program and news that's part of public broadcasting.

Lots of photos are edited. Probably almost all more professional ones. It certainly also doesn't help that AI enhancement is now default in newer phones.

And it's bound to be difficult. We try to use AI to judge if an image is real. But on the other hand we train the AI image generators to generate more and more realistic images.I don't think we can have both at the same time because they contradict each other.

OP gave some clues, though. I think the comment with "London" was meant to be a joke. But it's true that this kind of surveillance is common in Britain, some parts of Asia and some random big cities. And OP knows how to write the time of the day properly, so they're certainly not from the USA. 😉

Yeah, sometimes perceived reality and the real reality are two things. And there are places where you can't walk on the streets as a woman. I'm not sure if it's about fear in your case. Or just because you broke your promise but there isn't any fear involved.

Anyways, in relationships general advice is to talk to each other. Ask her what's bothering her. Maybe it's a pretend reason and there is something deeper that's bothering her. Maybe this was the proper reason. Maybe she's a resentful person. Maybe she just had a bad day.

Unless it happens regularly or there are other factors to it, I wouldn't necessarily attribute it to malice or be a manipulation strategy...

Yes. In professional settings that means with that degree you can expect a certain salary, and the position pays considerably less.

Colloquially it's also used for: You'll be bored with a task. Or waste your potential.

Yeah, I've been using Debian, Arch and NixOS in the past. And at least those 3 didn't need any Snaps or Flatpaks. It's in deb-multimedia.org or the AUR and Nix has it per default (like it should be anyways, if you ask me.)

I don't think it's gaslighting. Gaslighting is manipulating someone into questioning their perception of reality. This is being angry at someone.

I can't really relate. Is it really that dangerous where you live? We probably live in different countries but I don't have CCTV in the residential area where I live. And usually in the summer, it's still bright enough at 10pm an people are still around and it's safe enough for women to walk home alone. At least in most places.

I remember fighting with the browser source. Nowadays you can just install a full build of OBS from some (third party) repositories. At least that's what I've done. Good reminder not to use Snap. As far as I know it's just causing problems for lots of people.

Btw I don't find the language that offensive. Sure it's not meant for kids. But I think fairly acceptable for a rant.

Hmm. I guess that works, too. I'm just a nerd and really like Free Software. Almost exclusively use it. My phone runs a custom ROM with just a few unfree apps and without Google services, all my computers run Linux. Even the internet router does, and my IoT smart sockets run Tasmota or ESPHome. I like the 4 freedoms and the culture behind it. I participate and regularly contribute. All of that is mostly personal preference. I guess I could as well live comfortably with using Google Drive, but I choose not to. Source-available software would allow me to look at the code, something proprietary software doesn't allow. But that's pretty much it. I often can't remix and share it as I like. I don't have the freedom to decide to use it as it pleases me. And depending on the exact license, I can't even invite my friends and family to use the services I set up...

It's just the line I draw. And with the software I really rely on and use daily, I'm pretty strict. Either it provides me with the Four Essential Freedoms of Free Software as lined out by RMS in the eighties, or I don't volunteer to use it. I have no issues though with other people making different choices.

Is it Free Software? In the repo is a LICENSE file, saying it's Apache licensed. But I also found an EULA saying it's not Free Software...

Seems perfectly alright. I think for HDDs, consensus is you overwrite everything and you're fine. If you want to make absolutely sure you can do multiple passes, like 2 or 3 with different (random) data should suffice. There are a lot of myths around though, concerning wiping data.

I generally use the common, established linux utilities: 'wipe' or 'shred' or just 'dd' on the whole device. The Arch Wiki has a long article on Securely wipe disk. I guess nwipe is fine, too.

Terms and conditions apply if you're using flash memory or SSDs. Overwriting them is not 100% effective. But for plain harddisks it is.
