Came here to say this, Gmail search has been basically broken for me for years. The preview suggestions when typing in a search query have been more accurate for me than the actual search.

I have a couple of old emails from 2020 that always appear in search results no matter what I search for.

How? Isn’t that what’s being discussed here, that too make bitmap shapes there isn’t a dedicated tool for it, instead you have to do multi-step workarounds.

Maybe? The person I was responding to was making a direct comparison that GIMP is bitmap only and insinuated that shapes are only vectors.

Bioshock was a cut down version of the “shock” gameplay - no inventory management, much more linear path, etc.

I remember at the time people complained that it was “dumbed down for console”.

I still enjoyed it though, but I can see why veterans of the genre would feel things are missing or fall short while newcomers would be blown away.

Men are also gay for going down on women, for some reason.

Why does a shape tool have to mean vectors are involved?

Why can’t I just draw some bitmaps in different shapes?

Sea urchins? We have those on land, too, they’re called land sea urchins.

You keep saying to people that they’re missing your point but over all of your comments, I don’t see what point you’re trying to make. You keep alluding to some mistreatment by the EU when we left, but haven’t elaborated further.

You keep saying we’re better off with the US as an ally, but haven’t given any real steer as to why that is - especially concerning given that the US has turned on many of it’s closest allys. They’ve also not given us a trade deal and I’m far keep threatening tariffs so how much better off are we with them, really?

All of this is kind of moot anyway, the world and political landscape has changed massively in the last couple of months; most Britain’s now so not see the US as an ally according to recent polling, so no political leader is going to lose face by aligning with the EU.

Besides all that, everything is a negotiation and in this instance, both the EU and the UK will benefit each other. It would be senseless for either party to be spiteful over what happened years ago when the real looming threat is in the whitehouse right now

Worryingly, she genuinely looks like an ex of mine from like 20 years ago.

He quit. He’s the best at quitting drugs, he’s quit them hundreds of times.

Anyone that’s played plague Inc knows how this goes. It’s not a winning strategy.

Yeah I think your problem was trying to use ~ in a path. That’s a bash thing, not a linux thing - slightly pedantic distinction for many but worth knowing about in case future applications give you a similar problem.

Don’t set it to your home path, set the path explicitly. That’ll be what it’s complaining about, the ~.

It shouldn’t really matter where you’ve got your files as long as they’re mounted on a standard path. Maybe try creating a symlink from where your media is to a standard path like /mnt/media or something?

Hmm sorry not sure why it would be complaining about an invalid path. Is it all paths that are invalid, or just the ones to your media?

I don’t think you should be getting downvotes for having an opinion and I appreciate your reply.

However I do love a good debate - what’s the advantages for you for installing apps on “bare metal” (I’m assuming you mean a base OS install rather than actual bare metal). What about virtualisation?

I’m also on emby and it works well for me. My main grievance is setting up a new device is a chore, “emby connect” is far too clunky to use so I end up configuring via URL every time - and on some devices that’s a real chore.

What’s wrong with docker?

Let’s not rewrite history, 20 years ago desktop Linux was an absolute shit show.

Am UK citizen, can confirm.
