Oh, I agree. My comment really hinges on the idea that it actually works. Which I doubt immensely haha.

I try to never underestimate what people are willing to do, like, and put up with for whatever reasons.

Considering how un-tech savvy newer generations are, I would not be shocked if the idea of being able to tell a computer what to do and “it just does it” appeals. This is, of course, assuming it works as intended (lol.)

I also see this as a further dumbing down of that ability to understand tech. Hypothetically, if this were to launch, go mainstream, and the vast majority of future computer users use it, can you imagine a world in which a future teenager looks confused and goes, “What’s an app?”

If the dev does indeed allow for custom servers, I imagine if the ‘main’ server fills up, someone could join a fresh/empty server and start anew?

Feels like these things are lining up “coincidentally” huh?

I believe the numbers I saw were about 3-5k, so it might not handle your collection well. However, I encourage you to check their github to confirm rather than just go off my vague recollection alone.

The devs are also pretty responsive to bug reports!

I will say that they themselves have mentioned that there is kind of a limit in library size because the project is meant to serve “small to modest personal libraries” but I think it was ranked as a few thousand, so that won’t be a problem for most people I think.

“I gave Amazon my money and I’m mad, so I’m going to give even more money to another billionaire corp.”

Not permanently but I still appreciate the counter-buffs when they get cast. :)

Is it strange I do sometimes think about things like that? Not all the time thankfully, but it is one of those ‘what if?’ scenarios that pop up now and then.

I appreciate the optimism; it definitely feels permanent because I’m in the thick of a rough patch right now, but your comment did remind me that all things change eventually. (It’s a little boost of positivity if nothing else)

Another one I didn’t know existed!

Oh! I didn’t even know that community existed!

Given the amount of people still proudly sporting Trump merch in the rural area I live, I do think he’d still win. I literally don’t understand these people, the sheer lack of… anything. Awareness. Empathy. Self-preservation!?

The only person I vaguely know well enough to take a crack at why she’s like this, is because she herself is a raging narcissist who wants to be special and feel special. So she aligns her views with the person who tells her “You’re special!” and gives her that desperate validation. Morals become secondary to feeling good rather than being the source of it. It’s incredibly sad.

I did flip my peripheral electronics, it’s just my main computer I haven’t changed yet. I made an attempt a while back ago but ran into enough snags, after already having a rough day, that I gave up and I haven’t tried again since. I’m pretty sure I know what the problem is, I just haven’t found myself wanting to sit down and burn the time it would take to install the new OS and get everything installed and tweaked how I like it etc. The latter part being a most-of-the-day project.

I will do it eventually though. I am sick of Windows. Now I just need to get over my fatigue and get off my ass.
