Oh yeah I just found it amusing that the old “unreliable” thing is now being used as a gauge for “reliable enough”
I luckily have no experience with either breaking for me over 15ish years of active computer usage, so I have no fears or trust issues there yet. I also use cloud saves on steam for everything and I’m lucky enough to live in an area with good internet, so worst case I play a different game while my big game is downloading again after I broke something.
I remember people saying that about SSDs vs HDDs, SSDs were the unreliable newfangled junk. Am I old?
For me the biggest leap was letting go of my local settings. My kubuntu has about everything I want out of the box, then I install zsh with omz and I’m pretty much done.
So whenever I break something it’s an easy fresh install.
My data (steam games, code) is in a separate drive, and especially with cloud saves / git everything is available even if I were to break that drive (would just suck to remember which things I need to redownload from where).
So that helped me release my tinkering spirit as much as I wanted, and while I’m far from a Linux guru, I’ve definitely learned a lot from that.
Edit: not to say that I don’t try to fix things, just knowing that I can easily restart is the main thing.
On Linux I’m a big fan of meld, but while typing this I realize from the community you’re probably looking for android apps?
Have you ever waited in line for an order, with a ticket, and it seemed like you got skipped? I assume that was a coincidence, and probably your order just took a little longer, or the ticket numbers aren’t in order anyway. This comic jokes that it’s intentional to spite you.
Years ago I was in a consulting company that had a tld ending in .consulting
So many websites didn’t allow that because of shitty email verification rules that assume outdated tlds…
