@odd No, you’re 100 percent correct. Both parties are authoritarian and right of center.

@odd I have been using the MakeMKV application and Handbrake for compression. But it is a labor of love. You have to want it. I dive in and do a bunch of rips on a weekend, but then it might be another week or two before I do more.

@philomath Strongly considering adding the text of your reply into my text subsitutions on Apple devices.

@jemostrom On the one hand, I think iOS is amazing and the hardware is so capable, so I wonder what is taking so long. One the other, I read about app approval horror stories and severe limits on access to APIs and I'm not surprised that developers maybe aren't excited about porting apps

@grubz That reload took longer than I hoped, but back in business on the most current release with all devices working, so far as I know.

@grubz I did a kind of mid-stream jump from Ubuntu to UbuntuStudio. There was some hilarity as I navigated the change to KDE Plasma, but there were also some consistent nags about uninstalled Snaps that wouldn't install. So I thought I'd move to a clean install of Ubuntu Studio. And then I had no audio and no recognized audio devices. So we're going back to straight Ubuntu to start over

@flargh And then the side-eye you get when you protest “I don’t work here”
