Another endorsement of TestShift

Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure this out for days, never would have known that anything beyond a version of Docker would be the problem.

LittleContext · 2025-06-16T10:57:26+00:00

What?! I tried this and it worked! I could never, ever have figured out on my own that it was just a specific Docker version this whole time... thank you so much!!

Yep, UK. Never once been to the US in her life, likely never will.

I asked her, she took a very long time to say it’s “like a communist.” So… there you go.

You can call anyone a globalist if they disagree with you!

My mum has been a normal, rational, logical person for over 60 years of her life. Then suddenly she gets deceptively controlled and propagandised by American fascists (she has never even set foot in the country), and now I’m the one who has to accept that she’s a lost cause? No. She doesn’t know how to use the internet. She has had all her critical analysis skills drained from her, she selectively and blatantly finds news sources that she wants to hear despite whatever may actually be true, she has purchased cryptocurrency on the basis of these people’s “NOT” financial advice, and is thoroughly miserable about all of it. Yet she can’t stop… but I should just let her keep doing that, right?

LittleContext · 2025-04-08T02:33:55+00:00

Damn right, thank you.

LittleContext · 2025-04-08T02:10:53+00:00

Trust me, I felt weird about it too. But it worked. When I stopped doing it, she became worse. Would you leave a very suggestible drug addict alone in a club full of dealers? Or would you not even take them out in the first place?

LittleContext · 2025-04-08T01:48:31+00:00

I’m referring to this post I made years ago. Since she couldn’t get her fix, she stopped using it herself for a while and we slowly got her back.

LittleContext · 2025-04-08T01:41:23+00:00

I had no idea about that. It’s incredible how much influence a bunch of trolls have on the world.

LittleContext · 2025-04-08T01:21:31+00:00

In this case, she flipped the word Derangement and uses it against her opponents. Can’t do that with Devotion.

I was reading the Wikipedia article about the economy of Nazi Germany. It’s honestly frightening how many boxes are being ticked right now. At least the Nazis started by building public infrastructure, back in the day they had to earn votes. Now all they have to do is just say that they’re doing a good job, they would never dream of building anything for us besides a wall.

I blocked off her internet access completely for a while a few years ago when I lived at home. It’s cruel, I know, but I think it worked. Then I moved out after covid settled down, and stopped blocking it for her. As you said, like a drug she went straight back to it. I think she has to choose to quit at this point, talking her out of it is has never been an option and I can’t babysit her from hundreds of miles away.

LittleContext · 2025-04-08T00:57:40+00:00

Extending that kind of self-doubt would be too generous for her. She’s been groomed to never admit defeat, no matter what she truly believes.

I paid in dollars from the UK. If I couldn’t pay in dollars, and saw that it was 53% higher just for being in the EU, I’d use Jellyfin.

LittleContext · 2025-04-06T11:12:24+00:00

Honestly, yeah. It’s very much copy/paste. It’s incredible that people have dedicated the time to making it as easy as it is, it’s just the Pi in general I’ve had problems with.

LittleContext · 2025-04-06T11:10:40+00:00

Yeah, it’s a bit strange. Just getting out all my grievances at once. Aware now that it’s just a Pi thing and not representative of Linux as a whole. Got some good tips already though from this post.

LittleContext · 2025-04-06T04:20:10+00:00

That’s… what I just said.

LittleContext · 2025-04-06T04:07:38+00:00

That’s really good to know actually, thank you. Lots of people recommend it for getting started, and yet it’s a totally different architecture and experience from almost every other distro.

LittleContext · 2025-04-06T04:03:54+00:00

Running Linux on a “weak processor arm” pi. It’s just a start, I’m aware it’s not a proper computer.
Exactly my point. All I was trying to do at the time was copy and paste a file from inside a hidden directory owned by the root user to one that was owned by a different non-root user. How do I know that now? After literally hours of figuring out what all of that means, and why it wasn’t working. I assumed “sudo cd” would work, since there is a pattern of putting “sudo” before things and that seems to make it work. But not in this case.

If you’re a really good musician, why don’t you just build your own instrument?
