I hit the same wall with Dvorak layout.

Make a file named just a bunch of spaces with double quotes around them. It's made confusing because of the 4 double quotes, two are escaped by the backslashes immediately before them.

Grandma adopted a puppy when I was probably 8 or 9. It got parvo. I remember going to her house and asking where the puppy was. She told me that he was sick, so he had to stay outside and I couldn't go outside for the same reason. When I would ask where the puppy is, she would tell me that he's on the side of the house where I couldn't see him. This went on for a long time, I never saw the puppy again and eventually forgot about it entirely.

A decade or two later I found out that my grandma had spent thousands of dollars trying to keep that puppy alive, but parvo took it anyways. She was very upset about it's passing and instead of having me go through it too, she lied to me about it until I completely forgot about it.

Yeah, I'm not installing DRM to watch anything on any service. I'll pirate, thanks very much.

You sound like my buddies 10yo daughter when she hops online to play games with us. "Everything is not fair, I want it to magically change without my intervention and I don't want to do anything about it or be told to take action or take advice that is given."

Just download a copy. Someone already did the leg work and probably did a better job than you could, without serious effort.

I don't listen to cultists...or their leaders.

Ah, yes, not 100% of the time. You know, like Windows. Thanks for the laugh.

I agree. I am a techie, have been following Lemmy for quite a while before the Reddit exodus. When I made my account, first I had to understand that each instance manages its own accounts and there are many instances. My initial thought was to look for one of the higher population instances, but I read that this was not necessarily the best idea. Then I searched out why its better to pick an instance outside the high population ones and that whatever instance I picked, I could view/comment/vote on posts from other instances. I don't have a problem doing research, but I don't know anyone who is not a techie that would continue past my first question, and that is a serious problem for adoption.

Hmm. The McDonalds in my town had a small fire in the kitchen in 2020. It has been surrounded by "Reopening soon" signs since then. Color me sceptical.
