The problem is, people who I probably agree with politically, are hugely susceptible to believing any old nonsense as long as it is delivered as a screenshot which stokes rage against "the baddies".
When I point out that it can be debunked in 5 seconds, that apparently makes me complicit in [insert thing they're angry about].
Does anyone know of an easy way to use a computer as an automatic backup for a phone?
My mom has an android phone and takes lots and lots of photos, which have filled up her google storage to the point she can't send emails anymore.
I went over there last night and backed up a bunch of her photos to flash drives and deleted a ton of stuff from her google photos account to free up space.
But I had to turn off the auto backup in her phone so it wouldn't just fill her account up again.
She is worried about having her photos not backed up, so I'm wondering if there's a simple option for backing things up at home.
She is not very tech savvy, so it cannot be anything complicated.
@MLE_online Big syncthing fan here, but if it's affordable then for the price of half a cup of coffee each month I'd just buy 100GB Google Drive storage. Even if it just buys you time to come up with the perfect setup.
@Edent can you split up the job using gdal_translate (these could be parallelised) and remerge them using gdal_merge or gdal virtual layers? https://gdal.org/programs/index.html
apols for any egg-sucking, just trying to be helpful.
I feel like the next time someone says the word ‘Oriental’ I’m going to start referring to French and Italian food as Occidental food. Let’s go to the Occidental restaurant. Let’s get Occidental burgers
@skinnylatte@yaohsi Just Eat consider Oriental a valid takeaway food category. Mind you, their image of what European food is leads me to think they're not an authority on this sort of thing...

My doctor told me that sitting at a desk all day was slowly killing me. So I purchased a standing desk adapter. Then my doctor said I ought to take better care of my feet. So I purchased a massaging foot mat to go with my standing desk. Now my doctor says that I need […]
@Edent Depends on where you live perhaps - sadly still not the case for my GP surgery, nor the one where my wife works (where you must phone, on the day, at exactly 8am - you can only imagine the hilarious results of that policy).
@Edent I guess not, only because it feels like 'following' is something my account would know about, but 'being blocked by' is something my account shouldn't know about? (and porting is 'creating a new account and copying the things I know about the old account to the new one?)
>This is a question I often ask my students. Typically they say a robot looks like this: Or this: Broadly human, but mostly metal. Occasionally, I get non anthropocentric answers like this mule: Or even something stark and industrial like this: One is experimental, the other is rarely seen in day-to-day life. The truth is, [...]
@Edent Hard agree - I talk about my clothes washing robot, bread making robot. But we only seem to mildly anthropomorphise (naming and talking to) the moving ones (vacuum and lawnmower).
