This happened to me one time like 15 years ago. I was sitting on a bench and a pay phone next to me started ringing. I picked it up and the local police department was on the other end.
They said they'd gotten a 911 call from this number. I said this was a pay phone and they were like, "Oh. Are there like, any kids or teenagers around?"
I looked around. There was a big group of teenagers maybe 30ft from where I was sitting. "Yep, there's a few nearby."
They said, "It was probably them. But we're gonna send someone by just to make sure everything's okay."
A few minutes later a cop came by and asked if I was the person they spoke to on the phone. "Yep." He looked around and verified there was no emergency and then left.
Probably "The Core" (2003). I saw it in science class in 8th grade and immediately thought it was the coolest movie ever. Years later, I saw people online ripping it to shreds over its inaccuracies, but I still enjoyed it for being a fun disaster film with an enjoyable ensemble cast of characters.
Setting up remote access for Jellyfin felt pretty trivial for me like 2 years ago when switching away from Plex. No hiccups that I can recall whatsoever. Except for maybe the nginx reverse proxy configuration, but the documentation made it decently straightforward, but that step isn't strictly necessary to get remote access working; that was just something I wanted for my particular setup.
And I wouldn't call the Jellyfin UI janky at all. I use it every day and can't think of any common issues I encounter when using it. There surely are quirks with some features, but I find them few and far between. I recall Plex having its own UI quirks back when I used it.
I think the point of the joke is that the yellow character has fundamentally misunderstood the statement provided by the blue character. They erroneously interpret, "All squares have four sides" as "Squares are the only shape with four sides" because they are not good at parsing rigid, scientific statements (since most people are not particularly scientifically literate).
I think OP's comics are meant to reflect the frustrations of conversing with people who simply don't understand what science/research/studies/etc actually say.
GIMP feels like it's still in the stage of being extremely powerful but awkward as heck to wield, like Blender used to be. Blender used to have a pretty unintuitive interface before getting a massive overhaul a few years back. GIMP could use a similar facelift IMO.
I think I was fairly slow before learning home row typing. I just hunt-and-pecked whenever using a keyboard. We got our first computer some time around 1998, so I was introduced to computers a few years prior to taking the typing class.
I took one typing class in 8th grade and became faster than 99% of typists. Can sustain about 145wpm for a typical paragraph of text, but can burst up to 200wpm for shorter, simple bits of text.
Not a particularly marketable superpower in this day and age, but is a fun flex once in a while at the office.
Depends on what you're trying to do with the webcam.
If you just want to take pictures and videos, you can use Cheese.
If you want the webcam to be accessible to other devices on your network so you can view it remotely, you can use Motion (requires a small amount of configuration, but afterward it Just Works)
I revisit his channel every year at Thanksgiving when I need to prepare a turkey. His super simple roasted turkey video has served me well the last 5 or 6 years.
He doesn't really talk in his videos, but I really enjoy watching Philippe Faraut sculpt in clay. Guy has masterful technique.
I recommend Technology Connections to anyone who enjoys learning about how stuff works. I really appreciate the way this guy explains things for laypeople.
SummoningSalt is super interesting if you like learning about speedrunning. My only gripe is that the videos are all really chill, but tend to have clips of people breaking world records and flipping out, like "FUCK YEAAAAAAAHH WOOOOOOO FUCK YEAH LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO FUUUUUUCK" and it can be very jarring, lol. But I do enjoy seeing those clips in the videos.
Grand Illusions is a fun channel where an older British gentleman named Tim presents curiosities, puzzles, toys, and the like.
Honorable mention: while I don't watch many of his videos these days, Smarter Every Day is fantastic STEM content
I managed to inadvertently cure myself of this problem by recording a lot of music in my early 20's. I became accustomed to hearing what my voice actually sounds like and got a lot better at controlling it as a result.
Those first few months of recording were rough though, lol. I hated listening to all of my recordings.
It doesn't exactly unsettle me, but pondering the mind-boggling scale of celestial bodies and the cosmos can certainly be... humbling, I guess?
I had a co-worker a while back who couldn't talk about the great scale of the universe cause he'd get freaked out. It didn't come up much, but when it did, he'd be like, "Please stop, it's stressing me out" so we'd change the subject.
