Protip: Don't watch the documentary "Praying for Armageddon"...

Not where I work. My thinkpad is managed by the understaffed IT department, and is severely crippled by clownstrike and other garbage and bloatware. Linux is not allowed, only windows.

But my colleagues who chose a MacBook don't have all that crap because said IT department haven't figured out how to remotely manage Macs yet...

I suggest changing it slightly to POTUSITO - President of the United States In Title Only.

Has the added bonus of -ito being a diminutive suffix in Spanish, and probably many related languages, so afaik one could read it as "little POTUS" 😁

Reminds me of my Polish colleague who once arrived at the office and said: "I would say good morning. But it's not a good morning. "

The previous night our manager had taken the team out for dinner and drinks, paid for by the company. It wasn't a good morning for any of us 😁

Nice! I also do this, but don't think I've ever gotten to 12. 8 or 9 is probably my record.

Edit: managed a 10 today 🙂

Both of these "parents" were arrested and convicted for child abuse.

DaddyOFive was horrible, and straight up abuse. I was there when it was exposed by some big youtuber and then the story took off on reddit. It was very disturbing, and even more so to know that hundreds of thousands of people subscribed to the channel and thought it was funny entertainment... Thankfully the parents were arrested, and the children got help, but my faith in humanity got permanently damaged during those days.

From skimming the description on Wikipedia I'm glad I've never seen anything from that other channel.

A while ago he offered to donate something like $100 million to Wikipedia if they changed their name to dickipedia...

You could try to use Kodi as the client / player / media center, with the jellyfin addon (and kodi-sync-something plugin on the jellyfin server side). It works great for me, plays pretty much everything, subtitles are very rarely a problem. Not everyone likes the Kodi UI, but I love it. There's many skins available, and you can really customize it if you spend some time with it. I run Kodi on my nvidia shield connected to my TV, but in the past I have also ran it on a raspberry pi 3 with very few problems.
