No offense but as I mentioned previously, I downloaded handbrake and it did not work because it does not function like those websites.
the command line is only scary because digital illiteracy is taught to us the second we are presented with the windows/macos login screen
The command line is not “scary”, it just requires specialized knowledge. If I’m presented with a GUI I don’t need any specialized knowledge, I just look at the available options and click the ones I need. In the command line I’m not presented with a fuckin thing except a black box and text field, and when I spend my time searching the web for commands and then type them in, they return a generic error with no diagnostic information and I waste hours trying to figure it out.
I’m telling you this is not for lack of trying. Im not helpless, I literally just don’t have time to acquire this breadth of specialty knowledge. I already have multiple jobs. When I need plumbing work, I don’t spend 40 hours learning to become a half-assed plumber and cross my fingers that I don’t fuck it up and destroy my house, I hire a specialist who knows how to do it right and I spend my time doing my profession to make back the money that I paid them.
I’m simply not wasting my time anymore chasing this stuff that people that lack self-awareness repeatedly declare is “easy”.
