No dice, I have open/tab/window, properties, and unmount.

Well that sounds like solutions, but I’m gonna scratch my head about the whole thing you just said for a bit tbh.

Well I just thought it was neat I could screen record but whatevs, screenshots will probably get it done with a bit of explanation.

Image 1: File manager open, preparing to mount devices.

Image 2: Devices mounted, preparing to open filesystem on first device.

Image 3: Attempted to open filesystem on first device, met with access denied.

Image 4: Bypassed access denied, appended storage/emulated/0 to filesystem mount point(? i think im saying that right), filesystem now accessible.

Use Your Imagination 1: Opened filesystem on device 2, bypassed access denied, appended system/emulated/0 again, able to access filesystem.

Use Your Imagination 2: Attempted to open filesystem on device 1 again, access denied again, appended system/emulated/0 again, able to access file system again.

Ad Nauseum every time I want to access the filesystem on these devices remotely. It might actually be faster to just email myself the files. Probably less frustrating, too.

Does that explain it? You can also see how it would be easy to mix up which device I’m browsing because they are both called some random jumbled numbers with similar android file names instead of “phone” and “tablet” or something human like that

Probably? what do you suggest

Apparently I have a native ability to record videos of my screen on linux, which is very neat and I’m going to take advantage of it now.

I had originally typed up a couple paragraphs explaining, but I don’t think it’s as clear as this video. The 3rd IP/mount point being selected and resulting in a loading mouse icon is an example of unexplained disconnect. Hope that explains your question. Frankly that stack exchange page confuses and scares me.

You can see how it would be annoying to type ctrl+l storage/emulated/0 every single time you want to transfer a file from device to device, especially when you can’t tell the difference between devices at a glance.

Hey yo, can someone with image editing skills turn that thumbnail of sad miller into a sad clown please?

Shocked?

We’re past blasting, so 2018. Now we’re on flaying.

Of course you would, probably at least the first two or three times, that’s why they’re on this trend.

Slam not getting enough clicks anymore, people know “slam” means “gentle rebuke.” Now it’s flay, pillory. At this rate, some time in 2028 we can expect “mild procedural admonition” to be replaced with something like “set off nuclear munitions over home of,” eg. “Judge Obliterates Defendant’s Entire Hometown With a White Phosphor Bomb in Searing Ruling Over Unpaid Parking Fines.” gotta get them clicks

A law without a mechanism of enforcement is just a suggestion.

Oh, I see now. I put it in the thumbnail url by accident, so I didn’t understand why it wasn’t coming up as a link.

wasnt it in the post title?

chatgpt favored a few articles in its training data that used “its not x – its y” more than others. it was sheer accident and coincidence to begin with, but is now being cemented into the language by chatgpt’s relative ubiquity and a feedback mechanism where new training data contains this artifact, increasing its favorability in subsequent models. I’m not saying that the phrase didn’t exist before chatgpt. it’s not a seismic shift in language patterns – It’s a feedback mechanism. The same feedback mechanism causes it to prefer “it’s not” vs “it isn’t” despite there being no grammatical distinction between them. “It’s not” was presumably slightly more popular among the training data it (or rather, its trainers) happened to favor during initial training. The same feedback mechanism causes it to write metaphor like a bored, not-particularly-bright college student in a poetry class they’re taking just for the credit.

edit: shibboleth

more edits: everything after “it’s not a seismic shift in language patterns – it’s a feedback mechanism”

Woe unto them. They sound like ChatGPT now.

I think I need antidepressants after reading that.

I saw that and assumed it was an onion headline…
