Curious, boring, unimaginative

@vwbusguy I recently changed my laptop from Fedora WS to Silverblue and noticed that the data copy speed (copying back music/ pictures) is much faster on Silverblue than on WS (took less than 1 hour for what usually took 4+ hours).
Wonder what could be the reason.

@vwbusguy have you been able to play videos on Facebook using #Silverblue ? Curious to know tried installing ffmpeg/ ffmpeg-devel does not seem to work. Youtube works fine though. Did not see much about this issue (in Google search results)..
Although it is nothing critical, but.. 🙂

I hate to admit this but our feelings on certain things really do change as we get older. 10 years ago, I would have preferred to get a new video game instead of an engagement ring but now that I'm older, I would prefer to get a domesticated raccoon instead of an engagement ring.
