Wait, Australia, the place notorious for dangerous critters, made small, public enclosed spaces...Without doors? 😂 I'm guessing these were mainly in cities, so maybe the critter problem wasn't as much of a concern, but I love the image this produces of an Aussie going to make a call and some snake or spider is sitting there around the phone.

Thanks! Fwiw in this context I'm thinking of the outdoor, completely(?) enclosed type of booths, but your reply includes those as well I gather.

What about a traveling circus? Bonuses: it's mobile, it's a circus by design, it's inclusive, and goofing around is just part of the culture!

Doesn't Google Photos produce something similar from stored photos? I don't use it much myself, as I don't take many photos, but I've used it to view screenshots & such on my phone & I seem to recall something like that.

If so, would definitely be an option to avoid posting while producing a similar yearbook/photo album.

Not that I use it or am fond of it, but wouldn't Telegram be more of a middle ground in this context?

It's not big corporate (Meta), nor smaller nonprofit or decentralized/self-hosted (Signal/Matrix~Element), and is a business offering a messaging app with encryption options one may enable as desired.

I agree that you shouldn’t force anyone in to a solution they don’t want to use

Yeah...Person you're replying to is saying, "Cope and be normal?" but also: the others are essentially trying to force/peer pressure OP/source of the image into a solution they don't want to use. How is it that pushing people to do/use whatever's "normal" is so acceptable compared to asking them to meet on more comfortable terms?

If I saw that, I'd have to ask at least one of them, why? Such an odd choice given that's not its main use case, but I'm guessing the answers would be something along the lines of, "Why not?" & "It's what my friends are on."

This can be true. Part of the reason I ask is that as more data is visual in nature, it seems like it might make it more difficult to manage strictly via CLI, especially since metadata is likely to be lacking in description and even with a descriptive filename and details, it's a picture/video for a reason.

I'm sure there are existing arrangements to handle that though, like web GUIs for any visual media review as needed.

How much effort is ‘run command with parameter’ documentation [...]

Tbh it's less so the effort and moreso, how understandable is the documentation? A good GUI has the benefit of visual design explaining without words what may take a lot of documentation that may or may not be easily understood depending on the writer, which in many technical situations is someone deep in the jargon that has forgotten the way back to more accessible language.

Once you're familiar with the commands, no doubt as many others have said it's more efficient (especially once you're knowledgeable enough to write scripts for frequent sets of commands), but there is a learning curve at play as one muddles through documentation in a similar way to an unfamiliar GUI.

Oh, to clarify, when I said my own music, I meant my local files. I'm a weirdo that buys music & syncs it across devices.

That said, I did a little searching after asking this and found a cool little site called Radio.garden that helps find some radio stations around you, and found some cool stations I might give more of a listen to.

Under a rock question here, but do you know of any sites that map out radio stations so you can preview them or note them to check out when traveling about?

I mostly listen to my own music when traveling because I don't know any radio stations that might click with me, and don't really feel like or sometimes have the time to scan for them.

I still have no clue what's up with the holy trinity tbh 🤨

I chalk it up to, "well, glad i'm not christian" and leave it at that as much as I can.
