AITA for automating the process of texting all my contacts to wish them happy birthday?

Realizing that I don’t have an inner monologue, I have talking to myself, internal or external.

When you have thoughts on something and want to explore them with a blog post, but you don’t have a blog…

What bullshit to live through progress, to feel it, only to have it clawed away by reactionary pushback.

My feed feels much nicer after muting one of the bigger mastodon pundits.

Anybody have a preferred way to deduplicate files in Linux? For context, what I’m working with is ~2TB of backups from external drives with the largely the same set of users. I would not trust that identical names are identical files, and I’m sure that identical files live under multiple names. Lots of pictures, some music, etc., and the desired end state is reclaiming space and making the directory structure more usable without losing information from the current directory structure. For the pictures, maybe that means adding EXIF tags that contain the current path, then consolidating EXIF data from identical files, then a second path through something that can pick up duplicates of e.g. different resolutions? Or is my best path creating a working copy of everything and trying to manually rearrange it one bite at a time?
