gollark: I also have a bunch of text processing scripts for annoying people on Discord ||b||||y|| ||d||||o||||i||||n||||g|| ||t||||h||||i||||s||||.||.

gollark: For example, converting a directory of videos to a different format with `ffmpeg` or something.

gollark: Scripting capability is useful for doing random stuff a lot of times, or in bulk, and I do that occasionally.

gollark: If you *do* have to work with non-Linux stuff it probably isn't worth it.

gollark: I mean, I have a more streamlined workflow thanks to Linux permitting useful scripting and whatnot. But as a programming hobbyist only I have control of what stuff I work with and can say "not using this, it's Windows-only/inconvenient".
