Goddamn, I was sure I ate the onion on this one.

This is probably the best possible outcome.

Do. Not. Go.

As much as your son wants you to go, as others have said, you’d be giving him some very messed up ideas on how relationships work, and there are waaaasay too many chances of something happening and causing unforeseen problems.

I would explain that you’d like to go to spend time with him, but you’re not in a place where that is a healthy decision to make and for the sake of your mental health and continued healthy relationships all around it’s best for you not to join. It will hurt both of you emotionally, but it’s probably the best long term choice. If necessary, you can throw in a ‘next time gadget son’ in there to show this isn’t how it always will be.

It literally keeps every single conversation you’ve ever had in a big long list on the left,

Not all of them, actually. I regularly have to use the search function to find chats/groups I haven’t used in a bit. The most organization you can do is the dozen pinned threads they let you have.

My CISO has all but said he’s going to prevent any auto-rollout of that shit because it breaks decades of user training and TRUNCATES THE FRONT OF THE URL, NOT THE BACK LIKE ANY SENSIBLE APPLICATION.

Like, let’s make it so Steve in accounting can’t see that the login link he wants to click is actually haxxor.com instead of bank.com, makes perfect fucking sense.

Try a user agent switcher, might be enough to make them fuck off and let you play.

This may be a silly question, but as far as online games that work, it shouldn’t matter if my friends are on Windows, right?

It shouldn’t matter, Linux and Windows and Mac are all compatible ‘PC’ platforms. As long as the game is supported/runs, you should be good.

If you’re concerned about reinstalling, grab another drive and swap it. You’ll be able to play to your heart’s content and still swap back at a moments notice if you need your windows install again.

Tools like restic and Borg and so critical that you will regret not having had them sooner.

I just experienced this when a little mini PC I bought <2y ago cooked its nvme and died this month. Guess who has been meaning to set up backups on that guy for months?

Unfortunately, that nvme is D. E. D. And even more unfortunately, that had a few critical systems for the local network (like my network controller/DHCP). Thankfully it was mostly docker containers so the services came up pretty easy, but I lost my DBs so configs and data need to be replicated :(

The first task on the new box was figuring out and automating borg so this doesn’t happen again. I also set up backups via my new proxmox server, so my VMs won’t have that problem too.

Now to do the whole ‘actually testing the backups’ thing.

Same, I got instance banned for ‘drive by downvoting’ and told to ‘clean up my feed’ because I dared browse all and vote on posts.

It’s funny, switch the roles and you’ll have a situation that actually happens outside of shower conversations.

Trolls gonna troll.

Git gud.

Ah, you’re just a really lazy troll. Got it.

It isn’t directly, it’s aimed at your specious claim that it’s foreign wars, not them being actual, factual traitors to the country is why they’re being called traitors.

If republicans didn’t hold the whole process hostage, they’d be legally traitors instead of it just being obvious to anyone with a working brain.

January 6th never happen in your world?

That is a fact that seems so believable that it’s unbelievable. But it’s also true!
