  • I’ve got a stubborn father. Years ago, back when our old family computer was working and was something we actually used, all I wanted to do was remove a simple toolbar from the single web browser we all used that might have been caused by a virus (probably caused by me being dumb) and uninstall something that caused it (also probably caused by my idiocy). This was around 2019.

    The problem was my parents didn’t want me on it all night so they had something like an admin password, but I figured it out long before this because they wrote it down in a notebook. The other problem is they didn’t know I knew the password, so I didn’t wanna let them know I knew it. Also, with the computer being in the living room, I couldn’t just fix this at any point because my parents (at least one of them) were usually in the living room at any given time besides at night.

    In the end, it pretty much devolved into me telling my father that I’m just trying to remove something that could actively harm our PC, but he refused to let me do it. Don’t know if it was because he didn’t wanna type the password or what, but it was a short shit show… until he finally relented and for a measly few seconds he had to enter a password instead of spending minutes fighting me on this.


  • I’m lucky enough to have an outlook account with a much more professional address than any of my other email addresses, not including than my secondary protonmail account. But I’m definitely gonna have to close that outlook account due to security reasons and get a new one (for professional stuff since I doubt anyone would accept anything other than gmail or outlook where I live).

    Ain’t now way anyone is gonna say my gmail account (just used for yt because I like commenting on certain videos) saying I’m a fan of a long since dead yt channel is very professional. My outlook account at least was/is more professional as it is nothing but a few letters that don’t spell anything.

    To be fair, I’d rather abandoned early access games have a warning rather than be flat out unsellable. In an ideal world in my opinion, any abandoned early access game on Steam would be either be set as a free to play game or be marked down to a ridiculously low price like 99¢ rather than being outright unsellable.

    I would get it if the publisher and/or developers decided to remove a game, make it real cheap, or outright make it free to play. Letting Steam decide what happens? Maybe as a last resort sort of thing where they send something like an email saying that if they don’t do substantial updates and/or reply back, their product will be made free to play or marked at a heavily reduced price.

    Arch, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Lindows (the one that was getting sued by macrohard in the past), Mocachino (not added to DW yet but is on their list of ones needing approval or something/LFS based distro), MX Linux, Sparky, Mint, Gentoo, and Fedora were the first ones that popped into my head almost immediately.
