Yeah Gmail is the hardest. Just for the sheer amount of logins. Been with it was an invite only beta in like 2005. I got a paid proton account but it's hard to shake it because I'm constantly needing to log back in with it.

I'm flirty, thankful and sometimes say stuff I regret the next day (usually dumb jokes). Pretty good overall.

You did a good thing! alcohol can lower the shields for good or ill. Sometimes it can allow the facade we all carry about different aspects of our perceived selves to fall away and we can truly see what we need to do.

My poor wife if she gets too drunk just cries and cries. She has had such terrible loss in her family her entire life and when she drinks way too much she just sobs almost uncontrollably. It's terrible. Because she remembers her brother, her dad, her grandpa, all gone tragically. She hasnt done that in a few years because we are getting older and drunk stupidly less but it was a thing for awhile.

Alcohol is weird man.

Fwiw I use a VPN on debrid because I don't trust it otherwise.

I personally like nano but it's what I used first. So I learned the commands. Vim I still forget Everytime.

I am generally uninformed on this conflict beyond reading a a synopsis or history for the pass century or so this week, the agenda on either side seems pretty blatant from the media outlets. Now I haven't seen Israeli media directly but seeing what us centric media is reporting My god, I watched fox news and they were basically foaming at the mouth and showing the same clips and had a woman that would say the same thing every few hours trying to dehumanize the other side. I watched al Jazeera last night for a few hours and they frame the attack on Saturday as a counter attack (forever recursively correct) overlook what happened as much as possible and frame context to give it a morality pass and generally are trying to downplay how western media is reporting it.. I took a look at who owns al Jazeera, it's state run media from Qatar. We all know foxnews is basically ultra conservatives circle jerk. It's two sides slinging shit. However, al Jazeera seems to point out the lack of Israeli media allowing any western reporting of what's really happening in gaza which I 100% agree with. It's good to get perspective on either sides but to me both western and Arab centric outlets are obviously pushing their agendas.

I acknowledge my ignorance on the complexities on this issue and am only providing my take as someone trying to understand this issue from the woefully biased reporting surrounding this issue.

I think it's unique that we see more different sides and not just a US echo chamber that reddit was. However some communities of all spectrums have their idiots and communities that brigade stuff are very annoying. The idea that these communities exist is not the problem. I just block what I don't want to see. I am ready for the block instance by user feature. I have to play wack a mole right now.

That's it, I want a klingon counselor on lower decks.

I'm in the honeymoon stage but I've left win 11 behind earlier this week. Jump full into it I am loving pop_os... the tiling feature is a refreshing thing I didn't know I needed. I'm hooked to it already. Flatpak is something else new for me that I'm really enjoying the thought of. Really like all the seamlessness of the virtual desktops too. Pop calls them workspaces. I can send windows to another workspace. Keep selectef ones on all workspaces. I'm a devops that has been using wsl for anything I needed Linux locally for since it came out. Now that I know how to interact with Linux and my remaining Windows infrastructure at work (primarily Ad) I am full into it. The only game I've spun up on it so far was cyberpunk 2077 and it runs great on it. Got Plex going, virtual machines, docker/podman, the foss possibilities are awesome. Really enjoying freetube right now too.

I like that episode actually... Lol.

I bought one too, I think for $75 pre-lauch. Very underwhelming interface... it's barely usable. I think they discontinued them already.

I use connectbot too and it is sub optimal but works for me... I only use it in emergencies. If I had any sort of regular use id want something else so following.
