I don't think they were gifts.

They were daily threats.

I don’t know the specifics but I’d maybe want to take that dude out before they start killing innocent people.

Ah so you're just like the security guard who killed a innocent dad.

I honestly didn't play any non-RPGs on the PC until a couple of years ago.

I finally tried Commander Keen after it was compared to Nintendo Super Mario Bros 3.

It did not age like Super Mario Bros 3. At all.

I think the root issue is still real:

  1. Person buys a gift card from a brick-and-mortar store
  2. Apple says its fraud
  3. Locks account and refuses to elaborate

but I'm learning that a LOT of people are either / or with phones and computers;

My knee jerk reaction was to say something smart ass like "well they should get a computer" but you're absolutely right.

The customer service woman I talked to was surprised I could talk to her and browse the internet (on a laptop). She told me most people use their phone for everything. I met college kids who were typing their papers on their phones. My mom never owned a computer until I gave her one, and she leaves it in the corner "for emergencies".

I have no answer. People will continue uploading their lives into Google photos, Facebook galleries, whatever - with no backup, and hope those companies store their data. I think the average person is fucked.

The Terraria dev who had his Google account locked out because of whatever bullshit.

Don't ever put anything secure/critical in places that aren't yours.

I would wear them if I could. Unfortunately, to wear the heart ones would mean I can't wear sweet ninja turtles/sonic/Mario boxers.

I'm getting into meshtastic and learned how those esp32 devices are everywhere! They seem pretty neat

I stay away from all the micro tech drama and I feel like two years ago, that community was bitching that raspberry pi sold out and everyone should switch to arduino.

I don't have a side. I just pick whatever is easiest to make a emulation station.

And this is America right now:

I have slept in a car during college for months. I was spending $700/month for a bed in a shared bedroom, when I mostly was working or attending classes.

With Republicans combined attack against Font faces and Numbers, they will truly make America Great again.
