Seems like someone felt really threatened by some boxes with a handful of words in them. It must suck to be that fragile.

I usually call them boards when I can't remember the name "community". There are lots of kinds of community. An instance might well be a community if you are browsing local. Board is shorter and my brain wants to use that word anyway.

I'm certain that video probably got a lot of likes from folks who didn't get the irony which is probably why the algorithm associated you watching it with that crowd. (Also I'm really sus about the whole "joking about being a hateful prick" industry, but I'll assume your assessment is spot on here.)

I would've upgraded to 11, but either my computer doesn't support TPM or I just refused to turn it on. So instead I upgraded to Ubuntu. There are probably better distros but I had a limited about of time to fuck around trying them.

Mint is pretty nice, too. It felt familiar, as a windows user. But I kept installing stuff that broke the updater. So I switched and found it's me, not the updater, and I just need to do apt update/upgrade and dpkg -i regardless, but anyway now I'm on Ubuntu.

I still have my full windows install on an SSD somewhere if I had an emergency, but I haven't had any such emergency in about a year.

I should've known just based on the insanity of that rate, but I think there are places in Florida that are that much or even more, so I guess that's where my head was.

~~$2100 a month for insurance? That might be more than my whole house payment. Paid pretty much nothing down on 175k in very late 2018 - house is apparently worth 350k now, but we're trapped because I can't/won't afford to move. I'm 85 miles from the office, but I WFH and it looks like I might have to go in about once a year.~~

Well that's what I get for not wearing my glasses...
