It would have to throw out something racist about the Irish and potatoes also.

I just fake it .. forever (there is no "make it"). I watch and try and adapt, and try and limit my interaction with people that are not people I don't feel like I can blend with, like social camouflage.

Most important, and why I hit the reply to begin with is, you are not alone! Not sure where you live, but I'm the US (at least for now) HR or whoever can't legally put your medical/mental health info on full blast to everyone you work with.

You could already do this for years through the "Files" app, just select the file/files and under the 3 dots "send to safe folder". And it gets encrypted with a key on your device and if it corrupts or you try to open them on a new phone they wipe and are gone forever.

Google Safe Folder

Obviously more testing is required! I used to walk to school up hill both ways and got the switch if I complained! Kids just don't want to learn anymore! /s

Also I remember how much it sucked in a building w/out AC, so with these new spring/fall heat waves I'd be dead. Lucky in the US we have a party undoing education for the mid-class/poor so that only the rich that do fuck all will get an education. Part of their "keep the work force dumb and working" agenda.

Trump just wants his "Trump Gaza Riviera" resort, and he's not going to get it if Israel actually stops killing/displacing the people that live there.

Canada should call his bluff, and let him lose our top trade partner. If everyone had just come to a mutual agreement to call him on his shit either 1) he would have reversed and dropped this whole tarrif/trade nonsense by now OR 2) he would have absolutely cratered our economy and maybe even his base would see the light.

Campaigns like this have always been effective. And this is what the Right does, they complain en masse about everything that offends their hypocritical views. They are the ones that believe 110% in "cancel culture", and then turn around and call the Left out when we block Nazis.

Also, MC and Visa are well within their rights to tell groups like this to go pound rocks, but groups like this also know if they grind down resources they usually win. The only way to prevent it is to ban the protesting of corporations, but then when they do the bad shit they love to do we'll be without any recourse. It's a bit of a double-edge sword.

So the part that I see repeatedly missed is that a "no porn think of the children" group out of AUS has been hammering these payment processors as part of a new campaign. It's not something Visa, or MasterCard just decided to take the "high ground" on, they have been hounded.

So really if everyone wants erotic games back on Steam and other things affected by this group someone is going to need to create a counter campaign.

If you actually want to fuss with it you could always try some of the stuff from the Holy Wiki and see if it makes a difference. Sometimes it's just "gremlins" though.

I ironically had a similar issue with moving to Wayland from X. I did everything I saw documented to make it work and it just either flat out didn't, or performance was ass. Then I think when I had read about Gnome's future plans to drop X I figured I needed to give it another go. In the end I'm not sure what made the difference (update/config/etc.), but I'm using Wayland now and performance seems the same/better and all is good. My install is also probably close to a decade old (or more - I have moved it between at least 3 disks) at this point so I also have cruft out the ass lol.

Edit - Got curious and decided to look and this install is dated 2013-02-24, so longer than I thought.

Yeah, nothing screams shady or coverup looking like sending your previous personal attorney to "interrogate" the one person that could implicate or exonerate you. And then feed her 100 names (of likely political rivals) and continue to publicly float the idea that you have the power to pardon them, "just because".

Edit - IANAL but I feel like the tactic is to make it impossible to use any further "testimony" from her after knowingly sending Trump's personal lawyer to feed her names. He's made it so now, no matter what she says, neither side will believe she is saying it of her own free will. The only way to believe anything she says would be to find it in her or Epstein's previous testimony.

I boot to login in probably under 5 seconds, so 30+ seconds seems like something is not configured correctly. And every Windows machine I've ever interacted with boots slow and updates even slower.

I feel like this is just like systemd, those that want to stick to the old ways are very vocal but are a very small minority.

Edit - Sometimes I want to erase spell checks 1's and 0's.
