I encrypt everything, with unique complex passwords, that I have a safe mnemonic system for remembering and retrieving.

Even if so, they may see that as a plus. Twitter survived the massive cutting / culture change that Elon brought to it (as a gross little shadow of it's formal self, but the vultures don't care).

I was once a Facebook using programmer guy like you, then I ~~took an arrow to the knee~~ did some work for Meta and got a close up and personal look at their internal culture. It beyond pissed me off and creeped me out. I just couldn't.

Now, people have to text me to invite me to events and parties and stuff. I don't know what's going on with major chunks of my friends group half the time. I have to get my news and gossip the old fashioned way.

Before my Meta subcontractor experience, I spoke like you. But after, I don't even miss it. Thinking about logging on to Facebook is like fingernails on a chalk board.

LinkedIn is a crime against humanity.

Come Mr. Spock, and bring McCoy,

We're gonna beam down to enjoy,

Some contact with, a brand new world,

Oh look at all these alien girls...

Hello, hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello, hello...

Well they don't look, very dangerous!

Here we are now! Educate us!

We made out but, then they caged us!

She's an android. She betrayed us!

It's Apollo? A mugato! Gary Mitchel! Here's a tribble!

Hey!

My favorite ever SO experience was this time I found a dude who had had my exact problem four years earlier. The thread was the only google result for the error message I was getting that wasn't just random pasted log files, etc.

Two people who had no idea how to fix it gave him some useless suggestions, then crickets.

9 months later, he had come back and posted

I solved my problem!

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=5M

I wish I'd saved the link.

I'm hosting a minio cluster on my brother-in-law's old gaming computer he spent $5k on in 2012 and 3 five year old mini-pcs with 1tb external drives plugged into them. Works fine.

I think you're going to have more luck with a more right wing, more immature humor, more toxic masculinity kind of crowd.
