Hey no problem! And I didn’t mean anything by it; my reply could have been read with snark included, and I definitely didn’t intend it. Good on you for taking breaks when you need to. You’re good people, and the world needs more of you.

Before they shut down the APIs, I deleted all my posts and edited all my comments.

Spez doesn’t get to profit from me anymore. And hopefully I’m poisoning the well.

Why is the default setting to enable remote administration?

You shall not think of living things in hierarchical order (x is better than y)

Having to choose between my child and my dog would be a horrible choice to have to make, but I know exactly how I would make it.

But isn’t Microsoft just so evil for making it so their operating system doesn’t function flawlessly on twenty year old hardware?

“In Ryanggang Province, if you only sleep at a private inn, the cost of lodging is 4,000 won (47 cents),” she said. “If you include a bottle of alcohol and a meal, the cost is 15,000 won ($1.78).”

Weird hill to die on in the context of a shitposting forum.
