Like did you evolve your entire personality around the disturbing characters? Or did you watch them a couple times, quote a few lines here and there?

There is a line and if you are worried people don't like you anymore because of these movies you probably crossed into the former. The movies are not problematic, but unfortunately the way some people get into them is.

To emphasize: This is not automatically your fault because you enjoyed watching a show.

Media is full of things like this and there a few people that take fandom too far. They are characters and we are intended to hate the characters. Should we feel empathy as we watch their journey? Yes but empathy shouldn't forgive the crimes they commit. We can feel a connection to their pain but take the lesson and instead of idolize, try to do better.

9.9.9.10 is not a "canadian version". It's their "Unsecured: No Malware blocking, no DNSSEC validation (for experts only!)" address. See: https://www.quad9.net/service/service-addresses-and-features for more information about their different DNS addresses.

Quad9 is a Swiss non-profit. Check the rest of that page for more information on what they do and what they offer.

CIRA is the government sanctioned registrar overseeing the top level domain ".ca". As a non-profit built for this purpose, they have branched out to both DNS (as discussed here), as well as operating an Internet Speed Test.

Whichever way you go, don't get too hung up on this. Moving away from 8.8.8.8 (or even 1.1.1.1 if anyone uses cloudflares service) is your goal. Even going back to your Canadian ISP's DNS is going to be adequate as well if you just want to replace Google.

And even if ownership wasn't a concern, Opera completely lost me when they let go most of their original developers at around the same time. Vivaldi is the spiritual successor with many original developers. I count that as a win in the ethical direction anyway (even if they still run chromium under the hood as well.)

Fuck guys, I forgot about this. I'm going to write a strongly worded tweet to Jennifer because I bet she forgot she was wrong too!

My understanding is many of their changes were merged back into Freecad for the 1.0 release.

Due to the two piece construction here you would have to wrap this whole thing in sealant to keep water out because (to para-quote Dr. Ian Malcolm) "water uhh finds a way".

Dab of anti-sieze or stainless hardware would be my go to if I wanted to pull this apart after a couple years.

I watch other people play the games. Then when I'm tired I close my eyes and I have a nap. I can wake up, fully rested and maybe get to see the final boss! Or not. Maybe I just go to bed.

Good grief... that sounds awful, like you're at your prime getting into the NHL but your body is just literally made of glass. Hate to see it, but it's good he got it diagnosed before an injury like like paralysis or something.

Grew up with ms-dos. Spent half my career in telnet and ssh consoles.

When I just want to play Balatro at the end of a long day fuck any system that requires more than click click to get me in.

That's why I'm switching to Linux when windows 10 is no longer supported because fuck win 11 and the amount of regedits it's gonna take to get that working.
