and the Mojang to Microsoft account migration for Java made a lot of people lose their accounts entirely.

Hey, it’s me. I contacted support and got a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it.

Then I said said “fuck this shit” and gave up to never play again.

EDIT: You probably guessed, but I should clarify that it was the same list of info, verbatim, each time. Just copy/paste response without reading that I’d already supplied it.

I just enjoy that I can call them “xbone”

This. I go on a solo backpacking trip every year that for some reason coincides with my birthday… Weird how that works out.

I tell everybody as soon as they ask me if I have kids and I live in a very, very conservative area. Fuck em.

Last time I had free time and was looking for a new game someone told me “Get Control. Just get it. Trust me.”

My trust was not misplaced. It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

Edit: Later I tried AW1 and didn’t really care for it much (mostly because i sucked really bad at it) until I started using “all guns” cheats so I could play it like a horror/action. Then I enjoyed it.

Internal RAID1 as first line of defense. Rsync to external drives where at least one is always offsite as second. Rclone to cloud storage for my most important data as the third.

Backups 2 and 3 are manual but I have reminders set and do it about once a month. I don’t accrue much new data that I can’t easily replace so that’s fine for me.

Can I also add nothing? It’ll make me feel important with no consequences.

I’m in this comment and I support it.

Might vary by locale? Around here (South US) it seems like every single store has their own rewards/discount/whatever system that requires your phone number but it’s not necessary for the transaction… It’s just an extra info grab.

Sometimes the user facing POS/credit card reader will let you handle it (enter/skip) but many places rely on the salesperson to ask and then enter it or skip.

But, I also don’t get around much so my experience is limited.

Same.

Cashier: “What’s your phone number?” (For the store tracking/rewards/whatever)

Me : “Don’t have one!” (As I remove the credit card from the case on the back of myphone)

Nobody has questioned it once. They don’t want to ask in the first place but are forced to.

I enjoy the A to C converter on the side that you didn’t explicitly call out. Nice easter egg :D

Remember when small trucks were small? I remember. My 2008 Tacoma (which used to be a small truck) seems about the same size as a 90s model Silverado.

I remember the late 90s Tacomas and S10s. I want them back.

But, I do think we hit critical mass because newer ones seem to be shrinking again… I think.

Damn, got removed from your job by down votes. Sorry, that sucks.

I once had a keyboard with a “Works with Netware!” sticker.

Alas, I can’t find any networking gear that has a “works with Linux” sticker so I’m just out of luck on that “Internet” thing all the kids are talking about.

Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.

This really resonated with me and is an excellent point. I’m going to have to remember that one.

Damn, beat me to it.

I can also recommend this service.

So now can we call them “pole hangers”? “Pole grabbers”? “Pole holders”? If they’re listening to music and swaying in time, perhaps “pole dancers”?

I’m sure there are better terms but I’m not very creative.
