  • It happens when your girlfriend is extremely unstable by default, even more so after a fight, comes to your parents house drunk in the middle of the night and essentially shames you for trying to reject her advances while simultaneously being physical about it by forcing you down and assuming you’re playing some mind game while you try your best to avoid waking your parents in the next room and making a scene cause she’s being loud and borderline belligerent. The sheer embarassment is enough for personal boundaries to get absolutely stomped on in that situation.

    Life is living among infinite shades of grey. Every situation has nuance that you might not have thought of.



  • I’m not using Linux in any enterprise capacity, but the compatibility improvements I’ve seen since the last time I tried out a distro for fun are immense.

    So immense infact that I’m migrating all my home studio and gaming stuff over to Linux and making it my official daily driver via Nobara.

    I’m honestly amazed by how well music production software and hardware works on Linux now. I’m so relieved because I thought this whole Windows enshittification thing was just another part of my life where I seemingly have no control over being made into a product and having all of my data sold constantly.

    A recent migration to GrapheneOS and this new discovery of Linux’s amazing capabilities for my use case are such a breath of fresh air. I now have the choice to reject the exploitative practices of these tech companies that have zero respect for people and that makes me happy.

    The more we use and recommend Linux the more of a chance we get of first party support in the future!











  • Tim Horton’s certainly can hit the spot but the quality has been on a steady decline for about 15 years now. Their menu used to be very simple; coffee and assorted café style drinks, bakery treats, and soup and sandwich. All very simple, yet effective as the ingredients were of reasonable quality and the coffee was consistently good.

    Nowadays the diversification of the menu has gotten so extreme that they can barely do any single thing right. Coffee is often burnt as machines are calibrated too hot, machines not properly rinsed after cleaning resulting in an oil slick of soap and chemicals floating in your coffer (personal experience), donuts and breads are often stale or poorly made… For years their breakfast menu’s egg was not egg at all. “Cheese and onion egg-like product” was what was on the box. Only recently have they moved to using real egg which has had a massively positive effect on the breakfast menu’s quality.

    Tim’s can be good. In Canada, its often that its not. I live in a town of ~50,000. This town has more Tim Horton’s than Ottawa with over 1M people. Tim’s has a cult-like following around here. Not sure why after the years of mediocrity.

    Glad you like it though. I’d love to try your Tim’s to see if there is much of a difference.





  • It just doesn’t allow you to use the Android Device Policy work profile which makes it so you can’t log into Slack for work (for example) if it depends on the work policy spyware being active on your phone.

    I get that for some people that’s a non-starter but for me who vehemently supports and exercises my Right To Disconnect, not having spyware on my phone for work is a good riddance.
