I use Azire for vpn since they own their servers and let you use a plain old wireguard client. Before that I used Mullvad but I need port forwarding and a few sites I frequent blocked it for some reason. Only use Proton’s VPN for less sensitive stuff and being able to exit in lots of countries. The inconsistency in all the apps’ UIs sort of irks me, and the lack of a drive client for Linux is a negative.

I only recently finished migrating all my email to Proton so I’m probably leaving it for now. But I’m eyeballing replacements. His comments on X seemingly sucking up to Trump weirds me out… especially after the shock and awe shit show happening this week

I had a pair too. They were roughly finished and would dig into your skin. Also didn't sound very good. Cool idea though..

The TNT was a beast! I ran it on a k6-2 also. Unfortunately it crapped out and I replaced it with an MX400 which I still have (I have a problem). We all played with a myriad of platforms. One guy was on a friggin' Alpha that he warmed his feet with under his desk (not sure if he actually played on that but it was a running joke). We also played Quake but for some reason we were obsessed with the silliness of UT. MMMMM MONSTER KILLL.

We played Unreal Tournament mostly because it ran really well on Linux. Rarely had LAN parties but it worked fine over dial-up. Kinda wild. Miss those days. We did a lot of dumpster diving because people would just throw everything out when they left college.

The knockoffs still have the sleeves. I use the toaster oven anyway.

Mine got me diagnosed. She was frustrated because I burned out senior year and went from straight As to deliberately failing. One of my teachers demanded a conference and insisted I see a specialist. When the medication became too expensive after her divorce, she gaslighted me into thinking it wasn’t a real disorder. I ended up quitting college because of that. I still can’t help but hold that over her head sometimes.

I wasn’t able to explain exactly what I was going through until I was older. I thought everyone was like me, I suppose, even though eventually I knew I was different. Being ostracized by classmates helped that realization set in.

Both parents are more accepting and have apologized since realizing how debilitating it can be. However, without them experiencing it I still don’t think they fully understand. There needs to be some kinda VR simulation for that or something.

You have every right to be upset.
