The next one just might.

The creeper paradox: the harder you try not to be, the more you appear to be.

I replied to OP but I also need to say that I have definitely been the bully before. Very very inept coworker that after months of mentoring started to blame me for their short comings. So, after that, I stopped being so nice. There was only so much bullshit I could handle.

So at the time, it felt justified? But looking back I wish my response was to just ignore them.

The last time I was bullied, was by my own boss, back in 2007-2009. Truth is I didn’t deal with it, and eventually they fired me. Next job basically taught me that it was possible to enjoy your boss & coworkers.

If you’re going through it now, best advice is to find people to talk to. Partner at home, work friends, anyone you trust. If it’s to the point of harassment, you tell management. If they blow you off, look for employment elsewhere.

I bet it’s also common/planned that they would just reopen another one somewhere else. Esp if it closed for bankruptcy, etc.

and the other 99 million?

Thanks! Fortunately (unfortunately?) I’m all Windows atm. Other than my pihole and photoframe.

oh I wouldn’t say I’m “adamant” - but to answer your question I was looking to unGoogle my Google Drive and GMail, and Proton popped up pretty quick for having both. I’m currently paying for Private Internet Access VPN, but once that expires I could also get a 3rd function out of Proton with their VPN. I also want my new mail service to allow custom domains, which Proton also does.

Me too! Pretty close to moving to proton though. Might wait for Black Friday rates.

Completely agree!

I don’t really speak github - is there a manual way to go to a YT video, but through Piped? Or is the new url more complicated than that?

This is what “Freedom & Family” means, apparently!
