The real trick is to do this when it isn’t actually anyone’s birthday

Uh no Israel are the good guys. They told me so.

Hey man, (or lady, or whatever,) I won’t lie to you or try give you life tips because I’m sure you’re up to your eyes with that. But I will say: life is a bitch. It really just is a bitch. That being said, I’d argue there are still good people in the world, but they’re hard to find because being nice is very often not rewarded in modern consumer societies; hell, sometimes it’s even tacitly punished.

I know this probably doesn’t really help, but for what it’s worth, I’ve been in a similar situation…just minus the parental health problems (knock on wood). So while I can’t fully get it, I do to some extent. And if I can get through it, so can you because frankly, I am an idiot.

Sending you love; I hope things can turn around for you soon.

As a poor person with low-end, old hardware, I love XFCE. It has extended my laptop’s practical use-life by at least 8 years now, and counting.

Considering courts have been using Zoom since COVID…I am dying to see what happens. Will Zoom clarify that it doesn’t collect/utilize meeting recordings to train AI? Is it going to exactly that and force anyone conducting sensitive business to find a new platform?

This feels like a remarkably bad move, both for privacy and for Xoom’s own business concerns, unless I’m missing something.
