There's another one of us! Quick! Take a picture!

I've only met one other person that knew who/what Dvorak was/is, and also reportedly used that keyboard layout.

I struggled with getting lost on the keyboard (several family members have dyslexia and ADHD--I'm not sure if that is related or not), and as an experiment spent 4 months exclusively using that layout to force myself to learn.

They never told me how my brain was also only big enough for a single keyboard layout. Usually in windows, games map to the same keys automagically. On Linux, not so much. I'm constantly remapping controls because I can't be bothered to just have two keyboard layouts I swap between for games /facepalm

I think I have you beat for most vanilla.

I play games on PopOS, and host FoundryVTT on my micro PC running Windows for DnD. I also stream games from the PopOS gaming rig to the Windows PC so I can play them from the couch on the weekend.

This is a tough one for me. I'm pro-privacy, but I'm also pro-sane driving habits.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies and some constructive DMs. You brought up a lot of things I needed to consider that my lighthearted comment and thoughts behind it ignored. Privacy is and should be a fundamental right. This comes before the right to drive aggressively or defensively. Privacy should be non-negotiable.

I'm going to leave this comment up because I believe it is a teachable moment. I have reevaluated my position, and I am wrong. Thanks for the thoughtful replies.

I've received letters twice from the same individual who belongs to a JW church. The first was when they moved into the area, and the second was when I moved to another place.

Your property ownership records (if you're American) are public records, and if you grab it within like, 3 years (where I live), you can even find the closing price and more detailed information on the sale.

Demand better privacy laws.

Oh, Microsoft will still find a way to annoy them, mark my words

I'm pretty sure a YouTube channel researched this one pretty thoroughly. Try checking out the Why Files. The entire channel is fascinating, intertwining, and informative.

If you want to do away with any protection you have with opting in to a security measure, like typing in a password, why don't you just reinstall and not select the encryption option?

Not requiring a password, or automatically entering a password to decrypt the filesystem, is essentially the same as not having encryption.

Decide which you want: Security or convenience. You cannot have both.

I trusted my government to protect my info, and now I have LifeLock for life because of several breaches on their part. If data is stored, it is virtually certain some portion of it will get leaked.

Lol

My account was four years old. There was no way I was going to do it by hand. It took PDS 8 hours to get churn through all that crap.

I had been meaning to delete my account earlier for opsec reasons, but just hadn't gotten around to it.

I know it's only token resistance at this point because others have found their comments from Google searches even after their accounts have been deleted, but Power Delete Suite is busy churning away on mine right now.

Pretty happy about my procrastination driving my decision to not put up a bunch of my Star Wars DnD modules and campaign notes.
