If you want to preface the command, yes, but my alias works after the fact unless blurting out “FUCKING!!” when people tell you no is just part of your quirks I guess :P

The current owner is not and has not ever been interested in maintaining it. He bought it to squeeze it of its worth and now that it’s suddenly going to cost a lot of money to bring back he probably just won’t.

we used to be a hijinks society

Oh for the 5th year in a row? Alright, I’ll believe that when I see it.

You’ve set up a bit of a word-trap because that ‘true’ can cover for either of your cases. I can’t know what you mean.

If it adds nothing, why does it matter? If it adds something, why do you care?
What are you actually upset about?

Provide them the art for free, on-demand, and they might stop doing it.

It is immature and if you go around showing it to girls expecting a date you’ll be disappointed.

Do it because it’s funny, not because you could use it as an ice-breaker (you can’t). If you really want to impress girls, doing it and not giving a fuck what your sister thinks is more likely the impress someone, girl or not- but it’s not an ice-breaker.

At 19 I worked IT at a local shelter and the administration was so psychotic I cried in the bus to work.

Nothing in life takes no effort. I’m only advocating on the basis that Windows has become more of an effort to stick with than Linux has become to learn.

… everything else in your workflow will work immediately with no research needed.

I’ll put it simply for you: You can spend a few hours figuring out a new workflow, or you can spend the rest of your life fighting a losing battle against a megacorporation that has it out for you that will also randomly upend on your workflow.

Zingers are lame and boring. Elaborate or go

You can boil the logic down and apply it however you want. The fact is that different people have different levels of tolerance for bullshit and VPN users are a large source of it. TOR is also inherently harmless but exit nodes end up on banlists everywhere because malicious users use them to the point that exit nodes are pre-emptively banned in a lot of places because some people just don’t wanna deal with it. The big email providers have a zero-tolerance policy for the same reason; if your domain misbehaves even once then you’re on the shit-list forever because it’s not worth playing whack-a-mole with malicious actors.

Because shared VPNs are also used by malicious actors and some admins just don’t care about dealing with that.

Have you tried? Because Proton is the miracle people make it up to be.
