Yep. Actions speak (even) louder than words, and his track record on leaving office without a tantrum is... not great.

What do you care? You are dead.

In general, everything will stick around as long as you paid for it. Your email account and your web site will probably be unceremoniously deleted once the money runs out, and the domain name itself will be freed up. While you use your domain to point to your web site and your email account, they won't be associated forever: Once they expire, the name is available for someone else to fill it with new content, not to get access to your existing content.

Oooooor: You could bequeath all your online assets to a family member in your will (don't forget to give them all relevant passwords), possibly along with some money to keep paying for the domain registration, email- and web hosting.

The snap infrastructure is indeed what some object to the most.

Got one for my wife not too long ago. She uses it to catalog her books.

To some extent, the coping mechanisms we (the old people) had to figure out ourselves did work. Stuff got done. The cost? Depression, anxiety, all that good stuff.

Yes, most of us survived - but life would have been so much better (and more productive) if we could have gotten the right help at the right time.

So, yes: We made it, it SUCKED, let's not make people go through this needlessly.

I normally buy games without even looking whether they support Linux. On the extremely rare occasion that a Steam game doesn't run on Debian, I'll just get a refund. Sometimes I feel like I should stick to Linux native games on Steam, to send a message that Linux gamers exist - but then there's sure to be something that I just can't live without on the Windows side.

Or: Plenty of people have the problem, but nobody has figured it out.

And: Stack Overflow agrees that this is a dumb thing to want to do, anyway.

It is a kind of fudged up world when your second thought is ‘thank goodness they are only injured’.

I am clearly not hip to popular culture.

Breezewood, PA, I believe.

The fun part is that the primaries seem to be specifically designed to have the parties do that to themselves rather than to each other.

Yep. Pessimistic about anything still being useful at this point, but hoping I am wrong.
