Water sticks to my balls as well 👍

Pretty sure they wouldn’t let random people access or adjust their public restroom timer though. 🤷‍♂️

I went into a public restroom in a gas station once that was set up with a motion sensor. But I didn’t immediately know that. It kinda freaked me out for a bit when after like 3 minutes the entire room went pitch black dark. I thought their breaker kicked off or something, while sitting on the toilet.

If it’s gonna be on a timer, it ought to be set for more like 10 minutes or something. I dunno about everyone else, but I don’t tend to do much of any significant movement when sitting on the toilet to keep the lights and fan on.

So, aside from numerous other angry words I could say…

How is this going to affect incoming phone calls? Will I be able to at least talk with my friend, without having to hear ads the whole time because I was watching a video?

Just a friendly reminder, https://grayjay.app/ is a thing, screw the YouTube app.

Karolina Protsenko, the famous young violinist, said she keeps her violin with her at all times ever since someone broke into her parents’ SUV. Luckily they didn’t take or damage her violin, but they did get away with multiple electronics and microphones and stuff.

You gotta hate thieves 😡

They’d have to find my archives first, absolutely none of them are on the frontend. I don’t use the archive in any normal manner, and the links are effectively randomized so there’s no chance of just guessing any of my links.

I’ve been doing it for years and they haven’t pulled anything down yet.

Edit: Yes that’s clearly an archived website and not a file to direct download, but that same if_ banner bypass trick works just the same for individual file downloads.

Wanna watch a trick?

You can follow that link, it’s perfectly safe, and rather funny no less. It links to the archive…

https://web.archive.org/web/20230919001454if_/https://charleston.craigslist.org/avo/d/mount-pleasant-stealth-fighter/7667184419.html

Note the if_ after the date/time code. That bypasses their banner. None of my links are anywhere on the frontend of the archive, you literally have to know every link to find my archives.

And most of my archives aren’t even of websites, most of them are direct file downloads of older operating systems and games and stuff. Not like I’m about to share any of those here though.

I’ve been doing that for years and they haven’t found or removed a single thing I’ve archived. If they ever do, well so be it, but none of it is on the frontend, and the links are so obscure that there’s basically zero chance of anyone just randomly guessing them.

Funny you’d say that. If you manipulate the link and add if_ or fw_ after the date code, you can most certainly download files directly from the wayback machine.

Snapshot feature. Apparently you’re not familiar with it.

I don’t even have an account silly. Think I’m stupid enough to do that?

Never heard of the snapshot feature have ya?

I’ve got terabytes of things archived, still there.

Whether factual or not, that’s still the direction Canonical is heading.

Here mofo, go purchase Ubuntu Pro…

Canonical can suck my balls.

Have you not caught the recent news that Ubuntu is now plastering adverts on the desktop if you haven’t paid for it?

Please kindly fuck off.

Wanna hear a scary command I’ve used before?

sudo aptitude reinstall '~i'

Not for the faint of heart, nor meant for a fresh install, but that literally reinstalls every single registered package in Debian based distro.

Edit: If you ever dare use that command, you better make 2 pots of coffee and roll 3 joints, cuz it’ll take a good while…

I sorta had a feeling that wasn’t necessarily the best link after I posted it. Check this for more info (I’m on my phone right now…)

I feel your pain from a distance, I really do. ☹️

The best advice I have in the meantime is to prepare for a full backup of all packages and consider switching to a different Debian based distro…

Your problem is that you’re still using Ubuntu, after Canonical started injecting advertising and wants you to pay for it now.

Try a different distro, like anything besides Ubuntu…

I hope you didn’t turn back the odometer…
