Did that years ago, just called it cds. I also have an “up” command which is an alias to “cds …”. Oh, and I have a “setup server_name” they copy all my aliases to a server and create an alias that allow me to “ssh -A server_name” using only server_name.

Oh boy, I am so glad Nintendo franchises do not appeal to me visually so I don’t have to bother with all that.

It is a reference to the Superman film (1978). This scene was truly scary when I was a kid and its weirdness very likely has something to do with it.

Same here even without dangerous activities. I may look up where my partner is at the end of the working day. Still in the office? May be a rough day, I can think about some nice dinner and serve a glass of wine 30 seconds before she comes back home.

Oh right! It’s not a spoiler, it was one one the announced features, I just misused solo vs single-player.

Didn’t play the first one yet, but your insight is very interesting. Honestly, I cannot understand why any game wouldn’t offer the “storytelling” mode. It’s a solo game, just let people play how they want to. It’s like selling a toy car and saying “You can only drive it on a carpet with four wheels touching the ground at any time”. Nope, my (hypothetical) toy cars will be goddamn submarines if I want them to.

Fallout games allow you to be as slow as you want with the right builds. It’s never too fast tbh.

Didn’t know that, that’s cool!

Raw textile or clothes are fine, I agree. I’ve seen a lot of issues in anything that implies moving parts or frequent assembling: bicycles, tents, rollers, etc. Nothing extremely bad but, as I said, I preferred to pay a bit more to get better equipment on my bikes elsewhere.

A bit more details on that “throwing away” part: there are often people who come to the workshop and ask to upgrade their equipment. They want to get a new set of tyres/inner tubes before a new bike season, set up new handles, change wrist watch batteries, etc. We were asked to always puncture old tyres, cut handles in half, etc. The watches case was infuriating to me: battery replacement was 5€, the same amount as a new basic watch. We were asked to just offer people new watches and throw away old ones so no one could retrieve it from trash and use it later. I never did anything of those and resigned shortly.

It was Decathlon France back in 2015. Well, it’s maybe more than “few years”, things may have changed now

While I sometimes buy some sport equipment here and while they have some very accessible products, you can get much better quality for a bit more expensive. Worth saving money for a month more but have really good hiking equipment (or whatever you are looking for).

Also, I worked for them a few years ago and their policies were very questionable. E.g. sometimes they were throwing away some products but always smashed them (like, with a hammer) so “it cannot be used if anyone finds it”.

Damn, downgrade programming is probably a term that I lack in my vocabulary, it is really interesting. You really bring “Don’t fix if it isn’t broken” to a new level.

Wait… It it a kind of “old school cool” picture? Or is it a native DOS machine running an actual Links in 2025?

I’d might accept to send my ID with my photo, first and last name (data which they already have and might use to verify my identity) but with all the remaining info being anonymized / blurred. But I believe that Persona filter out blurred out images. And I have to admit, I am kinda afraid to send fake data. Sure, Persona is not a legal representative but a third party, sending them a fake ID isn’t any different to send a fake ID to a buddy but still.

Thanks for your reply, there are many ideas that help me to think it through!

First of all: no, I agree that non-verified person should not be able to request an account deletion. However, I am in full possession of my id, password, 2FA, full access to both old and new e-mail boxes as well as to all devices that have ever been used to log into this account. I believe that this is enough to prove that I am the one holding the account.

I believe that I never used LI from any new VPN (I use either professional VPN or no VPN).

As per your last paragraph, I totally agree that it might “reveal” my sensitive data. My idea was the following: if I show myself ready enough and kinda literate about privacy (nothing fancy, just some well-known rights and regulations) I might get them to accept a video call or something similar to confirm my identity. If this case were to be brought to court after all, I believe that my ID data might remain within the jurisdiction of my country instead of be sent to a third party (Persona).

Good to know, thanks! I might try to log in every now and then. And indeed, no way I keep my account after that.

I have a very similar situation: a cat with a severe kidney disability, meds 5 times a day with at least 2h between each. We’ve been using a whiteboard but I am currently setting a smarter solution. My WIP setup is a raspberry pi with a static IP on my local network and a FastAPI app. This way I can also do a household to-do lists (did anybody watered plants recently?) and add connection to local smart lights (effects if meds could not be given with 2h interval before our usual go-to-bed time), etc.

It would only work for us since it is a household only solution. Our cats do not travel anywhere and I do not currently need to check for these todos when not at home. It may be different for you. Good luck OP, hope you will find something that suits you.

Don’t give them the ideas!

I am thinking more and more often about doing it. “professional e-mail about how bad the last dataset was”.

Classic translation problem. It’s never. the. same.
