If you want twenty minutes of rage-filled ranting, ask me about vscode-server sometime.
Two things I need to ask:
- What inspired this question, exactly, and
- Can I have some, please?
Congratulations you just invented magenta
If you actually fill the drive with zeroes, the chances of anyone getting anything back are somewhere between fuck and all.
Old MFM drives (tech likely as old as your parents) had a theoretical exploit for recovering erased data.
With modern tech, that loophole was firmly closed; even state-level actors would be shit outta luck.
A file comes in two parts: the actual blocks of data that hold the file itself, and a directory entry with the name of the file, and the location of the first block.
When you delete a file, it only scrubs out the directory entry, and re-lists the data blocks as available for use.
Because this isn't a Spot The Dog book, and we don't need little picture of all the nouns.
On their own they're ambiguous and vague; with the matching word they're completely redundant.
What good does it do to say "I had pizza [little picture of pizza] for lunch"?
I'll use the occasional :) or such as befits the tone, but pointless hieroglyphics are pointless and annoying.
yay more plastic we didn't have enough
As for helping - I think that once they get far enough down the path, there's probably not much you can do for them. But compassion is always a good thing no matter who you spend it on.
As is sparing a thought for the poorly-socialised, and for the lack of opportunities people have to just hang out in any kind of casual social setting, if you're not already part of a friend group.
Someone works a shit job in a dingy office with three people they hate and no general public flowing through, they're exhausted at the end of the day and even if they had a place to go they just want to go home. Weekends are for laundry and chores and recovering from the week - and besides, what are they going to do, head to some bar and spend all their money drinking alone, just getting aloner?
Most of the opportunities out there rely on having either a pre-existing set of people to hang out with, or enough acquired charisma that they wouldn't be in that situation in the first place.
Our society really needs to lower the barrier to entry for this stuff, but I have no idea how you'd go about that.
Nah, I'm just old - and I was the weird homeschooled kid; there but for sheer blind undeserved luck go I.
Hell yeah, though I prefer untoasted multigrain - also some cracked black pepper, maybe a little parsley or chives.
