The end of Red Dead Redemption. Spoilers for a game that's over a decade old, but John's death was a brutal cruelty that stayed with me for a long, long time.
I mean, I see chats as one continuous conversation and unless the conversation has been properly ended, it shouldn’t be necessary even if a night has passed.
It's interesting how some things have changed over the years when it comes to chat rooms. And how other things haven't. When I first started in The Palace the internet was new, and chat rooms were for shut-ins, agoraphobes, and nerds. We basically lived on the internet. So it made sense to some to treat the room as a place you entered and left.
Now you can sit on a discord server on mobile and have a life, pop in the middle of a conversation somewhere and then leave it. And some servers still suggest you greet a room like you live there.
It's like, when I was a kid, having internet access to all human knowledge, anywhere, would have been a divine gift. Now we all have computers in our pockets and some people still argue about basic facts that can be resolved instantly. We treat technology very strangely.

Aronofsky is a little hit-or-miss for me, and this subject doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. It's going to take a lot more to get me to watch this. Musk is loathsome and 90+ minutes with him could easily turn out to be tortuous.

I'm trying to remote into my Deck desktop. I have tried a number of things, searched all day, and I can't find anything that actually works.
Steam Link does NOT work as advertised. I can stream my PC (Win11) desktop TO my deck with a Fair connection and no issues. But my PC can NOT connect the other way, it always shows Slow connection and steamdeck offline. I'm on a wired home LAN and I've tried WiFi as well. I've watched "fix your SteamLink connection" videos and read everything but nothing changes it.
AnyDesk was pulled from Flatpak, so every search suggesting that option seems to be null and void. I don't know if or how any other version of Linux AnyDesk might work, or how. And I can't find anything other than "It's on Discover". Not anymore it isn't.
KDE Connect doesn't seem to do much other than let me transfer files. I can mouse click but not move the mouse. I don't see many options here to get it to do what I need.
I want to remotely navigate the Desktop mode from my Windows PC. It shouldn't be this hard. Anyone encounter or understand a solution that could explain it in better than one sentence worth? I'm trying to learn but it's just brutal out there.

Why people say good morning (or something like that) on chat after a night?
I mean, I see chats as one continuous conversation and unless the conversation has been properly ended, it shouldn’t be necessary even if a night has passed.
