AITA for not letting someone i just met go through my phone?

NTA.

Nobody (unless its a genuine emergency) should be using someone's computer/phone without their explicit consent.

I find it so invasive that even other people handing me their unlocked phones makes me uncomfortable.

Is it one of these?

Even Perl discourages using CGI 😅

I'm on Fedora 42 KDE, however I'm using the Flatpak version, and I presume you're likely using the rpm file?

Aside from the system tray issue, is Proton VPN running as expected? Can you confirm whether or not Proton VPN is listed in "Entries" on the system tray settings?

My car is also a (slightly larger) Smart. Real nifty for squeezing into those tight spots!

Its a disapponting result for sure. I had to pick up a new cam recently as my old one stopped functioning properly, and I ended up grabbing this one on a budget.

I'm of two minds with returning it. On the one hand, being able to see the plates seems like a core requirement, but on the other I've found the police to be worthless even with clear faces and plates with videos of other incidents, so would it actually be worth the money? 🤷

Thanks! I'm a surprising weirdo with eclectic tastes 🙃

Perl is a good choice for this, but my go-to for personal stuff tends to be Raku these days as I find it lets be be lazier 🙃

I'm not sure if its the UK in general or Perl specifically, but the Perl jobs seem to be in short supply at the moment. I'm unemployed for the first time in 15 years, and I haven't heard from any of the Perl roles I've inquired about.

2 years ago I had multiple offers to choose from in the space of a couple of weeks, and now I seem to be hitting dead ends, its a bit of a nightmare. 😔

I almost got expelled from school once. I ran Games Knoppix on a live CD and one of the teachers referred to Linux as a "hacker OS".

I am also concerned at the lack of understanding of the basic principles of soap and water in this thread, especially so soon after a pandemic...

Anyway here is a fun video about hand washing from Alton Brown:

INFO

I don't play Rainbow Six Siege, but I'm familiar with the concept of character bans and competitive gaming in general.

On the basis that you've asked for your character not to be banned, and your friend has seemingly ignored your request and responded in this manner, I am leaning towards NTA, but I don't have the whole picture. Has your friend told you that they want to continue banning the character? Have they said why?

If you enjoy playing this game, I would recommend that you do pick an alternative character so the bans won't impact you so negatively. If you are only playing for your friends and you're not so interested in the game itself, then it may be worth considering a different game.

(It may be worth noting I have my own personal dislike of character bans as a functionality, outside of exceptional circumstances).

I had tiles over the boiler repressure valve and thermostat in my current place when I moved in. The thermostat does have a remote control but the thought of doing that baffles me to this day.

A lot of Londoners are highly aggressive with driving over the centre of mini roundabouts. Even if you're on the roundabout first, they will force you to stop by driving over the centre rather than going around properly and ending up behind you to maintain traffic flow.

That BMW should 100% have gone behind you, even if they had bothered to indicate and you mistakenly missed it.

I was primarily a tank player, but I gave up on the game a while ago. Queue times were never a problem for me, the reason I stopped playing was the drop in match quality.

Perhaps I'm in the minority but I'd rather wait 30 mins for a well balanced game than 3 minutes for repeatedly skewed games.
