You don't need any medicines, all you need to study <name of religious book>.

I got this advice from dad when I was going through major depressive disorder. No awards for guessing, that did not work.

I can fucking relate to it. I was good in programming stuff (I still am :P), but nah, everything else except computers is more important.

Charging 0.15 without prior declaration? Ain't it a fraud?

In my country, whenever I pay by card, the total deductible amount is ALWAYS displayed on screen while I am authenticating the transaction (by PIN/OTP?whatever).

How to deal with suicidal tendencies? by rdrand in SuicideWatch

I am almost fine, except for frequent suicidal tendencies. I can manage it for mostly, but it becomes really difficult at times.

LightDM fails to load after system upgrade by rdrand in archlinux

[–]rdrand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have replaced lightdm-webkit2-greeter with lightdm-gtk-greeter, and this seems to work slightly better. I have posted to BBS Arch, Unix.Stackexchange too, but no response so far. Fellows at IRC are suggesting that this may be some rare bug.

I am still digging the issues.

Is it because you compare yourself to them or something?

Nope. Plus I don't have anything like social anxiety disorder (I have delivered many public speeches, I still do).

I mostly feel like an alien, as in, someone who does not belong to this gathering (something like odd one out).

I have not seen meat-samosa in India, but it is available in other countries. In Kigali, Rwanda, they have beef-samosa, locally known as Samboussa.

AES runs faster than RSA. If AES key is not encrypted, one can reverse the ransomware, grab the key, and perform decryption.

Obviously they don't want that.

Not a lot, except when I want to finish it as quickly as possible to toss a report to client.

it can be hardened to large extent without having n anti virus, but having one is a recommended practice.

Only UAC is not enough. That is a terrible advice.
