this is one of those things that when we’re old and trying to tell our grandkids about what it was like to live in this era, nobody is going to believe. “Grandpa said Republican conventions and events used to bring gay hookup sites offline, as if hookup web sites were city-specific domains, each with their own separate database and each running on a potato, as late as 2025”

I’ve gone back and forth between a common bashrc file in my Dropbox folder that is symlinked to ~/.bashrc on my devices, and one that is imported from a regular bashrc instead, and recently it ended up in a state where it accidentally tried to do both, resulting in an endless loop. I discovered this on my Pop!_OS PC, which reacted to this situation by crashing on login lol. What??
