I go to Discord to join the Mint server so I can stop spamming Hexbear with Linux questions.

The Mint fan server has a general chat I take a look to see what the users are like.

They're complaining about Twitter being a right-wing shit hole. Good, fuck Twitter.

They're also complaining about Tumblr.

They call Tumblr far-left.

They say fuck extremism from both sides(tm)

I close Discord and decide I'm just going to ask Hexbear when I need Linux help instead, spam be damned.

I remember when I had windows 7 that updates were ongoing until like....what, Windows 10 was out? In between 7 and 10 was windows 8 and that was terrible. I was hoping to hold onto 10 until 12 was out and that 12 would be better, but 10 is going to stop being updated in October and there's no sign of 12 coming any time soon (and no guarantee it'll be better than 11 to be honest).

I recall windows 98 was great (or windows 98 second edition), windows 2000 was terrible, and then windows XP dropped and that was fantastic again. I was thinking maybe we'd see the same pattern here, but apparently it's still too soon. I really don't want to switch to windows 11 (and don't anyone suggest Linux) but I may have to; additionally my current PC is apparently also not able to meet hardware requirements for 11 (which seems impossible; it's thankfully fairly decked out in the best stuff money could buy in 2016, which should still be powerful) so I'll have to get a new PC or a custom build a new one (I would rather a custom job to be honest).

And then of course you have to go through the steps to turn off as much of the crappy spyware they have going on in windows 11 too. This is genuinely going to suck.

If this site disappears I want you all to know I lov-

I really hope someone is gonna lots of money for whatever they do to go to shit.

Alternatively it would be really funny if someone was prepared to pay like a grand for it, but then the old site owner swoops in and just renews it for the $12 bucks minutes before the auction ends

if you look at the timestamps it just doesn't make any sense. nobody would be that committed to bidding on a domain on the first day of the auction. and i really don't think a liberal is gonna blow $600 just to own us or whatever.

i think the auction house is inflating the numbers to try and scam a worried domain owner maybe

not shit talking the kid, kids do shit like that, but it's just hilarious this kid is going to town on his nose in front of a bunch of cameras and not even attempting to hide it when he eats them or wipes them on the desk. BLOMPF HAS A BOOGER DESK

never again shall only one person have access to the domain's admin account and cause this to happen again.

i think we can all share the GoDaddy/Porkbun/etc account and it won't cause any issues & will also ensure that the lease does not lapse again!!

One person "j_s_0e6b87" is already driving the price up a lot really early. 9 days to go, and already 500(as of now). Always as soon as someone overbids them, they go up. Like pretty committed already financially. Jumped the price from 425 to like 500 in one go. Other bidders clme and go, but they stay.

Of course it's playing with fire, but I kinda would love to see how much money they could waste to get "hexbear.net" of all things. I don't know what Urls usually go for, but 505 seems like a lot.

They fucking warned us. We didn't listen and they fucking warned us. Why did we laugh at them? We should have listened. Curse our hubris!

Cool editorial choice wonder what fun redesigns we will get in the future!

Mistress I’m sorry. I do think your forcefem has been very good so far. Really loved the coerced estrogen regimen and the flip flopping between gentle encouragement and psychological manipulation. Plus the derelict basement has this grunge feel to it that really adds to the vibe. But unfortunately I’ve gotten the offer to be kidnapped by a pretty millionaire which I can’t refuse. Yes she has money for more elaborate and elegant dresses. Yes she can afford to put me through non-consentual surgery. And if I’m going to turn into someone’s pet girl against my will then I might as well be going all the way, so that’s an offer I can’t say no to (literally I can’t, she won’t allow me). Yeah I’ll be leaving the basement tomorrow. Yeah she will send her own group of mercenaries which I will mistake as cops rescuing me from my plight, only to find myself in her mansion going through a new kind of feminising hell. Don’t worry though! I will always remember our days when you broke my psyche and left me to pick up the pieces, finding less and less of me to put back together!

Do with this information what you will, but it's at least kinda funny that the site is now segregated across tech nerddom lines.

It's what the people want and you know it

Just wanted to get this thought out there. Space on the internet is infinite, and changing to a new domain is easy and cheap. Let the people who have poisoned their brains with anti tankie rhetoric pay the DNS landlord hundreds of dollars for the privilege of setting up a redirect to NATO's website or whatever, our money and effort is better spent on literally anything else.

The absolute spirit is in control

Into the long, dark night.

It was an honor, chapo.chat.
