What the FUCK.
I immediately went to settings and, I guess at some point I’d already given these swine my phone number? Went to remove it and I’ve greeted by this wonderful toast message=
God I wish something was fully suitable as an easy discord replacement 😭 spacebar seems rad if it wasn’t super alpha. And as cool as element is, it just doesn’t have the same low bar to entry that discord has (not to mention group calls are jank as hell, when they work, and there’s no screen share yet tragically)…

…in 2003, [bismuth] was discovered to be extremely weakly radioactive. The metal’s only primordial isotope, bismuth-209, undergoes alpha decay with a half-life about a billion times the estimated age of the universe.
Jesus crust!

That’s not even the best one, though. For a brief window I tried my best to create a little portable Ubuntu environment on a USB drive so I could just bring all my software with me, games and all, and just boot into it when I got to school!
Well, eventually I had the thought that I could potentially install it on a second hidden partition, and select it from boot time… But I guess in the heat of the moment (I had a little group of friends standing behind me blocking the librarians’ view, all cheering me on), I ended up misclicking and overwriting the OS, wiping the hard drive in the process 😅😅
Needless to say, they were not thrilled. Unfortunately, believe it or not, a group of kids crowded around one guy at a computer is a fucking beacon when you’re searching video feeds for suspects 😅 they had found me out by the next day and banned me from the computers for a year. (My friends just gave me their logins anyways 🤘)

Ah man I have so many stories about my high school schenanigains.
Every student had a folder named as their student ID on the smb network, all in one big folder. I created a folder there with a fake student ID just 1 above mine, so all I had to do was change my path from /students/1234 to 1235 and bam - I’m in my alt account. I had cracked copies of halo, starbound, gmod, powder toy, Terraria, Minecraft… all sorts of goodies!
Eventually I found that since this phony user folder 1235 wasn’t tied to a domain user, its read/write permissions weren’t locked down - so anybody on the network could access or add to the folder, so I shared it around with friends and it grew quickly! Didn’t realize that meant deleting stuff, too; some kids just had chaos in mind, and would randomly delete shit because hAHa I DelEted the FolDer!!1! Ah, high school.
So eventually I got a system down where I’d keep backups elsewhere, and I’d refresh the war-torn main folder every so often, or switch to a new bogus ID to keep it among my friends - but better yet, if I was lucky enough to catch it disappearing in realtime, I’d often throw it right back up with something flashy and new in there, like a new CoD game or something, with surface level ‘shortcut’ links to the game executable right at the top of the directory, complete with a convincing custom icon. Instead of running a game or something, though, it instead ran scripts that either identified the leak (CD tray eject in a library computer bay? Immediate audio queue locating the assholes), or in later stages when patching the leak still failed, I’d bait them into a script that’d nuke their PC somehow 😂
my personal favorite, I built what I called the ‘tree bomb’ - a recursive .batch file that launches itself in another window, then runs "tree C:". Within around a second you’d go from a functional PC to a screen filled with terminals spitting out a representation of your hard drive’s contents 🤣 in retrospect, I made a malware! 😅

Absolutely badass. Crazy to think that folks just a coupla generations up from us had lives without modern medicine and stuff (eg birth in a teepee!) Incredible. I guess sometimes it feels like modern medicine has been around longer than it has.

Jeez man, people got done PTSD about reddit power mods or something?? Why ya’ll gotta be so shitty to the mods??
That thread was definitely getting toxic af, specifically the troll that posted. I agree with ya’ll saying it makes sense to encourage discussion, esp on topics that’re controversial, but like go read some of that OP’s comments on that thread! They were being shitty to people just to be shitty - I think the mod made the right call for sure.
Even if the mod were off base, no excuse to treat 'em like shit!
