I was just thinking "yeah, that's me," about that one myself, Bob. Not that we've gamed together, but still.
Your avatar image appears to be borken, BTW
Edit: no it's not, it was my hard drive dying messing up 'fox's cache. When the system detects file errors it helpfully sets the disk to read-only so they don't compound themselves, but it doesn't actually tell me it's doing this so the first I know is when I go to open a new window in the file system and everything has the lock sub-icons on them. I lost a whole hour's worth of saved cat memes! Insert "the scream" emoji here.
So far, a reboot and fsck (and dutiful backups to an external disk) have been fixing it for a while, but I really need a replacement drive, if not a new computer. Perhaps I'll "stimulate the economy" when and if that gubment check arrives... assuming hardware prices haven't shot through the roof by then. I really don't want to be stuck using a potato for internet access again (and libraries and net cafes are closed anyway) though a bootable USB stick (which I actually have and can put my hand on, yay for me) and my external drive should continue to work for some value of "work" in this particular case.
