Turn off Dark Reader; make sure WebGL is working (chrome://gpu/)

Some vendors who sell expensive software arrive (perhaps unintentionally) at this solution: produce software with enough defects or missing features that it cannot be used without regular contact with support. An adjacent idea is to produce software with a large number of plugins that are separately purchased. That multiplies the effort needed to crack and distribute everything.

For Twitter: switch to 'Latest Tweets' or use the search "filter:follows include:nativeretweets"; unfollow everyone or make a new account, use Twitter search a lot to search for things you're interested in (I like to query for phrases that only domain experts would know about), follow intelligent-seeming people and check their following list; quickly unfollow or mute anyone who is bad at tweeting.

Reducing the information content of a message, effectively concealing the information that you already plan to send after “Hi”, isn’t being polite to people with this personality, it’s frustrating.

You can retain foreign key constraints by having one column per type of reference. It is also possible to ensure that exactly one column of several is NOT NULL, so that the columns can always be mapped to an enum in application code. Also, in PostgreSQL, the storage for the extra NULLs uses just one bit per column in a bitmap.

    CREATE TABLE dirents (
        parent         bigint   NOT NULL,
        child_dir      bigint,
        child_file     bigint,
        child_symlink  bigint,
        basename       text     NOT NULL,
    
        -- Ensure exactly one type of child is set
        CHECK (num_nonnulls(child_dir, child_file, child_symlink) = 1),
    
        CONSTRAINT dirents_child_dir_fkey     FOREIGN KEY (child_dir)     REFERENCES dirs (id),
        CONSTRAINT dirents_child_file_fkey    FOREIGN KEY (child_file)    REFERENCES files (id),
        CONSTRAINT dirents_child_symlink_fkey FOREIGN KEY (child_symlink) REFERENCES symlinks (id),
    
        PRIMARY KEY (parent, basename)
    );

It sounds like you are a people-pleaser. This is a common problem that I shared. The thing to learn is to have, state, and enforce boundaries. Otherwise some people pick up on a lack of boundaries and will do what they wish with you.

Something that may help is to recognize that you are allowed to disappoint someone. You are not the sole cause of a situation. In a problematic situation, sometimes the best we can do is to have boundaries and see whether people want to adjust their behavior or leave. Simply having articulated boundaries will often cause people to be less bothersome (with you, anyway).
