Huh? Where did i imply that? They do and it gets lambasted. My point stands.

Aka, the South Park defense.

Now you get it. A slur doesn’t become not a slur just because it has other meanings

e.g, evaluate this hypothetical statement by fictional commenter Chad Dudebro:

“Calling him a (f-slur) doesn’t mean OP is homophobic. Being a (f-slur) is a state of mind.”

It ain’t the same level of offensive, but “boomer” is obviously an agist slur. Its just that no one cares because its okay to hate old people.

So if someone called a gay person f-slur, its okay because words have different meanings. Got it.

I’m familiar with the argument. And yet it is an age descriptor used as a pejorative. But no one cares because its just old people, right?

Hard disagree. It’s a generation. If people used zoomer or millennial in the same disparaging way in a meme, they’d be lambasted.

Could you not use people’s age as an insult?

If you don’t get it, it’s not even worth explaining.

k, thanks. bye.

edit: I’ve engaged enough here.

Macos now has that built in, tho iirc, i think flux is more granular.

Neither are a medical doctor qualified to treat eye problems, though. You’re looking for an ophthalmologist.

Before going down that road, ask yourself this: “How much do I really want to stay married, anyway?”

Gotta follow rules 1 and 2, of course.

Whose expectations? Who says we have to pay them any mind?Unless their name is on the deed, or they pay me wages, I don’t much care what they expect.

I know someone who only learned Biden had dropped out upon seeing his name was not on the (mail-in) ballot. I was a little jealous.

I follow current events, but I strive to filter out politics beyond the very top level headlines.

Learn to recognize automatic negative thoughts.

My background is in enterprise software, so that is obviously different than a desktop tool for individual use, but it informs my opinions.

In general it depends on the use (is it “production” critical, etc) as well as the update and distribution mechanisms.

I have several (mostly for windows) FOSS projects i have stopped using or just rarely update because they require too many steps to update, and/or do so too often.Or they require a reboot. Some of them prompt for an update every time I start them. Feh.

That said, if there isn’t much friction like testing cycles or manual steps to update, I want faster updates.

Most of my self-hosted stuff falls into the category of getting updates via package managers or docker. Those are often seemless and do not require manual steps.
