Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish
  • Ya know, I remember being confused when someone first used master/slave with me. They had to explain what they meant. I can't know but I'd venture a guess that primary/secondary would've been more clear to me without an explanation. I wouldn't have intuited why it's a concept, but I would've been able to skip the initial confusion as to how any inanimate object would be called a "slave"

  • Ok. This post did not resonate with you, it did with me big time. I've lived in 3 cities/towns in the hardcore south, totaling about 85% of my life so far. I fled the region after years of being afraid to "leave my family" literally because of EXACTLY everything written in this post.

  • I have done a couple of road trips that make me disagree with this. Yes I didn't live a long time in these places but in every Southern small town I felt judged and at every small town elsewhere that vibe just was not there.

    You can't wave this away. It's there.

    This does not mean that there aren't awful people and ideas everywhere. What's being discussed here is that deep in the culture, being hateful of differences is baked into almost everyone. The South has no monopoly on it exactly, but the difference is certainly there and noticeable

  • Omg you fucking nailed it. As a person from the south who got the fuck out due to every single thing you wrote, I couldn't possibly agree more.

    I know southerners who are wonderful in almost every way but because of this toxic awful culture you're discussing, have an evil streak. You're so right. I am not sure anything can be done about it now.

  • Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11
  • It's fair to want all the features you already have. In my experience though, the move to Linux is about figuring it out. You don't want to use a bunch of cli stuff, also fair. I'm just saying there's practically no unsolved problem if you just commit to the switch. Typically someone already wrote an app or script to do whatever it is.

    Sadly because I have an Nvidia card I have gaming issues that keep cropping up, and my experience running Adobe apps via wine is that sometimes they are unbearably slow, otherwise all the other niche requirements I have were met by Ubuntu variants. And I learned a lot in the process.

  • Parent comment option

    When I get replies to my comments, sometimes there is a lot of context in parent comments needed to really follow the thread. Some clients have a "view parent comment" feature which would be nice if we had in Boost. My current workaround is to use the "view in external browser" option and then navigate from there, but that feels goofy and slow.
