As with almost everything. Cheap is subjective. And not even just as in “I have more money so everything is cheaper for me” but also like “The value I derive from this thing for my specific use-case makes the cost feel cheap. To me.”

Very interesting insights. Thank you for sharing!

Overall, I completely agree with this comment. But I live in the middle of the forest, completely surrounded by trees and when it hits 35c that air conditioning is very needed. Trees are nice but an air conditioner they are not.

Meaningful to whom?

I’ve gotten at least 50% off compared to the day I wishlist something on every game that I’ve waited on a sale for. I know this because I only buy wishlist stuff when it is at least 50% off

I can sit on ice cream and tell you the flavour.

Sincerely though - I was just being an ass. I didn’t intend any actual offense. I Apologize. And I am not one of those downvotes.

I always trust any group where the ‘main thing’ that will get you kicked out is … telling the truth.

Incurious fools

I haven’t read too much into the topic

sigh…

That is one heck of a reply. Thank you kindly for your time.

I had a look around and none of my weird little pocket scripts interact directly with X anymore.

And it looks like an easy decision to reverse with just a session swap, so why not.

Thanks for the push.

There will be enough people asking this as a joke, but I am very serious. Is it actually time to move on from X11 for everyone?

I have been using linux since a couple months after Linus put the first bits of code on an ftp. I have been mainlining it since 1999 and it has been my entire career since 2009.

I have been through all the iterations. The svsV’s, the runits, the systemd’s. And while I don’t enjoy a ton of change I did get over it for all of these and still feel ‘at home’.

But for wayland? I have never even tried. I just see everyone saying you are fucked if you have X or Y hardware, or if you require A or B legacy workflows.

Is NOW really the time for old codgers to give it a serious go?

#Create a dir and cd into it
mkcd() { mkdir -p "$@" && cd "$@"; }

This is unhinged idiocy. Seek mental help.

Look up extra-cellular vesicles. This is where the magic is.

The growth mindset that is intrinsic in questions and comments like this is counterproductive to the goals of the fediverse in my opinion.

The goal of federated services is not to be the biggest anything in the world. But instead to give places for people who actually care about the quality of The contents they interact with and that it was created by humans.

If that means that this part of the grand scheme of media stays small… So be it.

Elated to be wrong. You see, that is how being an adult works. Sometimes you are wrong, and when you are wrong about something with a positive outcome, you are happy that you were wrong.

You are wrong.

And nuance left the door wide open for pedantry and contrarianism to come in and set up camp.

Fair enough. I honestly didn’t mean this as an insult. I have seen the same type of review from people who join teams that I’m on when they get told about ansible.

It certainly isn’t perfect. And there was a period of time about 5 years ago where a lot of change was happening at once.

Thanks for sharing your opinion

Same question. But with 100s of playbooks, and thousands of servers. This feels like someone had a bad experience with their first 30 minutes of ansible and gave up before looking at the command reference.
