I suspect a lot of women despite not wanting to be considered property, still place value on belonging with their partner. The western tradition of the man being the figurative head of household is still pretty prevalent. These two factors (and more, I’m sure) likely have some influence.

“Ladyboy” can be acceptable depending on context and locale.

Lots.

However I want to give FreeTube some love. Out of all the YT frontends, FreeTube has never failed me and always been a treat to use. I’ve used it on both Linux and Windows, and the experience is always reliable.

I’m unfamiliar with KISS. I don’t really distro hop, since what I use has satisfied all my needs to date.

Leaving a toxic environment that also is a privacy and advertising nightmare will always be an excellent personal choice.

I don’t disagree, I’m just saying if anyone was on the fence and needed a push.

The best crash course I received was when I needed to translate my startup scripts into systemd services. The hands-on learning was priceless.

They’ve grown up in a world where immediate gratification is expected.

I know every generation says that about younger generations, but perhaps that’s because with every generation it just gets worse and worse.

It was a topical joke revolving around the numerous rounds of tech layoffs since 2023, as well as the current state of industry hiring, which is pretty depressing and toxic if you’re a software engineer currently looking for work.

I’m a software engineer who was recently laid off.

Chase your dreams. The warehouse will always be there.

Eesh.
