1970-2002 … are there any differences besides print that I’m not seeing? It seems to me to be 9 times the same ball.

I’ll follow your link, and also comment to say that what OP mentions sounds like the possible future of Doctorow’s Makers.

That must be a first. At least, I’ve never before heard of a seal on an airplane…

Personally, XP.

Professionally, I’ve been subjected to Windows 10, but promptly installed Linux (and win 10 in a VM). I have refused job offers that insist on windows 10, and will refuse Mac centric press as well.

I admire your logic and life plan.

But, “deserve … geese”? Need more data.

The trouble is that, apparently, “perfect UI” can mean “let’s take all the sidebar tabs, remove their text labels and make all their icons really abstract and in the same colour. Oh, and change their order, too, while you’re at it.”

Thank you from the bottom of my muscle memory and pattern recognition. Now, give us back our old UI that was actually meaningful, or at least make it an option if you insist that your “clean look” is more important than actual usability.

^(Apart from that, I love you JetBrains.)

Same. I wish you the best for your continued upward trajectory, friend. 😐🤜

What from, if I may ask?

Me, I’ve been on a multi-year roller coaster (more like haunted house ride, really, with the rattling and the spooks and the lack of upwards motion…) involving asking for help in what turned out to be the wrong place, causing me to lose my job, kids, spouse, dream house, future dreams, sanity, and damn near my life.

Still, I’m still here, still hoping for things to get better. You know, eventually.

“Men must be stoic no matter what!”

“Men are such insensitive dolts!”

“All men are part of the patriarchy!”

…yeah, we’re not making it easy for men to show affection, are we?

The guys I go to tantra classes with are very affectionate, and it’s so lovely.

Cue the tune in my head. Thank you, it’s so lovely. 😍

Taking a day off? From parenthood? Back when my kids were tiny, the office was my reprieve. Then, of course, covid struck…

Seriously, how do you even get the data to make such graphs?

On another note, I don’t have much sympathy for people who clearly “swipe right on everyone”. I am aware that it’s a numbers game, but have since standards, man.

Well there was also gobo Linux, which would let you play Tetris while the installation did its thing.

What’s with all the back slashes? \ why not use a regular…

…line break?
