House shoes. Been out in the slush and salt a lot, so I can’t just wear my boots like i prefer.

They do and it gets lambasted. My point stands

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. Feel free to comment if you’d like blocked.

2012 was 13 years ago. That’s a pretty long time for younger folks.

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.

McMaster-Carr is the 8th wonder of the world.

The name being applied to aircraft supposedly comes from the engine noise from unpiloted target drones that used a jet engine. The term originally comes from the insect world, I bee-lieve.

Just two or three, really. One or two actively with the kids and usually just one active on my own.

Weird, this comment ended up on the wrong thread.

Today with snow on the ground, I made 5-bean chili. So we think alike.

My favorite is probably Cuban style black beans. Runner-up would be an authentic Rajma Dal (kidney beans Indian style.)

I’ve been vegetarian for my entire life, so I eat a lot of beans and lentils.

Lol. AI has so very little to do with this. That’s only mentioned because it’s the latest bogeyman.
