  • This may or may not help, but here’s my two cents:

    Windows was originally built to be as user-friendly as possible because its target audience are non-tech-savvy people. It then evolved into being a business OS. So security was never its first priority.

    UNIX was built for tech savvy people to do business-sensitive stuff, and required sophisticated security models. Linux was modeled after UNIX (Minix specifically), and thus inherited those same principles. It evolved to become more user friendly. But security remained a priority.

    Now, that said, both Windows and Linux are configurable. You can make Windows more secure with effort, just like you can make Linux less secure with effort (and I don’t mean simply using root all the time).

    There are diehards on both sides , and they will make excellent (or terrible) arguments for their favored OS. So you need to decide what works best for you and your use case and go with that. 😊

  • Ths might be an over generalization, but it’s my layman’s understanding that all Native American and Latino people migrated over from Europe-Asia; some went south and colonized Mexico and Central America, while others went to Canada and also the US. So if that’s true, then I would imagine they’d have some shared lineage.

  • I still sometimes face the shelves because I’ve been there and I want to show solidarity.

  • I put my ticket numbers in my tickets, but i also try to describe the change too (e.g. “Fix bug where xyz happens due to zyx action”). Also, atomic commits: commit only related changes.

    Yes, it takes longer to commit large changes, BUT you can easily merge the commits, and rollback only what needs to be rolled back.

  • Ain’t nothing wrong with that! Id probably buy new windows and do some other house work. It’s an investment.

  • You can certainly pay for the work ahead of time. The rules say that you have to spend it in one day, not receive what you bought in one day.

  • Hey they tried! 😂

  • Git commits with message saying “pushing changes” and there are over 50 files with unrelated code in it.

  • Tell that to my girlfriend… oh wait. 😢 😂

  • Counseling is the way to go. It’s going to take a lot of time, a lot of opening up, and being honest with your counselor and yourself. Don’t expect to see results immediately. You will get frustrated with the process. But you have to keep going.

    Also, don’t be afraid to find a new counselor if your current one isn’t working for you. And only you will know what that means. But when you find the right one, it will make a huge difference for you.

    At the same time, you may need to give your therapist multiple chances. What I mean by that is that you will not always see eye to eye with them. And that’s okay; especially if they’re challenging you to move past something big. But if you constantly feel something is off, then trust your gut. This is about what’s best for you.

    I genuinely wish you the very best of luck.

  • Look, you need to find some way to get some you time. Start small. Only you can figure out what that means. But you’re absolutely right that it’s unrelenting, and it won’t stop. Talk to someone (a friend or a therapist). Don’t let it stay bottled up.

    Good luck!

  • Mine is like you, but much more general: trying to argue. Period. Doesn’t matter with whom. People of all kinds don’t like to have their views challenged.

  • It’s like clapping. It hasn’t stopped. It’s just the time between stanzas has been increasing.

  • Nah. Fuck OED. They’re not the only game in town.

  • There are over 8 billion people in this world. No one said it was limited to just your lifetime. 😏

  • Hm. This is a great question.

    I have always been a chatty guy, despite it sometimes causing me grief of one kind or another. While I don’t specifically have memories of conversations with my folks (when I was young), I no doubt had them.

    That said, I’ve also always been a widely misunderstood person (at least to my mind); I never seemed to conform to people’s expectations (even today to a degree). I have developed severe trust issues because of this, especially among my ~family~ bloodline; as such, I have cut off all communication with everyone on my side of the family* — even if they never actually hurt me (sorry Egg!!).

    • By this, I mean I do not talk to anyone older than me in my family (I am the youngest); I do however go to great lengths to talk to my children every day; even if it’s about nothing in particular. I also do not shy away from sharing stories of my childhood, or how they’ve affected me, as I firmly believe that they deserve the truth, and also should learn from my (and my family’s) mistakes. Suffice it to say, I do believe that my children are doing much better in life than I ever did when I was their age, so maybe it’s working.🤞
  • Here ya go!

  • Beautiful! Thank you!

  • I get that. I also wonder how many Lemmy users get that?
