Heh, I posted a basically identical timeline in reply to another comment above.

I’ve been using it full time for 21 years, and dual boot for years before that. Early on it definitely took up a bit of time, but that’s mostly because I was interested in breaking things and learning to fix them. Even 10-15 years ago I don’t think I would have spent more than a few hours a month fixing things. These days it’s a few hours a year, and that’s only when I start messing around with something in a careless way.

Yes, I understood the joke…

For the parents, I assume?

Personally I think @WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com’s take is a bit prescriptive, but I do think that if you want a good long-term relationship, then it’s about finding what’s comfortable for both of you, not just for one of you. Boundary pushing can be OK, but usually only with prior consent or better some expression of desire… If either one of you pushes the other into doing something the other doesn’t really want, that’s probably not gonna pan out well in the long run. Listening (especially to the “why” part) and working together is important.

Is there any situation for which a fart is not a perfect metaphor?

Like, with the parents listening, or with them reciting it with you?

I think this one is more subliminal than the others… Usually they’re just trying to deflect and distract and using accusations to do it… This time he’s legitimately annoyed and just being honest.

Not that there’s much practical difference…

That whole question is contingent on the assumption that it’s OK that private jets exist

What… Did it say? Who was it trying to convince?

And/or (i suspect this is more likely) it will threaten to do so, and mastodon.social/.online will update their TOS to fix the problem identified in the bug report. Either way it’s a win for federation, in that migration is relatively painless for the user…

I’m also really appreciating the speed and depth of the response to this from the community (e.g. all the comments on the bug report). It’s cool to see!

edit: Also, Eugene’s response is reasonable and levelheaded - seems like there will be some TOS improvements eventually.

With that username, I trust this answer completely.

Where did it go?

Snakes and spiders? Yes. Flavours of icecream? No. If you’re treating people you might be attracted to more like snakes and spiders, that unfortunate for you.

Tell that to a dildo

The message is clear, who cares?

Correct. But usually it’s spelled anecdotal.

Dist-upgrading across 2+ years of upgrades.

It’s been a long while for me, but some kind of dumb tinkering resulting in system death was semi regular 15 years ago. It got real bad when encyption started getting involved…

The loose bit of skin on the outside of the elbow is called the weenus

Yes, you can.
