You’re absolutely right, of course.
We should aspire to ensure everyone is equipped in that respect before they leave home!
What I want to say is: Yeah, it can be as difficult for men to leave a bad relationship as it can be for women. That isn’t a reason to treat men any different from women. - Comment on Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel 4 months ago:
Yeah, good luck getting Adobe supporting anything linux. Have pleaded both as customer and as corporate client. Not happening.
Blackmagic has stuff. DaVinci, etc. But apples and oranges.

Well. When the OS stops receiving updates there’s a whole lot of stuff that stops receiving updates (much of which is the libraries that are being updated with the OS).
Using Windows 10 past the cut-off date is perfectly possible but more and more of the security of your device (and, as it’ll be connected to the internet, all other unpatched devices) will be on you, rather than a large company (or a collective of really smart people).

Ah. Pro Tools.
Yeah I understand Avid isn’t exactly er, avid on the open source stuff.
My apologies and thanks for the education. - Comment on How to treat a man 4 months ago:
The moral of the story is: Don’t hang around in relationships where you’re treated like shit.
There’s other possible morals here too, but let’s keep with this one. I think it says it all.

I guess you’re a man? So am I. Have you been treated like shit in your relationships? I’m sorry to hear that. I have been treated by like shit by some women in relationships as well. Then I got out of those relationships.

Fair enough. And I didn’t mean it as a slight. Just genuinely curious about what a unified Linux Control Panel might have been like.
This is not to say that the Gnome and KDE (or Plasma) panels (f. ex.) don’t have their varied and myriad shortcomings, but that’s another discussion.

As a father to two girls: When and if it comes to them dating boys (or girls for that matter), yes I’m going to give them some pointers. Like: Ask them what they want! Everyone’s different. Be nice to them and expect them to be nice to you. Talk to them and expect them to talk to you (at least a little bit; everyone’s different). If you love them, let them know you do.
(And if they don’t reciprocate, you can always come back home and regroup.)
- Comment on Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel 4 months ago:
And that’s completely fine. I would advise on a cut-off date of around Oct 15. 2025. Your OS won’t receive any security updates after that and having it connected to internet at that point is going to be a major risk.
You have more than a year to prepare, though. Use it wisely. :)

Can you enlighten me on what is the 'already half-assed solution that is the control panel on Linux" [sic].
Far as I know, there are many a different approaches to half-assed solutions to contorl panels on Linux [sic].

What are your very high end multi channel audio cards that don’t play together with Jack?

Well, 10 is going away in about a year anyway, isn’t it. I don’t think they really care about 10 anymore.
