Counterpoint - When I was in University more than 80% of the kids in Canadian medical school were on their way to the states the day they started their last year.

American recruiters would come up and sell their schools to Canadian doctors to be by showing them exactly how much money they would make compared to staying home.

Meaningful to whom?

I've gotten at least 50% off compared to the day I wishlist something on every game that I've waited on a sale for. I know this because I only buy wishlist stuff when it is at least 50% off

smartass

I can sit on ice cream and tell you the flavour.

Sincerely though - I was just being an ass. I didn't intend any actual offense. I Apologize. And I am not one of those downvotes.

I always trust any group where the 'main thing' that will get you kicked out is ... telling the truth.

Incurious fools

That is one heck of a reply. Thank you kindly for your time.

I had a look around and none of my weird little pocket scripts interact directly with X anymore.

And it looks like an easy decision to reverse with just a session swap, so why not.

Thanks for the push.

There will be enough people asking this as a joke, but I am very serious. Is it actually time to move on from X11 for everyone?

I have been using linux since a couple months after Linus put the first bits of code on an ftp. I have been mainlining it since 1999 and it has been my entire career since 2009.

I have been through all the iterations. The svsV's, the runits, the systemd's. And while I don't enjoy a ton of change I did get over it for all of these and still feel 'at home'.

But for wayland? I have never even tried. I just see everyone saying you are fucked if you have X or Y hardware, or if you require A or B legacy workflows.

Is NOW really the time for old codgers to give it a serious go?

The only correct answer

#Create a dir and cd into it
mkcd() { mkdir -p "$@" && cd "$@"; }

Atheist here. Married a Christian who was into missions, taught Sunday school, etc...

Love is love and we don't choose who we fall in love with.

I never once tried to convert her, or call out her beliefs. But over time (she was from a small religious (mennonite) town) she came to see on her own how the indoctrination was just a cover for a lot of evil shit that went down in the church, and in its name.

She is no longer Christian, and veers towards agnosticism, but when pressed would say she is now more aligned with animism, or the idea that nature is the only 'face' of a god that is not a conscious being, but is just the culmination of all the processes in nature.

I am so hardcore. Like Quickdraw McGraw. Fuck what you heard, you ain't heard this before.
