I thought the orange man was supposed to be a leader in fertilization.

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.

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.

Well, I thought I might go for an oranger color and rhetoric for a change, but what do I know!

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.

Had the Conservative conservatives and the Liberal conservatives. Could we get the New Democratic communists for a change?

Well. 'most' is a difficult denominator. What they were saying in that 4 day, 8-hours per day, multiple voices speaking (except a Palestinian voice, and I'm with you there) does seem to resonate with a whole lot of people. Now, is it most or not, I guess we'll just have to wait until November to see. Be some excitement in St. Petes too, no?

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.)
