He does content? He can be a bit aggressive about his topics, that can rub people the wrong way.

I don’t think he did anything offensively, legally or morally wrong.

I know just he exists, I don’t follow his content.

my take on this whole thing is:

… and there it is! A tool to fix the fallout of the practice of always using venvs and always version pinning.

Nice.

I have no need for this kind of tool, because I don’t have version conflicts. Does this manage my dependencies in other ways?

No idea what .in is.

.txt is split out into .lock and .unlock.

Are they still .txt or is there a new file standard for .lock and .unlock?

pyproject.toml

.toml,

The only thing you have to unlearn is being so timid.

No, that’s… against community rules :) I don’t like the common use of venvs or .toml very much and I don’t like their use by other people and “timid” is also diplomatic. So you’re getting timid, and we get to get along and we can agree to disagree on the use of .venvs and we can wish each other a pleasant day.

Depends on how smart she is.

To not sabotage things, you can always leave it at a “mix of luck, talent and hard work”. And you’re working hard, and maybe you even have luck, but step dad might have all three.

If she’s smart, you can drop the whole thing on her: first of all, you love her, her mom loves her, her step dad hopefully does too or at least likes her and that has nothing to do with money. Then you can just be transparent on how much you earn, how much time that means in effort, and how much “lots of money” takes to earn. Then you can just do some math, and her step dad’s numbers won’t add up.

It’s a sensitive topic though, you can say your piece, communicate with your ex and the step dad about that she asked and what you said. They might have a different take.

Might even spin it into making her think about what she wants to do in the future.

It shouldn’t feel forever. I like that the longest part of booting my PC is the grub selection for my dual boot setup. I have an older laptop that takes about 2 minutes to boot. Not a deal breaker, but a noticeable delay.

I don’t really care.

But it being snappy sure feels good. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 feature making the setup unattractive, 5 being indifference, 10 being super important, booting fast is a 6.

idk, I’ve been using xubuntu for more than 10 years now, I’m not happy with absolutely everything, but the trouble I do have is definitely less effort to fix than learning a new, more elaborate distro.

So, it’s a pretty good, common denominator, and as long as it keeps working it doesn’t really need to be anything else?

I’m sure there are differences and niches that other distros fulfill better, but until there is a killer feature I’m interested in that only works on a specific distro or works extremely well on a different distro, I don’t see the “push” factor that would make me leave?

(btw, that there is no “report bugs here” button that’s just built into the window manager (besides the -,+,x buttons) and takes me to project home pages or bug trackes is wild to me, on any distro as far as I know. Like they don’t want to interact with users? I don’t get it.)
