In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.

And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.

You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.

This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.

We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.

That the folks in IT have any sway over microsoft or facebook’s ui plans.

NO Karen, I can not make Teams go back to the way it used to be. No matter how many times you ask.

You mean MC has something other than peaceful mode? Weird. I should try that one day.

Ducati.ms will be your best friend.

Yeah, I’m a little bit too much into motorcycle forums…

And motorcycles!

Shameless plug for the triumph bobber forum and triumphrat if you are into those bikes.

No pat, wingnut dishwashers, or johnny hobo. Turn in your crustpants!

/s - obviously :)

Lol. Dig it!

Fair enough.

Do you know the meme with the knucklehead on the left at the bottom of the bell-curve, the smashed brain moron at the top, and the sage at the right?

With this comment you are very close to coming off as the smashed brain moron at the top of the curve.

Everyone has preferences, but your preferences do not map to you being superior in any way. And just as importantly - you are also a beginner to some people. It would serve you well to remember that.

I can dig this. I actually have a '59 mercury in mind for the job. But with my current resources it is like a ten year project. With unlimited resources I’d be on it right now :)

Electrifying a 1950s pickup truck. The work would be fun, and the outcome would be superbly useless with almost no range. But I would do it if I had the resources.

Taking weed to BC (Canada)

I’m seeing a lot of “ai” generated trash in the paper now :(

Fair enough. Cheers,

The ‘them’ in your first comment was pretty obviously about the lemmy admins on those servers profiting from doom scrolling. Now you are talking about “news” sites selling your data.

This sounds like something you made up to not be wrong. It is ok to be wrong. Just incorporate the new info and move on.

Earns them more what? There are no ads here unless you locked yourself into an app that pushes them.

The periphery of small towns covered in makeshift tents and shanty style campers would disagree with your statement.

These encampments used to be for seasonal workers passing through. But more and more become year-round all the time.

You are certainly correct about the bulk of homeless making their way towards the cities, but there are a growing number of those who don’t.
