fucking shoulders… I had a rotator cuff that was hell for 6 years. I’m perfectly fine now, but I refuse to reach behind and to the right in the car to this day.

It’s not, AND these are “guidelines”, which will amount to nothing.

Hell it doesn’t even need to be about lady bits for doctors to be dismissive. My wife has been through 3 GP’s trying to get some hip pain looked at. Finally found one that would at least do imaging, but they just kinda shrugged it off while she can’t even go foot over foot up/down steps.

She finally said screw it and went right to a PT. They had it 50% better two sessions later.

The real kicker? The GP’s who both blew her off were women.

Not sure about GPT, but copilot is starting to give you less depth in answers. If I asked it something a year ago about a config entry, It would give me what I needed and a sample of it in use. It’s now pretty minimal in it’s answer, which is ok, but it was kind of nice to get more context. If you ask it to add debug statements, it’ll often just list a few lines without context of where they go. It’s kinda nice to ask something to create debug statements in a couple hundred lines of code rather than manually going back through a bunch of nested loops.

Every other post in the Usenet days used to be RTFM. Eventually, enough ExpertsEx/StackEx/Reddit posts (or youtube videos) answered it well enough to drown that out, but you still need a level of proficiency to know what to ask, and there are precious few newb forums.

I think the worst of it now is ethos problems. People are coming in from Windows, wanting to do it the Windows way, and they catch a lot of shit for it. How do I do A without the terminal, Linux is shit because you have to use the terminal. Linux is too hard. The second worst is infighting over distros like they are sports teams. Next up is the all or nothings, You can’t game on linus vs you can absolutely play anything worth a damn on linux.
