Oof, that’s rough. Guess I didn’t miss out when we stopped using it back in the day. Although…at that shop, we switched to Jira. What a mess.

At the time, I really appreciated the simplicity of Trello. Nothing else I’ve used has come close. Working as a programmer, I really just want a simple system.

Oh, good to know! I def don’t use it every day, but I did use it for something yesterday. I’ve been using it since before Windows had zip handling integrated with Explorer; I still like having the extra options it gives me.

Oh, dear. Trello enshittified? :( I thought it was really cool when we used it for a project at work back in … oh, maybe 2016? Way too long ago.

This sent me down a little rabbit hole, lol.

January '93 - NCSA Mosaic released.

April '94 - Mosaic corp founded.

October '94 - Netscape browser released.

November '94 - Mosaic corp renamed Netscape corp

June '97 - Netscape Communicator released.

September '02 - Phoenix released

May '03 - Phoenix renamed to Firebird

February '04 - Firebird renamed to Firefox

I couldn’t find any indication that there was any code in common between NCSA Mosaic, Netscape, and/or Phoenix.

7zip, notepad++, ScreenShotAssistant, git

Eh, I’ll still count it. Even if it’s not a formal “mortgage” from a bank, it’s still a loan to buy a house.

People with rich parents own homes…

Wait, I own a home, and my parents aren’t rich…

Well…I didn’t think so when I was growing up, and my parents divorced when I was in high school, so that colored my perceptions a bit…

OTOH…my dad went on a 10-month “world cruise” two years ago, and my mom is wealthy enough to snowbird. Still, my childhood was “a normal-seeming house in Small Town USA, going to public school”. Hardly gold-plated.

Because their parents gave them the down payment

I bought my first house at age 28, no direct help from my parents (in before “but check your privileged upbringing!”). I won’t whine about how I don’t have enough money, though. I budget and save pretty aggressively.

coastal USA

Yeah, that’s fair. I’m firmly in MCOL flyover country. Completely different world for housing than the bay area or NYC.

Does it really count as owning if you have a mortgage? (partly tongue-in-cheek, but only partly)

Edit: Bah, someone else already made this smart remark. That’s on me, I didn’t read the whole thread before posting.

Edit again to answer your “how common” question: Most of my older friends/relatives/acquaintances own their homes. Most of those younger than me do not. Or maybe it’s 50/50 by now? I’d have to make a list and try to count, but that’s too much trouble for a lemmy comment.

Tie one on? I don’t think that mixes with driving…

This has me thinking of that old TV show Dollhouse.

better than the alternative

Ha, I always say this in response to anything about getting old.

Life sucks sometimes, but sometimes it’s good. I hold out hope for more good parts. I try to hold to a certain saying:

“If you’re going through hell…keep going!”

The horrors persist, but so do I.

An old gaming buddy suggests

“Peachy”

Adjust your tone of voice to suit the day.

Dungeons and Dragons and OSHA inspectors, oh my!

Gulp…

Mood.

I don’t have many. I mostly abuse the tab bar instead. Naughty, I know.

I can’t believe it bothers me as much as it does, but…

WTF happened to the sword? It disappears after panel 1

That works, too!

I’ve never been one of the cool kids…
