Not that it’s Linux fault, but access to and compatibility with popular creative tools like Ableton or Adobe products.

Sure, it’s feasible to use Wine to run these products, but not in any professionally usable manner.

Yes, I am aware there are Linux-friendly alternatives, but they lack the plugins, compatibility, features, and quality of their industry~standard counterparts.

Your partner went through all of the gestation and labor herself; the least you can do is be the person who changes the diapers.

Men don’t always immediately bond with their newborn progeny. It’s ok, don’t feel guilty if you’re not head-over-heels in love with your baby for the first year or two.

If you’re ever feeling frustrated caring for your newborn, take a break. They will be fine if you leave them crying in their crib so that you can take a walk or do whatever you need to decompress and compose yourself.

Most pacifiers have bottle nipple mates. If your baby prefers one specific bottle or pacifier, buy the mate.

Most importantly, sleep deprivation and stress can cause significant mental health issues, specifically anxiety and depression. Your feelings are valid. If you’re having a hard time, ask for help.

In the mid 10s, I worked as the engineering director for a consultancy. My boss would openly brag about being able to hire women for a fraction of the cost of a man. I was so offended by this that I created a partnership with a coding academy for at-risk and underrepresented individuals just a few blocks away from our office. I made it my mission to hire as many women junior engineers as I could, just so that I could train them up and find them better paying jobs elsewhere.

Women engineers are out there, and I hope I’ve made the dating pool just a little bigger for you.

This hits hard. I was unemployed for ten months over the last 3 years. Fuck IPOs, valuations, and mass layoffs with no repercussions.

My current solution is a deemix cli tool and lidarr for cataloguing only. I match up the directory naming conventions on both so that nothing needs to be touched in Lidarr that might modify the tags. I have a few scripts that help with automating some of this. I might be motivated to put things in a repo if there is interest.
