2024-10-29 09:43:50 +0000 UTCYeah, I thought so for the video version. I do it on Youtube because there's no drawback, but I don't see the value in taking x% out of your donations for a video format that most people don't seem interested in!
The Linux Experiment
2024-10-29 09:12:16 +0000 UTCYeah, that's what I don't really want: I want my life to be dictated by my own needs, and the ones of my very close friends and family. i don't want to have to put anything on hold for an extended period of time, and that would probably mean I would resent my kids at some point or another, so it's probably better I follow my instinct, and don't have any :D
The Linux Experiment
2024-10-29 09:11:19 +0000 UTCYeah, we were young, and we both assumed we were clear enough on what we wanted... That's a mistake I won't do twice! As per Arch, i'd rather have a working system that doesn't require me to babysit it, so that's probably never happening :D

2024-10-29 09:10:24 +0000 UTCI would continue to listen to the audio version even if a video version would be available.

2024-10-28 17:15:38 +0000 UTCTo the topic of video: I don't need it and would like to keep the audio only. I usually listen to the patroncast when walking home and would not watch the video even if I could.

2024-10-28 17:07:44 +0000 UTCI can confirm people in the US have the same reaction to not having or wanting to have children. Any deviation from the norm disturbs people, with probably a bit of envy that you are able to make decisions they didn't think were "allowed". It's always easier to "go with the flow".

2024-10-28 15:55:00 +0000 UTCI can't fault you for not wanting to have kids (I disagree with you, but that's my thing). What I will fault you though is getting married before discussing that. Technically, it's your ex-wife fault as well. In the end, we all make mistakes. I really hope that you will come around and reconsider your choice... of not using Arch as a daily driver.

2024-10-28 15:42:56 +0000 UTCIt's cliché, but kids are different when they're yours. Having said that, kids are definitely not for everyone. It's hard, even if they are "perfect," so having a difficult child is a nightmare. Your life is now dictated by their wants and needs.

2024-10-28 13:55:09 +0000 UTCFirst off, based off the personality we see on here, you would make a great dad. That said, there is nothing wrong with choosing not to have kids. It should always be the choice of the couple and person. I would rather people understand they don't want children, than people having children only because they fell they should. I love my kids, they are mostly out of the house at this point, but a few of my friends never had any nor do they wish to. I have never thought anything about it. As far as the Video on Patreon for these podcasts, I don't see any benefit personally. I like the videos you do on Youtube for reviews and weekly news, but for podcasts like this, it doesn't make sense to me.
