What is "shutting down"?

Does anyone have concrete info on the offer and why it was rejected? Reading between the lines, it sounds like some of the issues were:

• 24% is a lot, but doesn't bring them back to where they were 16 years ago when their last general wage deal happened
• Contract reduces or removes performance incentives, which might reduce take-home pay overall
• Some employees are mad that their pension was taken away a decade ago
• They don't trust Boeing to keep it's promise about building the next commercial jet in the region

Anything else?

The bigger deal is how many customers will react worse if you engage with them in any way. If that weren't the case, pointing to the hours, shaking your head, etc, would be reasonable.

My wife worked at a rental office for an apartment building and had the same experience.

Whether they're directly caused by an ADHD neurotype or not, all those things are associated with ADHD

To pick one at random, Rejection Sensitive Disphoria (RSD) is often found with people who have ADHD. People dealing with RSD often imagine rejection where none was intended. That includes reading negative feelings into text messages, conversations, etc.

(CAVEAT: I am not an expert. This is not my professional field. This is speculation from someone who has ADHD and is around ADHD kids) I don't know if there's good research out there or not about RSD+ ADHD, but I suspect RSD is conditioned. Growing up with ADHD, you get a lot of negative feedback from people. You aren't paying attention well enough, you're often clumsy, you often say the wrong things at the wrong time, etc. With enough of that sort of feedback, developing negative self talk which turns into full RSD sounds like a natural outcome.

What if I like ellipses...

No. As a general rule with all software, you purchase a license to use the software, not the actual software itself. That being said, GOG and Itch.io can't yank games that you've already downloaded. I don't know if Steam does or not, but it probably can.

That's not exactly how it works. There are "territorial waters" which are entirely under the control of the state. And there is the "exclusive economic zone" (EEZ) outside of that, where the state has rights to resources. But the surface is "international waters". This incident happened in the EEZ.

Here's another plug for gitea. It's lightweight, but still has a nice feature set.

I tried hosting GitLab a number of years back, but it was more resource hungry than my host machine could handle well.

Nothing new. Nothing recent. Just people being scared of something because they don't know how it works or because it's relatively new.

Major distros have started adopting it in recent years. It's one of many ways for a distro to manage which services are running. Many of the others are essentially a hodgepodge of shell scripts.

systemd provides a lot of flexibility with service dependencies and logging, amount other things. It has a standard way to have user-scoped services. It's standardizes filtering logs for specific services.

+1 for Plex and Plexamp. The Plexamp app works great on Android and Linux. Without that, I don't think I'd use Plex for music.
