This is a good point, or at least a specific example of a problem that is a good point... It started with GNOME and Canonical, but it seems like more and more OSS devs are getting into that same mindset of "Quiet, users, the devs know what's best for you" to justify an utter lack of configurability, while simultaneously smashing usability with idiotic changes like the above.

Odd. When I called the support line (which I always do in the case of an outage, to see if the recording tells me it's a known issue) at around 9AM Eastern, the Estimate restoration was 7PM. Obviously, they beat that by several hours.

Maybe it's a regional thing, but I usually get estimates, even if they do go a little heavy on the Scotty coefficient.

It's not about fairness, it's about reality. The mom needs more time as she is recovering from the labor. Plus she is often the primary care taker and can get exhausted easily.

This canard keeps getting brought up, and it just makes no sense.

Momma has to "recover from labor" and "can get exhausted easily?" Well, it's a damn shame that pop isn't treated like a parent instead of an ambulatory ATM, then, or he could be there to do some of those changings and feedings so that mom could rest and recover, isn't it?
