I think it’s totally okay to ban you for crap like that. Maybe that’s why nobody makes me a mod any more 🤔

Anyway, you’re a transphobe.

raises trans, linux-using paw ^.^

Thanks for bringing this to my attention :3

Here’s a funky quad-simultaneous-wordle thingle @.@ https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/quordle/

This article stinks of ignorance and bellendness. Complaining about “modern” or “new” terms is always a huge red flag to me, so now I have to wonder, for example, whether the The Bright Sword character referenced does in fact use she/her. Oh noes, the setting wouldn’t have this one word! It does, of course, have the entirety of any English dictionary other than that word, though. Just the one is icky, like all of those pronouns the woke crowd keep _shoving down our throats! But the woke crowd don’t exist in that world! The whole damn world is drastically different but this one conveniently common language is almost identical! Couldn’t have been that they say “are with” instead of “have,” noooo, it’s one coincidentally “political” word that’s gotta go. That’s the one critical difference in “a fantasy setting divorced entirely from the real world” where they’d suddenly not say things the same way we would!

Does this person give a damn at all and have a crappy take, or just feel like spewing another “omfg woke newspeak agenda” wall of whinge onto… er, Forbes. Not the place I’d look first for sensible discussion of social matters. I guess a click is a click.

Well, something made me gay and trans >:3 wiggles queerly ^.^

And I did have cancer… 🤔 But all’ that happened whilst with my fashy right-wing parents who tried to protect me from all forms of modern medicine and sense. Maybe it’s the right whose ideas are crap and are ruining/killing America 💡

“Meh, another update post”
…
“Wait, I use that. What’s new?” 😅

(I’m just yapping and nitpicking the OP pic, don’t mind me unless you’re bored I guess 😅 )

A bunch of stuff I don’t recognize even with the name on it, lots of stuff that’s just the name itself. Visa’s in there twice. Bleh! Could’ve done better, I think.

That said, complaining that most people recognize more corporations than plants because we all hate nature and love corps is kinda ridiculous. I agree that humans generally are far too friendly to capitalism but recognizing, firstly, what’s present in the environment and secondly, threats present in the environment are important parts of human development. 80% of USians live in urban areas. I doubt this number is that much lower anywhere else the creator of that image would be complaining about. Which has more representation in urban areas: corporate logos or species of plants? Which is easier to learn the name of? (Hint: the pic in the OP shows numerous logos with company names in them)

I’m imagining a person comes by spraying herbicide and this person’s upset that I know the brand of the sprayer better than the plants that don’t grow where it goes.

Very agree here. Less and less is actually GNU, so by what metric do we have to include things? “GNU is an OS?” I’m running two at once? No, it’s three, some of this software comes from BSD. Or is it more? Maybe I’ve got tools developed on/from/for other OSes still! Hell, I’ve got Windows software on this system. Gotta tell everybody I’m running GNU and Linux and BSD and Windows and (…) 🤦

This naming “debate” is absurd.

I’m still annoyed there are few geology MOOCs around. I can take sixteen thousand courses on Python but I still don’t know the difference between dirt and soil 😤

What a weird comment. What do IT departments do if everything “just works?” Also, this isn’t a company. This is one random person saying Linux is bad for home users and always will be because they had one bad experience. Bug reports and actual requests for help are productive. “It didn’t work for me so it’s crap” is not. If some people having bad experiences doomed an OS then Windows would’ve died by now.

I’m literally asking people to prefer using us for tech support over dropping our nth rant this week about how Linux is crap because it upset them.

Also, we get every “it doesn’t work!!!” rant but few “Oh wow, it works just fine!” posts. Who wants to work on improving the “everyman” experience when they won’t be paid for it and the appreciation they get will be an email or two of thanks and people still insisting that Linux will always be crap because of every single thing they didn’t fix?

[Kinda rant] Knowing that those people are giving special treatment to some other OS… or rather, I suppose they’re giving special treatment to Linux. It’s the “hard” one, the “rough” one. If your wifi doesn’t work in Linux it’s because Linux is crap. If it doesn’t work in Windows it’s because of literally anything but Windows. Could be solar flares or Canadian government mind control waves or something. Not precious Microsoft Windows, though. Everything works on that! (Except when it doesn’t, then I get called because I’m the local “computer whiz” or, for one summer, a computer repair tech critter… with that little experience in the role I still saw drivers flaking out and taking down Windows systems)

Anyway, what do we get from “Linux will never be mainstream because my wifi doesn’t work” or any other “Shut up about your stupid crappy OS” type thing that we don’t get from a more cooperative approach? A bug report, or a request for help, or just “here are my experiences?” I suppose what I’m getting at is…

tl;dr: Bashing is useless and annoying, nothing is permanently crap because one person had a bad experience. …Especially when another person had a bad experience with any available alternative. Sharing is sharing but “It sucks!” n times per week is discouraging and counterproductive.

Maybe constructive communication courses should be mandatory worldwide if something that amounts to “Your stupid OS doesn’t work for me so it’s never going to work for anyone [who isn’t a nerd with infinite spare time to fix it all’ the time]!” is how people think to ask for help.

My point being, this isn’t a request for help. This is yet another nuisance post by someone who’s come to punish “the Linux community” for some problem they had. It’s unproductive, unamusing, inflammatory, and on top of all’ that it’s redundant: we get this crap often.

[Goofy reference to goofy thing https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.en.html ] Something tells me that cal is the standard text-based calendar 😅

There’s also free, easy access to a major open source OS and its devs! … Maybe it’s just wishful thinking that they’ll be able to kang a bunch of useful stuff off’ Linux 😅 Useful design structures or something, despite the different overall kernel design.

I don’t even like Rust, I just like new things 😅 Am excited to see where, if anywhere, it goes. Will be glad to see some success getting past C. … Which I don’t dislike; I just like new things 😁 I hope and expect that good comes of Redox regardless of its success, which definitely is a possibility.

😡

All(ium) Cepas Are Bastards? 🤔 😅

Idunno, my mom told me not to talk to _stranger_s 🤔

… She said a lot of things that were BS, though, so maybe you’re cool I guess? 🤷

I’ll never forget attending CS courses with a guy who got violently angry at having to write code. I assume he’s either thrilled with Copilot or in prison for attacking somebody over its failure to reliably write all of his code for him.

not many people in the world who understand this code.

Kinda sounds like maybe he writes some freaky garbo C that nobody can figure out 😅

There’s so much in place to keep people from getting help but paying people to shoot us and not even bother to make up their own lies about it, no problem!

What the fuck.
