  • Honestly, yeah. I get that social interaction is awkward for some people. I myself have Asperger’s (shut the fuck up, Cartman, I see your pudgy ass back there fidna pipe up), and I’ve never found people easy to understand. I think there really needs to be an initiative to teach people, normal people, how to use this stuff, and it doesn’t start by being an asshole. It starts by giving a shit and answering questions if you know the answers, or by helping people understand what might be going wrong. Even a word or two is helpful for beginning a Google search, but you have to know what you’re looking for in order to start looking for it.

    RTFM

    The battlecry of everyone that bitches that people aren’t willing to use Linux but won’t bother to meet them where they are.

    Does it ever occur to you that people often don’t even know what they need to Google? Half the time I do Google something, it comes to some forum or Reddit post of someone screaming READ THE FUCKING MANUAL, but not even giving that user some hint what they’re even looking for in your religious scriptures.

    You want people to use Linux? You need to meet them where they are, not take it as an opportunity to show how smart much of a smartass you are.

    Be better than that.













  • Honestly, atleast you all know how to open issues on GitHub. The amount of times I see people try to report issues in Discord, either for other apps or my own, is kind of staggering, and when you tell them to open an issue in GitHub, the response is often “well I don’t know how to use GitHub, GitHub is complicated, why is everything on GitHub? Why can’t you just give us the app instead of requiring us to compile from source‽ wah wah wah wah wah wah wahhhhhh”



  • I don’t know anyone on this side of the aisle that supports that, atleast no one i talk to.

    However, i do absolutely see righties using it as a catch-22. In your mind, it plays like this:

    Support Israel: Complicit in Genocide

    Support Palestine: Antisemitic

    Support apathy: Complicit in Genocide

    So no, your opinion doesn’t matter to me because it can never be anything but negative.
