Where did I say that I wasn’t going to vote? I’m voting Green. If there’s a good Democrat running for Congress, I’ll vote for them, too. This isn’t complicated.

I live in a blue state. Using that same logic, my vote for a Democrat is a wasted vote, because my state is going to go blue whether I vote for them or not.

I read a biography of Stallman several years ago. The whole free software movement was an attempt to preserve the early hacker culture where everybody freely swapped code. So, Stallman didn’t really “invent” FOSS; he just codified that early hacker ethos.

What was minix then? A non FOSS version?

It wasn’t FOSS, but then neither was Linux originally.

Wait…you think those are intuitive? Fuck no.

Who’s going to intuitively know that “long hand pointing at 2” means “10 minutes after the hour”? Also, having the long hand for minutes is super unintuitive when hours are longer than minutes.

Your instinct is wrong. If you want them to stop, you have to tell them to stop.

Yes, they will add you to other phone lists, but I think they’ll do that whether you text STOP or not. Also, it takes like 5 seconds.

GNOME + Debian

Into the trash it goes.

Were you asleep the first time he was in office? Read Project 2025. That’s what they plan on doing if he gets elected.

Context?

It was under a YouTube video where it was just the song and a cover picture.

Why would anyone think this band was “AI”?

That’s exactly my point.

It’s “thrash”, not “trash”.

Nobody wants Hillary to run. Not even Hillary.

Doing things the hard way doesn’t make you smarter.

Yeah, same, but I always set my editor to insert spaces instead when I hit Tab, so that the spacing won’t be different in other environments.

You’re always going to see people with problems in support forums. If your Linux system is running well, you’re less likely to post about it than if you’re having problems.

This is just a picture of text joke

I think you just described every “meme” I’ve ever seen.

Heck even having a specific window manager vs another can seem farfetched.

That’s unfortunate, because people can be turned off by GNOME and decide that “Linux sucks” without being aware that GNOME isn’t Linux, and they can have a different (better) experience using KDE.

You know, I enjoy using Linux and everything, but I have to quit and go back to Windows. Sorry, I don’t have a choice. I just can’t stand penguins.

but if someone with 20 years of IT experience gets this feed up with it, imagine how your average user would feel.

Do you think “your average user” would run into something like this? How many people are running 4 monitors?

Positivity is good. I would rather see 100 positive posts than one negative one, even if there’s a lot of redundancy. It helps encourage others to switch to Linux, which is good.
