This is a false equivalence. OP’s post is saying that nobody, ever, should try to suggest Linux as an alternative to the problems- ethical, moral, or technical, with windows.

And your stance is 'Well that seems about right, because there might be a post or two out of dozens or even hundreds that’s slightly mean."

My man, that has nothing to do with anything.

OP’s post is basically saying “I want the internet to be all about me. I don’t like seeing people suggest Linux, it should go away, I don’t want to hear about it, and everyone should do as I say.” and that’s not a stance that should ever be supported.

You say ‘are you giving people the same level of understanding you expect to receive from others’ and it goes both ways. Guess what, I don’t want to hear about people whining about how much Windows sucks ass for the hundred thousandth time when there are easy, better alternatives that they refuse to use. I’m not sitting here asking to be the main character of the internet though and demanding nobody ever talk about Windows problems ever again because ‘they know what Windows is’ or some nonsense like he is.

Like, I get the stance you’re trying to come from here, and it’s a laudable one, but you’re falling for the old trick of ‘well, different views from mine can be valid! We should consider them equally!’

And that’s true… up to the point where that view is trying to quash other views. That’s the only view you can’t consider- is a view that attempts to eliminate other views. Paradox of tolerance (or contract of tolerance) in action. Used for a far sillier thing that usual, granted.

Yep. I broke my wrist, pretty much the same thing happened. I figured I just pinched a nerve, was going about my shit until I finally got badgered into going and getting an X-Ray.

Turns out, broken. Whoops.

No problem, thanks for being receptive!

Modern day breakers are better about failing safe than they used to be, but… still not an intended use, and all it takes it one bad roll of the dice and everyone gets to have a Bad Day. Hence me viewing them, much like you, as things Not To Mess With Unless Needed. :P

Just so you know, breakers are not on/off switches. Turning them on/off like that is awful for them, they degrade every time they’re tripped. The result of it is, best case, everything on the circuit eventually get destroyed because it’s doing weird shit to the electricity going through it because of a bad connection. Worst case scenario is that it can no longer trip when it should and your entire neighborhood burns down.

I did, and even rechecked it just now- not a single person says using journalctl is tedious. A few say it doesn’t give them the data they actually are needing, but nobody is randomly hating on journalctl.

Why make things up? Why lie? Not a single person argued that typing journalctl was too tedious, let alone OP.

Speaking from experience… Yes. Absolutely yes.

A massive, massive astroturfing campaign Epic Games paid for in hopes of tarnishing Valve and Gabe Newell’s reputation to try and bolster their failure of a shop ecosystem.

Unfortunately, it worked, because there are people on the net who don’t remember the and days before steam, or even the initial versions of steam that people had Actual problems with, and not just made up ones.

No, it’s much simpler- distro maintainers moved to it because it’s simpler for them to roll out, and they don’t get blamed for the problems.

That’s a nice big load of nonsense you have there. Unfortunately for you, it’s already been proven that Chinese interests are funding anti-american/Republican think tanks, non profits, and politicians.

I take issue with Americans taking their business to foreign governments that are happily and gleefully accelerating the corruption of said domestic powers into the exact behavior that is causing Americans to want to shop elsewhere.

It’s going “I dislike how my government is treating me, so I’m going to support the people that are contributing to why my government is treating me that way.”

Nice straw man.

Good, that means you’re smarter than all the people in this thread using it.

Imagine being so addicted to low effort effort memes destroying your attention span that, given an opportunity to break free, you double down and prostitute yourselves to a hostile foreign power.
