The fact that he uses the word “judge” is very telling.

This is so heartwarming. I wish it weren’t necessary but thank you for being such a good person

Who dat?

Here’s the thing. Famous people have been going on and saying things like “Facebook is bad” for over a decade now. Those people you’re talking about already had the chance to get past entry level.

The “entry point” isn’t “listen to billionaires”. It’s “stop listening to billionaires”. These are two fundamentally opposite ideas so there’s no chance for the first to be an entry point to the second.

The tizen version is finally close to release. I don’t use a Samsung TV but in-laws do and I don’t like installing the dev version.

Entry level would be listening to scientists on news sites… not continuing to listen to billionaires on news sites. Their behavior has not changed one iota if they continue to listen to billionaires on the news.

If you aren’t interested in more parts of Linux or computers then you are likely not going to be reading this community. For example you made the comment, but you also state you have a home lab. So you’re at least partially interested in more.

Then by definition you are not in that category. You’re interested in more. So you both are interested in more and are in this community.

If you’re in that category you’re probably not in this community.

I mean it is a total lack of value, because it once again means that people listen to some rando on where our society should move towards rather than scientists. Facebook is bad for society. Don’t listen to founders, don’t listen to millionaires, don’t listen to billionaires. Listen to scientists.

If people actually listen to this dude and not to scientists, that’s an even bigger problem, because once again people are incapable of understanding value at a basic level.

He didn’t. He wanted to use x11. You are completely incapable of reading. My analogy makes more sense because it’s describing what he did.

Since copy on highlight is default you literally just have to accidentally drag your mouse cursor in a terminal window and boom, you’ve copied empty text. It’s incredibly annoying.

he got hardware that worked with the default setup for the majority of linux DEs at the time… he literally followed your suggestion and has been waiting for support for it in wayland for a decade.

this has to be the dumbest argument I’ve seen in a few months on here. you’re literally telling someone to sell their car because you want them to switch to a different kind of engine that currently isn’t compatible with their car, even though they haven’t wanted to switch to a new engine for a decade.

agreed. and middle click being paste has to be one of the stupidest defaults. I understand people use it, and whatever, everyone has their own workflow, but now middle click to drag doesn’t work and you’ve confused everyone since now it’s different everywhere.

it isn’t if you’ve copied from an empty field by accident, or if your clipboard is empty.

There are ways to report without having the cops come immediately, which would resolve that problem.

We have a pottery barn bedframe. Crazy overpriced, but solid hardwood and they have white glove service and will assemble for you in place. It’s not shown any sign of wear in more than 5 years.

You don’t have to call the cops to tell them to come. Simply file police reports for every thing that is happening. Eventually there will be enough evidence to stop him permanently without you having to flee.

Hopefully at least.

If he really did scream that loud, a neighbor reporting it wouldn’t be unlikely.

I mean I know how to choose a distro and there’s no way in hell I’d ever use that chart to choose one. In addition I don’t really need to ask my wife because I can guarantee she wouldn’t read a single line of it.

It’s not a hypothesis that the reason people don’t switch to Linux is because it’s too difficult for the layperson. If you give them a flowchart that’s larger than any flowchart they’ve ever seen before, before they even touch the operating system, there’s no way in hell they’re gonna use Linux.

Huh? A new user is going to have trouble understanding the base difference between gnome and kde. Flooding them with information about the history of all these operating systems will do nothing except to scare them off even more.
