Huh, this is the only one I’ve never heard of so far. Guess I’ll give it a go next time 🤷‍♂️

What a horrible title 🤢

Maaaaybe if I’m moving whole paragraphs around? But even then I’d probably cut and paste

And these social media outbursts aren’t accomplishing what they think they’re accomplishing.

I’m extremely technical, but not actively into Linux, though I’ve set up various distros dozens up times. These posts have driven me away from Linux in an extremely hard way - anyone with opinions like the Kernel team simply don’t deserve support, and Linus is clearly past his prime and making bad decisions. This has shown me that Linux is going to (likely already has) slowly stop improving due to its explicitly anti-progress leadership. Until a fork with good leaders manages to take a real market share, the OS will stagnate.

I’m sure this is a minority opinion, but to claim that the social media blitz hasn’t had its intended effect is objectively false. Fuck the kernel team.

Obviously shitty, but you seem to understand that and are working to stop. Nobody was permanently or seriously harmed, and you’re working on making reparations to the person that you harmed the most, even if they don’t know it.

Sounds like you were a shitty kid that didn’t know better, and that you’ve gained some forethought. Sucks that it mostly came from fear of consequences for yourself instead of empathy to others, but it also seems like you’re on the right path.

It’s okay to grow and to learn how to be a better person. Keep going. Seconding the other commenter that suggested therapy - even if not directly about this.

Yay for the American oligarchs

Why not both?

I’m guessing B will happen first, just because we have so much more control of the environment, but we’re still so far away from either one… Maybe I’ll get to see the early stages sometime in my life.

I remember reading through the entire thing in one sitting… it is LONG. You can’t look away

That doesn’t sound super optional

Definitely air, but towels are probably second

And he doesn’t understand why he’s always tired

It sounds like they’re deeply invested in their hobby (which is great) at the expense of other things (which is not great), and I’d say that is relatively common. It’s a shame that it isn’t a hobby that you share, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing.

When you say “let’s just sit and talk,” what are you trying to talk about?

I guess I’m a little confused… why are there duplicates at all? What operation are you performing that ends with duplicates?

Is this drive just where you download them to, and then move them to your organized drive? Why do the books ever touch this drive at all? If there isn’t supposed to be media on the drive, why not just delete the source folder after the organization task is complete?

lol, that pansy has never done a day of hard work in his life.

Do you donate to FOSS software you use?

I do. Are there any other strawmen you’d like to throw at me?

And looking at the worst case scenerio of a political system is exactly what you should do

That’s a strawman version of my words and you know it. A lynch mob is not actually a valid example of a democracy without simplifying literally every part of it, in the same way that a death cult shouldn’t be considered a valid simplification of communism.

Using the most extreme example of a political system as a bad example is just plain fucking stupid. What system do you propose? I’m positive that I can find an example of that being a nightmare with virtually no effort.

DrLupo. I watched him a bunch when he was on twitch, but he got kinda arrogant and negative over the years. Now I watch the people he used to play with before he changed 🤷‍♂️

Being suspicious of people in hoodies isn’t racist 🙄 if you only got nervous around black people in hoodies, then sure, but there’s nothing wrong with being cautious of people who are concealing their identity. They might not be wearing it for that reason, but that’s still something it does.

This is not even remotely new for Nintendo, and is exactly how they have always reacted to fan games 🤷‍♂️
