Pew Research being less trash than other pollsters is not the same thing as it not being trash at all.

It sounds to me like the toolchain to build apt itself, not stuff packaged by it.

Do any of those architectures even still have new CPUs being designed for them in the last decade or so?

If all you want is file sharing, like the blog post author wants, I don’t understand what’s wrong with something like a plain old SFTP server.

The weaker (permissive instead of copyleft) license alone is a reason to be suspicious of both the project and OP. At this point, it’s just telegraphing plans to eventually go proprietary and enshittify.

My neighborhood has seen a steady increase in trick-or-treating over the last decade since the gentrifiers (including me, TBH) have started having kids.

If Trump were actually illiterate, why would he keep a book of Hitler’s speeches next to his bed?

Checkmate, liberal!

with hidden post history

only in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.

I think that’s a point that deserves more attention. Considering the “long tail” of niche communities and that the propaganda surely isn’t evenly distributed, it’s very possible that the big default and political subs are mostly propaganda and other shilling at this point.

Ohhhhhhhhh, now I see it.

I’m confused at what I’m looking at here. Is that a carpet with a cartoon rat on it hung on an exterior wall? Why?

A skit? Is that unusual?

I’ve been trying to learn French so maybe it doesn’t quite count anymore, but I really enjoy Papaoutai – both the original Stromae version and this Pentatonix cover that introduced me to it – as well as various other songs by Stromae.

Yeah it’s a tough switch. It’s a lot like getting out of a relationship that you know isn’t gonna work, but every time you go to end it you think “hey it isn’t that bad right NOW is it?” and put it off.

A clean break would be faster and easier for everybody involved.

Exactly! And having enablers of that toxic relationship, like the person quoted in that other post, scolding people for making that exact point only makes the situation even worse.

I was using “you” in the general sense the same way the post I was quoting used it, not to address @prettybunnys in particular. In fact, I’m well aware that specific-you was not among the general-“you” I was addressing, as I referenced people with “your [Windows] problems” and specific-you had made it clear that you’re a Linux user. (Cute tattoo, BTW, although I’d have believed you even without the picture.)

Anyway, I apologize for not making that clear enough. I should’ve noted it explicitly like I did in this other comment, but I thought the context was sufficient. Or maybe I just got lazy, and have no good excuse. Either way, personally attacking you was not what I intended.

First of all:

Just use this other thing instead” has never been a good faith solution

Bullshit. That is very often an excellent solution!

Second, the thing this post was made in response to is as follows, and I quote:

Sometimes people just want to be able to complain about Windows or iOS without being told about Linux.

…

If the obvious reply to the post is “use Linux,” as a rule, do not post that. You are not adding anything.

I counter with this: if you [speaking generally, the same way the the original post was – not referring to @prettybunnys specifically] know the obvious reply you’re gonna get is “use Linux” and you don’t want to hear it, don’t fucking post your complaint in the first place because you [again, speaking generally] aren’t adding anything! You [still speaking generally] are not entitled to complain and then tone-police the responses you solicited! Who the fuck do you [even more speaking generally] think you are, to believe that you have the right to bother us publicly with your problems [continuing to speak generally, and that part makes it obvious because “your problems” refers to Windows problems and @prettybunnys apparently has a Tux tattoo] but we don’t have the right to ‘bother’ you with the solutions to them in response?! How is that behavior anything other than incredibly toxic and condescending?

So let me get this straight: Linux users trying in good faith to help people are obnoxious, but Windows users who bitch and moan and refuse to take responsibility for their self-inflicted problems somehow aren’t?

Did you actually see the thing this was posted in response to? It was about scolding Linux users for even politely suggesting switching, which is the bare minimum to even begin to try to help solve the complainers’ real problem (corporate enshittification) instead of just the symptom du jour they were complaining about at any given moment.

Don’t scold us for trying to help you and then have the utter fucking gall to try to police our tone instead of your own!
