Not this shit again Todd Howard

Effort is not really a part of the equation for a lot of people. Usually it’s just “I don’t want to switch”.

That’s great but this does not account for the dynamics of a Discord server.

Let’s say 8 people are hanging out in Discord, playing games or whatever. Should I then message all 8 of them a link to join a separate voice chat? The response would be “no, just join Discord of you want to talk”. That also requires me to know who are in the call (therefore already using Discord anyways), since if I just message one or two of them I would be splitting the party, which they won’t do.

The whole “hanging out in Discord and whoever wants to join just joins” dynamic is difficult to replace with a zoom-type voice chat that requires you to initiate a call with a link.

I have already tried switching people to signal from Facebook messenger. Didn’t work. All it takes is one person to not want to switch and the whole group will end up going back. And that’s just a messaging service. Discord is way more complicated to switch from since it is more of an all-in-one thing.

Counterpoint: My friends don’t use them (and won’t switch)

Servers don’t get paid enough

That part is true though

A terminal file manager like ranger is pretty useful

This gets posted like once per week and this is inaccurate as shit.

“Wayland is bad, it can’t run xorg programs”

Ok but there is an exact copy of the program that is made for Wayland. It’s the same argument that Windows users use to discredit Linux .

“Linux is bad because it can’t run programs that were made for Windows”

My favorite part is where he admits to being mad without even knowing what Wayland is.

Edit: When I wrote the above, I didn’t really realize what Wayland even was, I just noticed that some distributions (like Fedora) started pushing it onto me and things didn’t work properly there.

Isn’t this basically what happens in that x-men movie when magneto breaks out of prison?

Someone is mad that GNOME got a 1 000 000 € grant from the government and is blaming trans people

History and cookies are not generally a security vulnerability. Cookies can be a vulnerability but only if the hacker gets access to your device somehow, either by stealing it or through a virus for example. You don’t really have to worry about cookies or history for security reasons, only privacy reasons.

I had a surface pro 4 with Linux for several years. The install process is a bit annoying since you need to get the custom surface kernel but other than that it worked great. I had a lot of issues with the hardware (unrelated to Linux), but I’ve heard that it has gotten better with the newer versions

Ah yes, the good ol’ “I have depicted you as the bad wojak and me as the good wojak therefore I am correct”.

What game is this?

Nah Pringles are mid at best. Weak flavor, ok texture, too high price. I dont need any artisanal shit, pretty much anything else is better than Pringles.

I’m clearly out of the loop. What’s up with YandereDev? I’ve heard his name before but that’s it, what did he do?

Roundabouts are great but it’s expensive to convert a crossing to a roundabout, not to mention difficult since the traffic needs to be rerouted during construction. In the most congested areas it’s almost impossible, which is ironically where it is needed the most

I feel like this metaphor is getting out of hand

Not necessarily. If you know that your pants are at the bottom then you can just plunge your hand into the pile and grab them without any searching.

🚫 Insulting the intelligence of the recipient by way of apology:

• “I’m sorry for not being more clear”
• “I’m sorry about being so misleading”

How are those insulting? Saying that I should have been more clear means I am the one who messed up by not communicating properly. Something like “sorry that you misunderstood” would be insulting since it places the blame on the recipient’s intelligence.
