Trillions of packages delivered successfully, but because some idiot thought waxpaper was a good packing for cookies we should throw out that system? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how such a system would work at that kind of throughput.
Why not be the change you wish to see, then? Fork it, and surely they will come.
That or Linus’ work is of high enough quality that people are willing to put up with his crass behavior.
Also, somewhat unrelated, but comparing Linus to Elon is a nonstarter. Elon has money, but contributes little more than ego past that. Linus, on the other hand, actually gets his hands dirty. I don’t care for his behavior, but I do respect someone who actually does the work.
You’re right he can be a bit crass without needing to be. The outcome of his methods is exemplary, though.
Gotta install the last star from snap, I bet.
Put a banner outside saying “no gratuity necessary, the price you see is the price you pay!” and watch what happens.
LMAO What a take! Thanks for the laugh.
The last several lines are so insanely unhinged, completely untethered from reality lol.
Also, when this guy learns about X11 vs Wayland he’s doing to die of an aneurysm.
Oops, missed a dash, so now you’ll have to come back and finish.
By your guidance I just took action, we’ll see what comes of it.
If you think using big words and calling people childish names is making a coherent argument then there’s really nothing to be done here…
I didn’t say I didn’t want to contribute willingly, I said I didn’t want to spend my time engaging trolls and unsavory individuals. I’d rather they fade into obscurity and get on about my day.
Go ahead and reread it if you need proof, it’s all up there.
Bruh I’m just trying to scroll through interesting posts and interact with people worth having a discussion with. If you get off putting people in their place all day then feel free to sort by lowest score or whatever mechanism eventually appears.
If you want to change someone’s mind you aren’t going to do it by putting them on the spot and belittling them for it. That just backs a person into the corner and makes them double down. The whole “I’d rather be Russian than Democrat” is perfect example of this.
If you want to make them change their ways then just ignore their desperate pleas for attention. Kids don’t earn the right to sit at the grown up table by acting like kids, but eventually they mature and learn nuance and that earns them a seat.
Yep exactly. It also doesn’t make a damned bit of difference that you’ve worded it so clearly a lawyer could cry, and made them agree to a simple acknowledgement.
It’s because here downvotes don’t push you to the bottom of the stack, and that needs to change. At least on Reddit you could bury the trolls.
Just remember that because the face you see is always smiling doesn’t mean they truly enjoy their life. For all you know they’re so burned out and miserable, over the stress, and would kill to go back to a less stressful life.
We all have a tendency to see the grass as greener on the other side.
Absolutely. Computers are great at picking out patterns across enormous troves of data. Those trends and patterns can absolutely help guide policymaking decisions the same way it can help guide medical diagnostic decisions.
You wish lol. In truth they can serve this to as many users as they want, and catch garbage outlier responses.
