Thank you for sharing

I think he has a really good point. I consider myself acceptably tech literate, I’m not afraid of the command line even if I don’t really understand how to use it, I’ve built my own computers for years, and I have a pretty custom configuration of Windows.

One thing a windows user can typically be sure of is that if it’s meant to work, it probably will. There is a pretty black and white environment of what’s possible and what isn’t. Linux is very much more “give it a shot” style computing for beginners. It breaks much more easily, it can be very confusing to configure, and it’s just different.

I think if it similarly to cars. Some people, like myself, love driving, enjoy tinkering with the car, maybe drive a standard for they joy of it. But most people just want a car to take them to work and the store. Most people just want a computer to work, either for their job or their hobby, but the hobby isn’t tinkering with software. The fact that even the very packaged and polished distros can require more than basic tech literacy to configure is likely what turns a lot of people away, whether or not that’s actually the case.

And getting snippy saying somebody is butthurt (which is fucking homophobic btw) is absolutely going to keep pushing people away if they think the community is full of holier than thou Linux nerds that don’t understand how to communicate with normal people.

I’m currently experimenting with different distros right now and am having a similar experience to the person you are replying to.

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

You made your own problems in my opinion

My wife and I combined make less than 100k. We’re fine, just bought a house. Wtf are all y’all spending money on?

Nobody is catching the hint

Bill Clinton is still alive? What’s he up to these days?

No no, it’s a really nice narrow table in an entry hallway, typically with a drawer.

I wanted to be an electrical engineer, then I saw all the math and settled for electrician, then I saw all the math and settled for Janitor

Americans don’t actually hold an enforceable monopoly on stupidity, it just seems that way.

The fuck happened to your comment

Who wants to fuck a starfish?

You’re not fitting a 6 core processor and a **60esque card in a ssf case for less than $1k I don’t think, so even $900 is competitive

I guess if they’re electromagnets water could do some damage, but not to the magnet itself.

The Commander in Chief is spewing senile word salad daily now, I think there is value in highlighting as much of it as possible. He is stupid people’s idea of a smart person, and the more exposed he is as an actual idiot, the more people are exposed to his brain leaking out his ear, the more might have a chance of waking the fuck up.

I didn’t host it

I have a rifle and plenty of ammo for any of these idiots to borrow

A lot of us actually worry about paying rent and bills, affording groceries, and not being disappeared. We need robust networks of supply and support, cash reserves, food distribution, child care. Study previous guerilla tactics, adapt them to our environments, prepare. If one psycho just goes in guns blazing he’s going to be leveled. We need to start ACTUALLY getting organized, designating roles, practicing those roles, and drilling. It seems to me like a lot of people think it’s just going to be us fighting billionaires. They will very likely retain some portion of the military and paramilitaries will absolutely form quickly around those who can afford it. It’s going to be literal war, against the US military. We are far from prepared.
