I never said I, nor do I, expect shit from anyone. I don’t blame people for not knowing how it works. This is exactly why I teach people with patience and understanding. Your assuming a lot of things about my stance based of your image of certain linux people. Please read what people actually say, thank you.

PS.

People know I do computer stuff.

They ask me how to get away from microsoft.

I help them install mint.

timeskip

Mint breaks because linux always does (I love it, but it’s just true)

They expect me to fix it, so I usually just start by teaching them how to fix things in the terminal.

It’s just responsible linux ownership. I don’t understand why it’s different then knowing how to use a taskmanager gui in windows.

Can we please stop always pretending that people doing more then checking their email will be fine with linux without even touching a terminal. It’s just a lie we try and pedal to convince people to switch. It’s honestly kind of immoral tbh. It’s not fair the terminal is needed and I do love that teams are taking the initiative to make it accessable, but goddamn! Let’s stop lying about linux not being a bit finicky and sometimes requiring 1 or 2 lines of terminal code occassionally to work fine.

PPS.

There is a reason we teach people to change a flat tire if they own a car, and noone is yelling about that being “the reason noone wants a car”.

“And type systemsettings5, hit enter”

Listen, it’s OK if you have the terminal jitters still. It is really OK. But learning more about how the kind of thing we interact with increasingly often works (that being software, devices, etc.) has never hurt. And maybe it’s just me, but I tend to think learning is good for stimulating the brain. And that is exactly what people need more of in the age of algorithms.

I’m sorry, but learning basic syntaxing and a handful of things about how your device actually functions cannot be a bad thing. And it is certainly not even sysadmin level stuff to teach a person. It’s not even as complicated as algebra (middle to high school level stuff).

My source for my opinion on it’s difficulty is based off from 10+ people of varying degrees of tech litaracy that I have helped learn some terminal things and they all picked it basically right up. It is fully reasonable to teach someone a new skill, so I don’t understand the anti-terminal crowd such as yourself.

And yes, if they happen to have a gui that already does the thing they need, I tell them to use that. You took my meme to a rude place I think…

kernal bug disables their graphics driver

they have no gui and have never learned how to run a command

noone’s there to help them learn this time

they cry and uninstall linux (the graphics could be fixed with a one-liner if they had learned to not have terminal phobia)

unsurprised pikachu face

sighs, Ok, fine, if you want to do this rn, I guess we can.

Though I have no doubt it was probobly originally a word meant to slander real communism as the western world has done countless times (few ppl on lemmy would/should deny that the west has produced a shitton of bad anti-commie propoganda), I also fully agree that Authoritarianism does actually exist as much as Capitalism, Communism, and Anarchism exists based off of the actual agreed upon definition. If you take the definition of the system itself, there is no reason to conflate it with Communism. It IS a different system than real Communism, hence why that word was used as Anti-Communist Propaganda. It associates communism with a different (and very real) malignant system to make communism look bad. Sorry if this became too much of a rant, but I really just think that denying the existance of “Authoritarian” states is not a good idea. Let’s explain to people that Communism ≠ Authoritarianism instead of trying to claim that Authoritarianism doesn’t exist.

Edit: I also fully beleive that ANY government/social system can devolve into Authoritarianism if implemented incorrectly or not vigilant enough about making sure not to centralize power in a problematic way.

Are you… being sarcastic?

If so: Good one!
If not: I would not like to enguage in the infighting atm, so I bid you a lovely day,

Does it happen a lot around here though? Most of the time I think we’re mostly just critical of Capitalists and Authoritarians. Usually Socialism, real Communism, and Anarchism are not really critisized except by some .world users.

Edit: Except during a round of good ol’ Leftist Infighting.

Wait, doesn’t the airpod completely mistranslate and misreprestent the thing that it heard in this format usually? Because if so, this meme is actually (accidentally?) mocking tankies.

I find that people spend more time writing about how linux is unstable and there’s no software for it then they would if they just googled what software they need and just installed the software that does the thing that they want that linux already has available in almost every distribution…

Aditionally:

In comparison, take any which Windows exe file, and it will run on pretty much any version of Windows

Watch me run that in vanilla wine the SAME WAY

You phrased it way better than I did and I have no disagreements. Cheers!

I’m just gonna go buy an old mp3 player, a small calander and a watch with an alarm, as well as get a VOIP service for my laptop at this rate. What is google even thinking?

I was asked for an explanation, and I gave one. Again, agreeing or disagreeing is up to you, but our feelings about it are not. Have a nice day!

Yes, it would apply equally, but I guess that I should rephrase: It is not that they find it hot that is the creepy part, it’s the fact that it is inherently fetishization of a sexuality that is not meant to involve them. Essentially, it feels kind of disrespectful and creepy for a guy to get off thinking about women who have decided to have sex with other women (I don’t mean decided to be lesbian, bc obvs that isn’t a choice), because he was never even in the demographic they wanted to have sex with, and by getting off to that, you are (at least a little) probobly imagining yourself having sex with them, and they would not even want that with you (at least in this instance). This same principle does apply to women getting off to gay men, it is just as disrespectful and fetishizing. Now, whether you agree with the thought process or not is completely up to you, but I personally find men fetishizing my sex that intentionally does not include them to be unwelcomed and creepy.

I think there are a few lesbian alternatives, but you just never hear about them because the public views lesbian hookups as less blasphemous than gay male hookups. Because creepy straight men see lesbian hookups as sexy.

Anything is a DE if you believe hard enough…

(I use arch, BTW.)

Can confirm, best DE.

It’s to reaffirm our own superiority, because even the script can’t install arch like we can…
