voidMainVoid,

Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary.

China hasn’t been communist in a long time.

voidMainVoid,

You’re misinformed. It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong.

voidMainVoid,

All the Firefox forks are pretty much dead as well.

Firedragon and LibreWolf seem to be pretty healthy. I’ve been using LW daily for over a year and FD daily for 1-2 years before that.

voidMainVoid,

What do you mean by “actually work in the real world”? I can go on GitHub right now and fork a project within 5 minutes. So can you. It works.

voidMainVoid,

Try reading slower. Look up words you don’t understand with a dictionary.

voidMainVoid,

Meanwhile the vast majority of users couldn’t care less, and just want to play games, browse the web, and chat with friends, all of which is completely functional in Wayland and has been for a while.

The last couple of times I tried Wayland, it broke my desktop so badly that I couldn’t even use it.

Granted, that was “a while” ago, so my experience might be better now, but it’s made me very wary of it.

I’m going to post this thread anytime I get some random screaming about how Linux is soooo much easier than Windows.

What a ridiculous straw man. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody promote Linux but claiming that it’s easier than Windows.

This bullshit is the number 1 detractor of adoption.

That’s a trend I’ve noticed from Linux critics: they had some bad experience due to a use case that they didn’t feel was properly catered to, and because they had a bad experience, that’s the reason why more people aren’t choosing Linux.

I’ve never used mouse gestures. I’m willing to bet most users don’t. People aren’t picking up Linux and going “Aaarrrgghhh! This sucks, because I can’t program my mouse gestures!” This sounds like a power user feature. Catering to power users so that they don’t badmouth you online is not a good UX design strategy.

voidMainVoid,

My brain immediately started singing “Where are the plows? There ought to be plows”.

voidMainVoid,

I wonder why atheists do this when there’s so much real Christian stuff to laugh at.

voidMainVoid,

There was an app for MacOS…7? I think. It was called ASCIIPaint, and it allowed you to draw these pictures using a mouse.

voidMainVoid,

That genuinely sucks and helps misinformation spread.

I don’t see how. What I think is that it makes a less toxic environment.

voidMainVoid,

I’ve met plenty of goth women who got married and were good wives. There’s this weird stereotype that says that if you want to get married, you have to marry June Cleaver, and that’s just stupid.

voidMainVoid,

It’s yea or nay. Yes, I know it’s confusing because they rhyme and they’re spelled differently, but that’s how English is sometimes. A lot of the time.

voidMainVoid,

Well, yeah, that is one of the interpretations.

voidMainVoid,

People in the US are concerned about this genocide because we’re paying for it. The US sends Israel billions of dollars every year. This is our tax dollars at work.

voidMainVoid,

This argument is strange to me, because super-wealthy people don’t pollute just because they can. They do it because it’s profitable…and it’s profitable because people buy their products.

voidMainVoid,

I agree with socialism, but I disagree with how many socialists think it’s a panacea to everything bad about society.

Pollution? Socialism.

Racism? Socialism.

Sexism? Socialism.

Homophobia? Socialism.

I’ve never yet heard a plan for converting a capitalist country, any capitalist country, to socialism. Yet we’re supposed to abandon whatever cause we’re fighting for and instead bang the drum for socialism, because that will solve everything.

voidMainVoid,

Maybe not for you. For me, I spend hours fiddling with it trying to get it the way I want, get frustrated, and eventually go back to KDE.

voidMainVoid,

All that hatred for soy…I love those little beans!

They’re talking about National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo) which is November.
