A broken clock is right twice a day?
This! You can never “win” or get the last word, but you can get the other person to show how bad their arguments are. You just have to trust that others will decide on what is right correctly.
Maybe try a more formal debate setting? I know there are some places like “the crucible” that facilitate that.
I doubt you will find anything on Lemmy unless you start up a highly moderated community. Even then, people can bring questions against the moderators.
Discussion and debate are pretty lawless in nature.
I sway back and forth. I’ll get into a heavy debate about something. It just burns me right up. I need to chill afterwards for a week or so.
I don’t know. Not everyone who uses a computer should be an expert. Not everyone is 100% alert all the time. I know there has to be a line somewhere.
I feel like it would be really easy to have the OS check if the exe is appended to some other extension and force the user to rename it before allowing it to be executed.
Yes, any file that is marked as executable can be “run”. 9 times out of 10 the user has to do this explicitly.
These people are a critical part of the computer ecosystem. Without them, no one would use any settings other than the default. We may not have yet discovered the dark theme.
Good meme.
This happens in close source software too. You just don’t find out about it until it gets bad enough.
Is debian a good choice for new users? I know it’s used as a base for a lot of distros. But I’ve never used it. I assumed it was more technical and less user friendly.
I’m about ready to start telling service workers to spit in my food or form a union. You’re choice.
Your sarcasm is on point but there are a limited number of people who can answer some questions. They get flooded and are answering questions on their own free time. So some people get left in the dust if they don’t follow the rules.
It sucks but I don’t see a way around it.
Yes, but Linux is considerably better than Windows in my opinion.
So the quality is worth the price of not owning the work you do?
I guess everyone has to make their own call…
