Larry Finger, your work has made a significant positive impact on my life and I’m sure many others. Thank you.

Now can you work on a driver to allow communication between the living and the dead?

True but people need to know to look to the documentation, it’s not something we’re born with. People learn to ride a bike, to drive a car, use their TV, etc without reading much documentation. We should educate people on how to figure things out rather than shame them for not knowing as much as you.

Don’t assume everyone can learn as easily as you can or has a background that would facilitate their grasping of the topic. Here you are casually saying “just read the man page” and referencing gcc, it would take my mom a week of education to get to the point where she’d be able to understand what gcc even is and why it has a man page.

And if you don’t want to help them, ignore the noobs, don’t push them away.

I think constantly bringing it up to people all the time is more of a disservice.

The trans community is tiny, I’m an almost 50 year old trans woman transitioned over 20 years ago. The reason we have the rights we do is because it’s “brought up all the time”. When I transitioned, it was rarely brought up, this was because most people were scared of the social and economic consequences of doing so. This is all changing because we talk about it rather than be quiet and let people keep us down. I’d imagine even you might have more negative views of trans people if the only exposure you had was from talk shows promoting us as freaks, this is how it was before.

Other than that, your attitude is fine, not everyone needs to be interested.

Scandalous! Where can I hear more about this ABC, DEF, JKL love triangle?

Completely agree, I put puncutation outside the quotes, screw the rules, being sensical is more important.

I care, and so do many others, it happens to some with empathy when they grow out of their preteen years.

Because if I do, then that proves Gnome is terrible and all the devs should drive off a cliff?

See, this is a good comment. You like KDE more, awesome! Enjoy! Your attitude makes me want to try it again.

If we lost the open source community will have gained.

I find some software annoying too but I’m not 12 so I don’t feel the need to shit on people volunteering their time to make software for people.

Gnome devs seem to just be red hat employees who don’t actually care about making a good DE

But Gnome is a great DE, I’ve used it as a daily driver for personal and at work for many years. I can’t say I have any major complaints. What’s so terrible about Gnome?

I don’t care what people like, I don’t like people shitting on open source projects and dividing the community.

It makes sense to temporarily avoid politics to stay sane, compartmentalization. To completely avoid politics I don’t see how one is not either very low intelligence to not realize their apathy harms people, or is smarter and aware their apathy harms others and is ok with it. Either dumb or bad.

I don’t see Gnome fans brigading KDE threads and circlejerking about KDE being awful and the devs being cunts.

I’m a Gnome user for like 20 years, I don’t prefer KDE but glad it’s there. I never have but would be happy to support KDE and understand any devs being cunts on occasion, I’m sure it’s stressful. I’m glad they are there so I don’t have to use proprietary software.

People shitting on Gnome sound like kids bitching that the free pizza shop doesn’t offer your favorite hamburger.

Also, all this sudden Gnome hate all over Lemmy is trendy as fuck, being trendy used to mean you were a loser with no original style, I guess the capitalists turned it into “viral” and made it cool.

You can use the parted module for partitioning

Format with BTRFS or many others

America is filled with people that use religion as a cultural tool of identity and dominance.

Speaking about Christianity – but it’s not an unforgivable sin. If one believes in what is common in Christian sects and is having a difficult lonely life without support, it definitely makes sense to commit suicide. God being angry, but then forgiving you and allowing you to live in heaven sounds better than a life of despair to me.

It’s my opinion that most people that call themselves religious don’t actually believe. The true believers are the ones doing suicide bombings and fighting unwinnable wars.

Maybe

Yep, you probably end up working with different groups of people too also making unionization harder.
