I asked a question on a forum about why a command wasn’t working. They said I didn’t have an interpreter installed on my computer and were making fun of me. I showed them that I had one installed and that wasn’t the problem, but they continued to talk sarcastically to me without explaining anything. Only one of them suggested the cause of the problem, and he was right, so I thanked him. Then another guy said that if I couldn’t figure it out myself, I should do something else and that he was tired of people like me. After that, I deleted my question, and now I’m not sure. And I don’t think I want to ask for help ever again

    Because many people not bother to do even the most basic research before asking.

    Imagine like the electricians forum is filled with guys who ask where should they shove the light bulb – in the mouth or in the ass, and why it doesn’t emit light in neither of those places.

      I searched, but I really didn’t find anything, and even the gpt couldn’t help me. No one forces you to answer their questions

        I searched

        Not enough.

        No one forces you to answer their questions

        Nobody likes flood/spam on forums. And such trivialities really look like flood. Or maybe it wasn’t a triviality. You just asked “I noob, hlp plz to make a Linux multithread OpenGL software render daemon in Bush and Rust!!! LOLZ, boomers”. I any way, such threads are just garbage.

          should I turn the whole internet inside out so as not to annoy you with my little question? It’s a pretty stressful job, isn’t it. ehh tell me another way to get out of poverty in a third world country and you’ll never see me again.

            Nobody owes you anything. People might help you if they see some potential in you, but too many noobs come to forum with a mindset “This is forum, so help me now, you lazy self-inflated rude assholes. NOW!”

            I can’t answer any more precisely without knowing what exactly you have asked.

              What may be obvious to others is not necessarily obvious to all, including enough foreground work by an individual before some magical threshold they have no way of understanding". This is inherent in all knowledge acquisition. It costs one literally nothing to ignore a post if it doesn’t suit your criteria for engaging.

          If you don’t like noob questions, don’t go to places that allow noob questions. Simple as. Stop being a complete piece of shit just because you get annoyed sometimes…

        You came in with a noob question and then shit on their accurate advice because you didn’t understand it.

        What do you mean the light bulb doesn’t go in my mouth? It fits, see!

        So of course they have to rag on you.

          rofl you are part of the problem. How does it feel spreading hate and ignorance because you’re too fucking proud or too stupid to answer a simple question?

          Don’t know the answer but still want to feel superior? That’s what I thought…

      If a lot of guys are asking that question, that’s when you put up a FAQ for them.
