Linux takes a long time to learn and is often quirky and strange in unexpected ways- life long Windows users already know how horrible Windows is and its quirky strange behaviors.

We stick with what we know. Unlearning behaviors is doubly hard when replacing them with something better.

Thanks, chatgpt, it’s always so meaningful to hear what you have to say.

Semantic constructs. Audiosemiotic conceptualizations. Wordy McWordwords!

The all knowing robot told me it’s meant to mimic the sound of heavy running.

Considering some of the other banned words on the list, some fat kid is getting bullied in that class.

I figured it was generally understood that that one is a no-go in most all situations. I mean you only need to do it once to learn what happens if you do.

“What’s the matter Lisa? You’re usually the first one out of this deathtrap!”

Not a film, but I read Cormac McCarthys The Road at 25, and it threw me into a deep depression from which I never fully recovered.

Watching Alien at any age is a borderline traumatic event.

Gremlins. Still freaks me out.

This has been bothering me too for some time.

Yeah API shit was the final straw, but it was a long time coming. Honestly I’d switch way sooner had there been any alternative. I and a lot of other people tried, but nothing ever really took off even though the systems were there.

It’s about adoption, but mainstream adoption is also what kills a site like this.

Ours goes to 11.

Queensbury Rules init.

You know… In my life I’ve had to talk a few people out of scams.

I know they were scammed, it’s blatantly a scam, the evidence is overwhelming, my experience is solid, everyone I know of’s experience says the same.

Yet they will argue with you back and forth and never really be satisfied because they want to believe it so much, and I imagine it stings a good bit being told you’re being ripped the fuck off and you’re too stupid or inexperienced to understand that.

I’m never confrontational about it, I just make it very perfectly clear that proceeding would be extremely ill advised, and that even their own worries brought them to me asking for my opinion because they trust my judgment.

It scares me how long it takes to convince them, and how often in the end they come to me a month later and I ask them how it went, and they went and bought it anyway, for whatever far fetched rationalization they managed to construct for themselves.

Psychology is real, psychology is simple, all it takes to control humans is to have no care for anything but yourself.

WELCOME TO FINANCE! There are no rules, and if we break them, we remake them!

This is a case where I literally both hate the player and the game.

It’s a bit tounge in cheek, nobody actually got mad at the arch namedropping. More like “I’m a platinum level player in LoL”. Lol.

What dist to you use btw?

Oh great so now i have to unlearn systemd again?

I feel like all we’re doing is speedrunning Reddit.

Considering how well voting has turned out in general, maybe the voting system is the issue.
