Again with the snobby attitude Slav was pointing out earlier. Linux community is more guilty of it than any other community out there.
Seethe and dilate
Nobody cares. Useless whiny faggots can hire Certified Technicians or go back to windows. Consoomer presence in the ecosystem only makes it more attractive for FAGMAN to infiltrate. Having those people around to support is a net loss, the community is large and healthy enough without them. Importing infinity faggots doesn't work, neither for nations nor foss.
My rule is simple, if I can't fix it before RedHat's paid support then I'm not doing my job very well.
Never asserted as much, this is your constant insecurity you repost over and over.
This is "The Linux Thread" theres a user debugging the firmware on his ancient TV here, some of the best posts. Nothing to do with the desktop. Since when does the guy who regularly gets put on timeout get to dictate what the thread is or isn't?
Look, I tried to not get personal and emotional, yet around page 1122 I got people focusing on me and pointing me out. Apparently infighting is a bad thing on this forum, yet it keeps happening even if I try my best to not start pointing out users by name and saying that this and this guy have a grudge with me. Of course, those users never even get a slap on a wrist but I catch a thread ban. I tried my best to not be petty like this only for someone else to be this petty. Is this where you want to drive this conversation? If so, I'm out, and you should know better.
That would be great, thank you.
Only if I won't see a post mocking me despite me being thread banned. I mean, last time that happened it got swiftly deleted after I reported it, but still.
Well we appreciate that our opinions matter so much to you that it’s physically painful that a random stranger on the internet says mean things about you in a thread you weren’t posting in.
That's not the point. The point is that posts like these show that posters here take this personally and will gladly rant about me, which last I checked is instigating infighting that is apparently not allowed. So everyone is taking this personally in the end. Which is stupid.
And yet, you fail to see and admit the most obvious things.
Firstly, there are many people that believe in free and open-source software that might not use Linux. Some even like open source and just use it on Windows or Mac OS.
This is the horseshit argument that you guys always go to. "You shouldn't learn how anything actually works, nerd."
Sometimes you need to look under the hood to understand what is going on, and poking or prodding is good enough. Other times you need to read manuals. This is often how people who aren't impotent solve their problems.
The difference is that you're expecting other people to have the know-how that you have, then belittle people when they don't. Likely subconsciously since not one poster seems to be aware that's what they end up doing.
Being part of a community can also mean to have the qualifications needed to be an active participant of that community. Such as how any Jew is in effect a part of the Israeli community, because all Jews get automatic citizenship.
So far it seems that to be a participant of this thread, you need to:
Not in any common definition I am familiar with.
The context of the discussion was always the desktop, nobody is talking about the thread topic.
And I do? I muck about system internals all the time? But that doesn't mean I have to waive away my right to complain about the ways Linux sucks and could be better? But I know how it is, the moment I complain, every regular automatically assumes I'm the type of midwit that doesn't even know you can disable the weather widget on Windows in three mouse clicks. And what is this thread if not a community? Other threads have their own microcommunities of thread regulars, yet here it's like the mafia where there isn't one.
You've ran to the site's admin over three posts after half a year of absence that you could've simply ignore. It's not my fault you lack the impulse control needed to ignore one wall of text post. By all means, run to the admins on every occasion, seems like this is one of those threads that needs active moderation due to it's regulars lacking self control.
Nigger I do not want to be your IT guy. Indeed, go find a better kind of person for that.
To benefit from the army of IT guys (paid developers, designers, product management) they employ? And that using free software usually means sacrificing that army of paid support? I agree with him, that's fine, keep using windows if those are your priorities.
