  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    You are really salty about this for someone who claims they don't care.

    I don't care as long as the other party doesn't care as well.

    No-one is lording their superiority over you. You just have an inferiority complex because the majority has decided to prioritise different things from what you would choose. And when someone takes shots at people who think "their" idea of optimal is the one true solution, it hits a bit close to home.

    It litelarly is more optimal... faster, better... fuck, I'm not gonna quote Daft Punk ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    Again, stop saying you, I'm right there with you at the terminal, I'm just not dumb enough to think we can or should bring everyone else up here.

    Not trying to bring them over to the dark side. Just don't say it's "drrrr ๐Ÿคช" when you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

    And why the fuck would I think those users having the OS hold their hands are the smart ones? The whole point is that dumb people should get to use computers, too.

    They should, I completely agree... but they should know their place, just like I know mine. I don't pretend I'm a dev just because I wrote a few stupid apps and open a few PRs here and there. I'm a geek, that's all.

    I'm starting to think you are exactly the elitist gatekeeper the original meme was aimed at.

    Close to home? More like bullseye.

    You're even defending your optimal as if your circumstance were the only one that counts.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    But it literaly IS more optimal... how hard is that to grasp.

    My point was, do whatever you want, just don't make fun of those that actually do stuff the way they were intended to be done in the first place. Use a GUI, hell use an AI for all I care, it's your computer, not mine ๐Ÿคท.

    Not if you're incapable of learning it... A hammer is optimal for a nail, doesn't mean you should use it as a saw. How hard is that to grasp?

    And my point is, you're a snowflake who can't take a joke. The original meme can be interpreted hurtfully, but you have to choose to do so by giving it way more weight than you ever should a meme.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Well, I know one thing, I'm a lot less of a snowflake than a lot of people here are.

    Yeah, all-in-all, your contributions are great. Doesn't mean you shouldn't be told off for getting vindictive.

    And if you wanted to take a swing at me, something like "at least I'm not a care-bear" would have worked better.

    Shit... I just realized I was talking to a mod that maintains half the Fediverse ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    And if you wanted to take a swing at me, something like "at least I'm not a care-bear" would have worked better.

    Yeah, that is a good comeback ๐Ÿ˜. I'm not that good EQ wise to be honest, but I try ๐Ÿ˜‚.
