@adamgreenfield I could (and I do) say the same about you, because what in my post made you think that I am invested in a position other than “people should resolve their differences by talking to each other instead of keeping quiet and then complaining on the Internet about stuff that they could have just misconstrued?”

Also, what in my post made you think that I'm blaming anyone for anything?

@ploum @anthk @f4grx

Is @Codeberg down?

The worst thing I can say about anything is that it's boring. If you ever read me say that about something, you can be sure that I hated it.

To be honest, I always thought (or should I say ‘hoped’?) "Bob" would be on the side of the freakout.

There seems to be quite a lot of magical thinking in the way some people read stuff, by which I mean that they will always interpret it in a way that suits their biases. I wonder if I'm guilty of that, too.

This is related (but not the same, I believe) as what happens when we argue with someone and we try to extract the parts of their argument that may give force to our own response to it. If you think about it, this selective ‘argumenteering’ is ultimately what causes the effect described by Godwin's Law.

Or... you can acknowledge the fact that sysadmins exist and that they study and get paid for installing and maintaing systems, and you can hire one to do exactly that instead of putting yourself in the hands of some unknown person or entity whose ultimate goal is to turn you into a consumer of the program that is rightfully yours and set their own terms for its maintenance.

Juegazo. Tiene la dificultad justa: es exigente sin ser frustrante. Y la mecánica es muy sencilla (de aprender, no de dominar).

I've been using @privacybrowser for PC and I have to admit that I find it really hard to get used to its Lynx-inspired style of page navigation. I hate jumping from link to link when using the cursor keys. (Or falling off of a textarea element when editing a post, like it happened to me just now.)

Other than that it's pretty cool.

And don't even get me started on Linux ‘users’ who chose Debian-based distributions. Fucking idiots.

“What about those who use desktop-oriented distros, like Mint and that other one whose name you can't remember right now?” I have only one word for you: POSER.

“BTW, I use Arch.” I can't hear you. You're muted.

“I don't use Linux. I use *BSD/Plan9/TempleOS, etc.” You think you're better than me? Fuck you!

For some reason, the people I dislike the most are the ones that, superficially, seem the most like me.

For example, do you love #books? Me too! Problem is, you love the wrong books and you even have the wrong opinions about them. Being a fan of glorified fanfiction does not make you a bibliophile. If you like #movies or #music, GOTO 10.

Are you a #leftist? Really? Me too! Except you're not really a leftist, but a liberal at most. You enjoy capitalism and even take advantage of it. You probably vote Democrat (or your country's equivalent) and still wear a mask. You're a sellout and a fake.

“No, no, no. I really _hate_ the capitalist system. Seriously.” Yeah, I bet you do, but something tells me capitalism rejected you first the minute it saw you (and/or smelled you). You must be one of those idiots that think that being gay counts as a legitimate anti-establishment position. Also, Ucranian flag.

tl; dr: I have no friends.

Estaba pensando en contratar un #vps con una empresa llamada Ginernet. ¿Alguien sabe algo de ellos? He buscado opiniones y la mayoría son positivas, pero no estoy seguro de que sean auténticas. Gracias.
