PHUO: “The internet is not real life” is not a good mantra. It is real life! It’s a major factor of the offline world! Political movements are born there, bestselling books are determined from its word of mouth, people have their lives ruined because of it. Just because it’s not always representative of the total population doesn’t mean it isn’t remarkably important

ishikabibble posted:Linux users really feel like a cult Some Linux guys definitely can be cultish in their devotion. What I like about Linux, other than not dealing with Windows spyware, is the range of user experiences. There are distros for people who want a desktop environment almost exactly like Windows or Mac, and there are more advanced distros like Arch for grognards who want to go through the tedious process of setting everything up on their own. Although I've been pretty lucky with my distro (Mint + awesomewm), I know a lot of Linux users have to spend hours diagnosing driver issues.

The fact is if you'd responded with the first thing and we were in a setting where the main aim is to talk about poo poo, I'd probably ask you the same question. You don't have to answer, ofc, but it is a touch different. Like I once had someone talk to me about how "Theft is punished too lightly" or what have you at work and, having seen him reading a book on the British Empire I asked him what the difference was between Empire and theft. He got real cross.

My one experience with Linux has been trying to use it on the Steam Deck, and then having the console almost lock itself up because it kept trying to install Chrome through the game launcher layer. Because somewhere in between the factory installed OS version and when I received it, the repository was updated to include both Chrome and Chrome Developer Edition, so it kept querying the console 'which one' and the console kept just going 'google chrome'. And then I backed out of that and went into the desktop environment and found out it already had Firefox preinstalled. A+ user experience for a $600 toy

I know a lot of early internet discourse was spent on an argument about windows vs linux It's weird that if you could poll the world on which was right at the time the answer would overwhelmingly be "neither, who cares" and the answer today would be "whichever thing is on my phone"

The problem with arguments about Linux stability and drivers is it's entirely dependent on what's in your computer. If you have a business laptop it will work amazingly, if you have a franken-PC with oddball parts or some low-end garbage prebuilt gaming rig you're much more likely to suffer. And the nVidia drivers suck, have always sucked, and probably will always suck.

When it comes to operating systems, you have to go with what works best for you and your specific use case - "the right tool for the right job". Linux is more privacy respecting and allows for more personalization, but Windows is designed to work immediately 'out of the box' and that can be more convenient. It really depends on what your needs are.

A lot of local theaters and venues I've noticed are doing this more and more, before they begin they acknowledge that this land once belonged to this specific tribe. The gesture to recognize this land was conquered and colonized by white people is, I guess, not-negative. But what specifically is meant to be accomplished here? We're sure not giving it back. And there aren't even any Native Americans in the audience, here to see a white play written by a five hundred year old dead white guy about antiquated white aristocrat hijinks. It feels like it's just to help ease the burden of guilt ever so slightly so we can watch this play knowing we Did Our Part.

Looking at clouds has a bit of a bad reputation but that’s because a lot of people do it when they’ve got a lovely sky going. If you’ve got a good sky with multiple cloud levels and stuff, looking at clouds kicks rear end.

Telling the waiter your order is wrong is a dick move. Just eat the loving food. Possibly getting an order wrong is just part of going out to eat, you overprivileged snob. When you say your order is wrong, you cause all kinds of loving annoying trouble. 1) First of all, now your food is going to be thrown away. 2) The underpaid, stressed out waiter will feel like an idiot. 3) The waiter has to go back and tell the cooks to recook the food, all of which gets added to an already unmanageable queue, but also it doesn't count as a new food item; you effectively cause the cooks and the wait staff all to take a hit, which will have to be added to inventory and time sheets later, and the management will pick a person (could be the waiter, could be a cook, could be someone who wasn't even working when this happened) to lecture and bitch at and maybe even fire. 4) Now the rest of your party is eating while you wait for your new loving food to be made. Which leads to the "should we wait? is it okay we eat?" awkwardness. 5) You will be marked as a customer who did this, and if it happens again, your third visit will absolutely have public hair and spit in your food. 6) You will annoy those of us who just loving eat the food we're given because people make mistakes all the time and it's not a big deal unless it's like an allergy issue or something. 7) Once everyone is finished eating, the party has to wait for your new loving correct food to be consumed before they can leave. Furthermore, if you ever go to a fast food joint and complain that your order is wrong, you're just a loony idiot. You're a naive person for thinking a bunch of stoned teenagers at Taco Bell are going to perform to your standards. 100% of orders made at fast food restaurants are wrong. This frustrates me in the same way people complain when they're forced to work off the clock or they have their lunches deducted from their pay sheets. Yeah it sucks and it's a bummer but it's the world a lot of us live in. credburn has a new favorite as of 22:08 on Sep 7, 2022 |

I suspect you may have put more effort into having an opinion about wrong food orders than everyone in the service industry combined Orders are wrong sometimes. It's part of the job and barely anyone notices you sending the food back unless you are a dick about it
