like there are categories of wrongpinion

some are respectful disagreement (maybe you actually think the death penalty is good?)
and some just make you an rear end in a top hat (defending hitler isn't a good idea)

enjoying shell scripting is definitely in the hitler category

Apple products don't necessarily have better usability

My first Apple product since a v1 Nano is an iPad Air2 my son's school said he needed and trying to set it up was frustration after frustration and a tonne of lovely UI decisions too

i like it

  • bash and cocaine are both widely abused by assholes

  • if you weren't an rear end in a top hat beforehand, bash and cocaine will make you into one

  • bash is a huge waste of your time and money, just like cocaine

  • writing too many shell scripts will eventually end in doing humiliating things in uncomfortable places, just like cocaine

Then node.js is like heroin. You'll never shutup about the first time you used it and you'll drag all of your friends into your own personal hell.

bash is extremely good for simplifying or automating time consuming tasks and processes, nbsd has a longstanding traumatic brain injury that prevents him from having good opinions on anything

Groups of people forking Linux distro's for whatever ideological bullshit reason they might have are actively doing a disservice to the adoption of Linux as a whole due to the scattering of the user base.
