You live in subsided housing and are shitting on younger people complaining about how difficult it for them? That’s ripe enough to smell from here.

That was the El Faro, a ship lost with all hands due to improper maintenance and poor decisions made by the captain. Lots of sailors from Maine were aboard.

Diagnosed with Crohn’s at 32? It’s not fatal but the rest of my life is going to be pretty shitty and my family has some sort of Dorian Grey deal where we just don’t die.

You have fiber to the pole and the best you old ISP could do was 42 Mbps? That’s fucked, on my rural all copper network we had a 100 and 200mbps option. Expensive, but available. I only switched to fiber to spite Spectrum(CharterComm)

I’m not letting some obscure group of fucking Turks claim a goddamn emoji as their own and stop using it myself. Same with Pepe, a 🐸 emoji, or 👌. They already have the swastika and a bunch of others from the ACTUAL Nazis, let them use those instead.

I don’t remember what the name of the logical fallacy where you conflate a small problem with a big one, but that’s what you’re doing. It’s a poor argument regardless of the context.

I work in healthcare (maintenance) and our computer system is so fucking locked down, I’m sure CoPilot will have some similar way of being shackled. I was surprised to learn that the terminal isn’t locked, until I fooled around some and realized that every possible command was individually blocked.

I think he has a really good point. I consider myself acceptably tech literate, I’m not afraid of the command line even if I don’t really understand how to use it, I’ve built my own computers for years, and I have a pretty custom configuration of Windows.
One thing a windows user can typically be sure of is that if it’s meant to work, it probably will. There is a pretty black and white environment of what’s possible and what isn’t. Linux is very much more “give it a shot” style computing for beginners. It breaks much more easily, it can be very confusing to configure, and it’s just different.
I think if it similarly to cars. Some people, like myself, love driving, enjoy tinkering with the car, maybe drive a standard for they joy of it. But most people just want a car to take them to work and the store. Most people just want a computer to work, either for their job or their hobby, but the hobby isn’t tinkering with software. The fact that even the very packaged and polished distros can require more than basic tech literacy to configure is likely what turns a lot of people away, whether or not that’s actually the case.
And getting snippy saying somebody is butthurt (which is fucking homophobic btw) is absolutely going to keep pushing people away if they think the community is full of holier than thou Linux nerds that don’t understand how to communicate with normal people.
I’m currently experimenting with different distros right now and am having a similar experience to the person you are replying to.

There are at least half a dozen quality YouTube videos on that building. It’s a Comms hub/bunker and the NSA probably has an office inside where they get a tap on basically all traffic AT&T handles
