This is a bit rich coming from the Linux community.

Finding them shouldn’t be so hard though. Surely we can make the search function better. If I search for a community I’d at least like to be greeted by the most active versions at the top. I’ve no idea how it ranks them right now.

I’ve never understood this meme and I don't think I ever will.

Off topic but I always thought Vista was pretty good. A lot of the stuff people hated was just change. Things like UAC are normal now, can you image how bad it would be if everything still ran as administrator? Vista basically threw itself on the grenade.

I use Linux by the way, don’t lynch me.

This whole argument is stupid. If a cis man is willing to abuse a woman then a “No boys allowed” sign on the door isn’t going to stop them.

My research (which admittedly was just me asking AI) said that this is in fact legal as they just have to make it possible not to use cookies and making you pay for it is allowed. The bit about making it as easy to reject them as to accept them is just a guideline. I find most of these work with whatever reader mode you have in your browser so it’s not really a problem.

I’m in the UK and only once have I been in a cinema where people were shouting the things. It was some pretty mediocre horror thing and there were some teenagers shouting jokes but it was only like two times. The cinema was pretty much empty and it was just us and them; I think they just found the film a bit boring (we certainly did).

I always thought those concierges in fancy hotels act a bit like that. I’ve heard that guests can show up with weird rich person problems and be like “I need three gold Ferraris by 9pm” and the concierges will have to make it happen.

Cancel culture is bad on both sides though.

I use Linux (though dual boot Windows for Fusion 360 and a lot of Windows at work), but if someone asks me about switching to Linux I don't ram it down their throat. It's good and all but it's really not for everyone, and despite what people on here would have you think it's certainly not as easy to use as Windows. You're much more likely to run into a difficult problem and not know how to fix it though it's changed a bit since you can just get Claude to take a look at things now. Windows can have annoyances but generally you can live with them.

Linux, I think, is for people who are quite technical and people who aren't technical at all (and just need a web browser). For the people inbetween Linux can be a struggle. It's improving incredibly quickly but the out-of-the-box experience is still pretty terrible (looking especially at KDE here).
