It seems like there's no reason to doubt the US Archive's internal records on this regard. You say surely things have changed, but there's little in the way of compelling evidence that that's the case, right? Propaganda doesn't mean an absence of factual reporting, it means slanted, biased reporting, and it's not exactly a stretch by any means to suggest that VOICE OF AMERICA might have an agenda in their reporting, right? Pretty much every country that disseminates its own media employs propaganda because it's a proven means of control. I understand you respect the service they provide but consider the purpose of propaganda, its intended effect, and how it might be influencing your stance on this matter.

Judging from their reaction to the mildest form of critique I think they're too far down that path to hear you.

It's more to the point that a project of this scale and range in the hands of a small group of people is expected to have some shit code somewhere.

That's fair, but it's hard to not bring up servers when someone is making broad statements like "businesses don't use Linux", though. In the scope of that particular discussion I feel servers are pertinent enough.

I don't believe it's so much about the correction itself as it is about ignoring what the person said and only piping up to correct. Imagine we are having a conversation and you spend 3 minutes telling me about how you struggled to get the lug nuts off your tire this morning while changing it and when you finished, all I had to offer you is "they're on the rim, not the tire" and nothing more. It can come off as a bit rude.

I've been really longing to feel some sense of community and meet new people for a while now, but when I think about joining a group/club it just feels impossible. I'd really love to make new friends but it would be great to be able to skip the "talking to a group of people I don't know" part.

The side of intolerance will never extend you the courtesy of peaceful co-existence that you try to extend to them. If you give them a hand they'll take an arm. Give them the chance to talk and they'll take away your right to speak. You fundamentally can't make peace with someone who wants nothing more than to see you disappear.

Have really gotten into Deep Rock Galactic with friends, I really hadn't given it enough of a chance the first time I tried it, it's a really fun game.

I've also been enjoying roguelikes again when I find the time to play stuff on my own.

Bring out your seed...

Yeah, businesses that use Linux generally hire people who know how to use Linux. I don't think you actually know what you're arguing about anymore, but you can do it by yourself. Hope things get better for you in the future.

This is just nonsense. Linux servers are all over the place. Google has its own internal distribution of Ubuntu! I feel like you're not arguing in good faith, here.

Four years ago this wasn't even true on something quite minimalist like Arch. You installed a desktop environment and some generic drivers for stuff like audio and you had a working PC. If this was truly your experience I'm very curious about what your particular issues were.
