I can't speak to how often, but it definitely happens.

Its a perception thing, they see it as "I dont have to'learn' anything I just follow these tutorials" even though a similar amount of effort would get them through the few commands they might need on Linux.

Eh, no use crying over spilt milk, youre here now. :) Linux is still stuck in a weird cultural hole, its not your fault it took a while.

Ive always been familiar but a daily driver of windows. I started self hosting a year or two ago, and recently switched my office PC to Linux with a secondary win partition. Ive just never had issues with windows but I'm pretty tired of what they've been up too lately so for me it was time. Whenever I get around to grabbing another m.2 for my living room rig I'll do the same for it.

This is the thing that gets me about that level of user. I understand basic users who dont care prefering windows, but I always kind of found it amusing to watch people "Linux too hard booo CLI.........now excuse me while I learn to manipulate the registry, and run scripts/disable certain things via the checks notes CLI."

Although I do think its an exaggeration

"Almost every day?" Maybe, depending, but not always. Which is why I fell back on multiple times a week which is depressingly not an exaggeration.

You're awfully angry over a passing internet comment and are trying to argue an absolute because of it. Perhaps you're the stupid and hateful one here?

But I was assured this only happened on ml instances and .world was a blistering Wild West of ultimate free speech πŸ€”

(As long as you don't dislike Nazis, thats what got me banned from the instance)

Also, how extremists shouting the quiet part out loud is just assimilated now into the liberals sense of "status quo," so they just leave them to their fascism and bigotry then go off on you instead for "rocking the boat" when you point out the racist call for violence is bad.

Yes, I'm tired of hearing it too, that's WHY IM TRYING TO GET YOU TO GIVE A SHIT AND TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF WITH ME

I'm with this and have started at it myself when applicable. It also saves you time because it doesn't trigger that 3 hour pre programmed rant even though you said the exact same thing.

The other day in a meme channel of all things, in reply to some dumb Taco Bell "in the ad, in reality" image dude goes off about how the right image is actually a Weiner that identies as a taco, so i replied with "pretty fucking weird to be that obsessed with what strangers have in their takeout bag"

He didnt have anything to say to that lol

US here with bonus points for a conservative city in the bible belt. I see people literally just driving in circles around the block or up and down the street endlessly almost every day. Multiple times a week at least. Don't fucking tell me drivers only do so with purpose. eyeroll.gif

They say if you’re driving, that’s time lost, while if you are on the bus, you can be doing all sorts of things on your phone or what have you.

I don't have a car right now (not in any rush, especially with the current market) and I'm a BIG defender of this point. On the bus, I usually have a book. I take Amtrak alot and having driven on plenty of out of town trips over the years - I LOVE getting to nap out after hopping on then getting some reading done, do some gaming, or just....stare out the damn window. Coming home I have a tendency of getting a bit drunk one way or another haha.

My thing with people's perception of Amtrak in particular is how if they applied the same standards to driving we'd have an INFINITELY more equitable movement infrastructure. Sooooo many people I talk to swear off Amtrak forever cause that caught one delay, in a number of these folk it's only an hour or two but that's enough to swear it off entirely. Meanwhile those same people will sit in gridlock for an hour every day driving to work without batting an eye, or pound the steering wheel once in a multi-hour delay while traveling then are just like "that's life." How come one 1 hour delay is a forever deal breaker but nobody (seriously) complains about that? It's just what they know so no level of inconvenience is too much and they're rather be stuck in a car for 6 hours in a jam than share space with others for 2 hours on a train.
