  • Yeah it’s crazy. What’s that line: To the privileged any attempt at equality is going to look like a loss of privilege.

    Something like that. I’m pretty sure they just want to harm come to groups they’re prejudiced against. Even more insulting is I’m pretty sure the Trump administration has a lot of drink and drug related parties, Trump spent his youth in nightclubs, Musk is addicted to ketamine and Grimes mentioned them tripping on acod together.

    So it’s debauchery at the top, austerity for everyone else. It’s a real let them eat cake they’re doing. Not serious or good people at all. Very little in the way of mprals or ethics, it’s all about power, privilege, politics, and personal gain.





  • But they also think you’re in an alternative reality because of “leftist reactionaries” over blowing things in the media. Some of them would probably go as far to say that “We need anti-propaganda laws against the left wing media”

    …the problem for the left is, the right wing “alternative facts, alternative media landscape” is unfortunately MORE REAL in a legal sense because they own SCOTUS, and SCOTUS want to institute Unitary Executive theory… Which is what they’re doing.

    It’s a very clean sounding bunch of words for a kind of fascism.



  • They don’t think Trump and Musk are doing anything wrong. When quizzed they’ll ask you to name anything they’ve done wrong.

    Everything Trump and Musk are doing is guised in Libertarian and Conservative values.So nothing wrong has been done on their eyes.

    If you go places like r/JordanPeterson (to ask) and r/Conservative to observe the media landscape - you’ll see that “The Woke” are wrong and have turned violent against Tesla. You’ll see Trump and Musk are thought of as doing great things.

    That’s how they think. They’re not in the same media landscape as everyone else is.



  • Yes, people do wander towards Idiocracy. Don’t mistake my pointing that out as advocating for it. I’m just explaining my view of why some claim Linux “isn’t ready”.

    One solution would be to have GUI and console options. So people who want to learn more about console commands can.

    A deep OS allows for that. But right now the topic is; what do the masses interpret as “Ready” in an OS.


  • Opinions don’t have citations, they’re opinions. That’s why you didn’t include citations for yours either.

    Would you agree that if you need to use the Registry Editor, Windows isn’t ready for mass adoption?

    No, because this statement shifts the goal posts. I specified a time frame in what I said (first three months), now you’ve dissolved that requirement. But also, RegEdit does have a graphic interface (all be it a bad one) so doesn’t fit the idea that people equate console commands with unfinishedness.

    So no, I disagree. To many users I think even a bad UI beats “oh no, blank window I have to know what to type!”

    … it’s the fear of not being smart enough or not knowing what to type. People want the answers to just come to them, or be intuitive.


  • Somewhere a Gen-Z or Gen Alpha is reading this on a tablet and has no idea why anyone owns a computer - they’re thinking “Computers are dumb, because they’re just large outdated clunky looking tablets”

    …and somewhere in the past there was probably an old man, angry at the fact that modern keyboards will never match the elegance and typing skills found by using a type writer. Lamenting that people have lost their mechanical understanding of things because they’ve never had to replace a ribbon when it’s lost its ability to pick up or put down ink as it should.

    You’re standing between these two arguments (thinking you’re correct)… when the arguments (and ones like them) stretch all the way back in time to the first technoologies, and all the way forwards into the future, to the last of them, or as far as the mind can see.
