Tldr; pi-hole

Haha well that reveals that you just never read it then.

Hah gotcha. I mean over enough timespan what they want will happen (pretty sure anyhow) and it will be good. But it may take 10-15 years. But I understand how annoying people can sometimes be about ideas like this

people heavily pushing for everyone to SWITCH TO ARM RIGHT NOW!

That’s a thing? Not seen/heard that before. If people are saying literally everyone should switch and abandon the entire ecosystem of software, they are obviously idiots. If people are musing that they wish it could happen while preserving compatibility, they are reasonable and in the right. ARM CPUs use way less power and run cooler and that is good for everyone.

You might be right and I just haven’t seen that sentiment. People are often selfish and unreasonable, but in this particular case I’ve not seen it.

They said they already went through this once before. Also you assume that “it’s weird” is some kind of vicious attack but it’s not.

Yeah now that I look back there are more than like 3 people not mad/rude about it.

Getting mad is kinda just what social media does

I would say it’s what the Internet does. Post a question on stack overflow and you’ll get the meanest responses each one telling you you’re stupider than the last. Same vibes in this thread.

I was just taking issue with the responses ignoring the context given, and rudely. If I say I can’t use something and why (and that why is other people’s opinions) it’s super unhelpful to angrily tell me why those other people are wrong. It’s irrelevant if they’re wrong or not. I think I could’ve overlooked whether it is relevant or not honestly, but comment after comment saying it, many of them with a shitty tone, is why I commented.

I’m working on a script that checks my files, dir structure, and audio metadata for issues. For basic problems that can be fixed with a command, the script outputs a suggested command in a csv. I’ve cleaned up many issues with the script so far…

Been thinking of sharing it but it’s still very much a WIP.

OP is relaying an opinion they got from multiple people and frankly an expected one. You got weirdly mad at them for it.

Firstly, sorry you’re having this problem and sorry the responses here have been nearly universally unhelpful and aggressive. This is a pretty perfect case study of what I don’t like about the fediverse. There’s a lot to like about this place but what drives me nuts is the unhinged and reality-divorced types who cannot understand something so simple as normal people thinking things are weird. Half the respondents here think you should scream at your coworkers about this and/or quit. You asked an incredibly reasonable and relatable question and mostly got shat on for it. Just wanted to say that someone sees how ridiculous it is, not everyone here is lost completely in their own (hateful) world. Sorry I don’t have a solution for you.

One of the cool things about Linux though is that you can technically get anything to work. Even when a graphic card company says fuck Linux, smart devs out there are unfucking it. So from that perspective, those kinds of caveats are a “good” thing. Sucks if they break, but amazing you can make anything work period.

Using linux makes you forget that drivers are even a thing.

Yeah I don’t know either. I’m tempted to wonder that if there is one, the common thread might be something like “people who aren’t afraid to do what’s best for themselves”.

I know this is mostly joking but I cannot tell if people really think there’s a correlation between being LGBT and using Linux. If there is one, what explains it?

Huh I was pretty sure I played apex legends on Linux briefly, years ago.

Primarily because it makes your setup easily repeated and able to be quickly stood up on new machine

Ok those names are just funny
