 @itsmeholland As a Mac GUI Dev he would be cleary capable of doing that. But all he did and does was to insult linux users. @itsmeholland I'm not a GUI Dev at all. I'm a Sysadmin and able to deal with Problems around Linux. Unfortunately I was not able to find a single question under the OP. @funbaker@chaos.social you're either not seeing the big picture or your choosing not to so I'll spell it out. This isn't about HIS SPECIFIC "question," or anyones specific question, to you or anyone in particular. This is about the TENDENCY of Linux people to respond obnoxiously to ANY beginner questions (or in your case, the IDEA of any beginner question) with hostility & pedantry. That's literally what OP was about, & all it was about. & thats what almost all the comments have been about. @itsmeholland yeah. no. this particular case was different. ask me any beginner question. but don't expect a timeframe or smth like that to answer. @funbaker the point about the terminal was not even directed at you, not sure why you're making your status as "not a GUI dev" a thing when it's not relevant at all. No one actually asked you in particlar anything, but you still needed to chime in to tell HYPOTHETICAL/unnamed/not present people who have an issue using CLI to go fuck themselves & become a dev if they want a GUI for everything so badly. This is literally what people are complaining about on this post lmao. @funbaker@chaos.social & no, no one is "insulting" Linux users, unless you take "not your average computer user" as an insult somehow which you seem determined to do. Using the command line automatically elevates you to somewhere above average among the general computer-using population. That's a fact. Not everyone wants or needs to be "somewhere above average" while also having a modicum of privacy & that should be fine. For some reason in the linux community it's often not & you're kind of proving it. 🤷 |
@funbaker @davidbures this is just not productive. Devs need user input, & the only response cannot be "you should contribute then if you don't like it."
Think about what you just said. "If you are a typical computer user & don't want to use a command line, THEN CONTRIBUTE TO DEVELOPING SOFTWARE YOU'D RATHER USE."
People who don't want to use a command line WON'T be developing software!!!!!!
So yes, you are PUSHING users into getting spied on by belittling their needs.
