I heard they’re going to start harvesting and selling off all the engineers’ organs. Zuckerberg calls it an “unfortunately necessary next step”.

As long as he keeps to himself, I don’t care. It’s when he a. annoys me or other devs by asking questions that are already answered in the documentation or readily available online, or b. tells people how hard/terrible Linux is because he had a bad experience using a thing he purposefully misunderstood, that he becomes a problem for the Linux community. Then, I care.
We should not be encouraging people to try Linux if they are the kind of people who do those things.
The next argument is, “well, we should make Linux friendly to Windows users,” and I think that mentality is disgusting. Windows has dog shit UX, and we 100% should not be borrowing from it.

I am a software engineer who believes software engineers should be paid for their work. I use Linux. Do I mean nothing to you??
I think most Linux users don’t have a problem with things like RHEL. I personally think it’s great. I don’t personally use it, but I have absolutely no problem with it.
The actual problem Linux users care about is when people use and modify the Linux kernel (or any other GPL project), distribute the binaries, but don’t distribute the source code. (I’m looking at you, Sony.)

That’s what I mean though. Like, if Linus had asked me if he should switch to Linux, I would have said no. He’s not good with computers. He’s kind of an idiot. And he’s also not a big fan of reading.
Whereas I would say Switch and Click is a great candidate for switching to Linux because she clearly knew that she knew very little about it (at the time), and she wanted to learn. She didn’t go into it thinking all of her knowledge of Windows would translate to knowledge of Linux like Linus did.
So I guess what I mean is we shouldn’t be encouraging everyone to switch to Linux, like you said. Some people just want the easiest, least thought required solution, and that’s Windows. Everything “just works” (except when it doesn’t), because when it doesn’t work, Windows users just think “oh, computers can’t do that”. (Or they pay someone else to do it, eg Geek Squad.)

I’m basing off of the fact that Microsoft doesn’t even use Windows for their server fleets. Windows makes a terrible server.
- Comment on "Linux? Those guys who like to talk about themselves?" 3 days ago:
Yeah, I know that. It would probably be BSD though. Doesn’t change what I said though. They’d be ignorant of whatever else it was. It definitely wouldn’t be Windows though. Proprietary systems would never work for things like server farms that have 500,000 servers.

Do we want the kind of people who are afraid of Linux to switch to Linux though? I feel like those people should stay on Windows until Linux adoption is just too overwhelming. Let the people who actually want to explore and try new things switch first, cause they’ll be more useful at providing feedback, and less likely to hurt the community.
Like, was it a good thing that Linus did his first Linux challenge? It was a lot of press, but a lot of it was bad. Maybe that is a good thing and I’m just wrong here. I feel like in his second challenge he was much more open to actually trying something new, and kind of realized that he doesn’t actually know anything about computers, but just Windows.

Ok, but, like, who cares? If someone wants to eat a pile of shit to stick it to the burger enjoyers, let them.

It’s funny because without Linux, they wouldn’t have any of their modern luxuries, but they’re usually completely ignorant to that fact, like a bird eating fries off the ground thinking they’re really good at scavenging food.

- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 5 days ago:
My guess is so that their system can present red flags like long periods of unemployment or short job retention.

Unless those 9 volts are individually wrapped, I wouldn’t put the screwdriver that close to them. Other than that, it looks fine to me, someone who barely knows more than average about batteries.

Ok, so it also fails sometimes when your name is unfortunate. But other than those times that it fails, it never fails.

First initial, last name, never fails. Except when you change your name. Then it fails.
