re: danger: linux
@jk Linux can't be a cohesive system because Unix never reconsidered configuration as it evolved from a pile of CLI tools with man pages and a dedicated expert admin to a graphical OS where the user is the admin. an operating /system/ would solve the configuration problem once for all programs. in practice *nix people hear this, think "windows registry" and then implement their own config file parser. or they go GNOME and use dconf (good!) but also remove settings for fun

danger: linux
i use linux every day. and when i want to configure something? i don't know where to look, don't know which one of the many configuration utilities to use, have to go on a big forum thread research session to find out what the best practice is for my situation, don't know which config file to alter, don't know if the file will be overridden in the near or far future, don't know why the changes i'm making aren't working, etc. everything is the Principle of Most Surprise, and it sucks

Linux users stop being smug assholes about windows users being subject to a horrendous feature unknowingly
Difficulty level: Impossible.
@jk i know what i'm doing this weekend now
re: social media (-), (2/2)
@ReyCasting damn wholeheartedly agree with all of that
i don't think we've ever had a community other than a few scattered close friends we collected together in one discord server that nobody really seems intent on participating in
@hazel what is the world coming to

social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

newer mastodon users please stop trying to rationalize antisocial behaviour challenge (impossible)
the people telling me i need to be using alt text and CW because this isn't twitter are the same people who keep thinking liking someone's post conveys anything (reach, acknowledgement) other than that you like their post because that's what it did in twitter

TERFs are fascists! 😊🥰💜
@pencilears in general people litter because nobody views it as making more than a small individual mess so we shouldn't change it right
there sure are people on the internet insistent on being wrong and boy do they know how to push my buttons to keep arguing with them 🫠
getting told that every website having https is "devaluing the worth" of websites having https, like every website has it now so it doesn't mean anything
while also arguing that google "did the right thing" forcing every website to have https (whether they handle sensitive data or not)
which, as someone who disagrees that static websites need https, i have not heard worse technical arguments in a long while

@mavica_again it's the same with like, fundraiser/donation posts, I see ones with stuff like 'please donate I have 2 days to raise $500 to not get kicked out' and there'll be 5+ times the number of likes compared to boosts and it's like, you are not helping, you are not contributing, you are telling a vulnerable person you saw their struggle and couldn't be bothered to press one button to give them a slightly wider reach

"but they're acknowledging you" no they are being unhelpful and you are being patronizing
and i don't mean in a mansplaining kind of way or "how do i do x in y" "use z instead"
i mean "how do i do x" "rando favourited your post"
like it's just non-sequiturs. i'm in a don hertzfeldt skit
