>many people are trying to milk Covid concerns merely to continue working from home or reaping other benefits that they value How is this "milking" anything? The last few years have proved that lots of white collar jobs…
No it clearly is targeted towards them too, judging from OP's other comments where they directly include people who have real issues.
I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make here. Every example you gave is someone "managing" at their own expense. When an immunocompromised person gets sick from a rave, no one else suffers directly from…
I don't need a reminder I'm in the extreme minority, my whole life is a reminder of that every single day.
Police unions are a special case that deserve special attention. They have a unique position that essentially makes them lawless organizations. They can hold the rest of the system hostage or just decide not to enforce…
Have you reported that as a bug?
It was never a bad idea. There are some problems that just can't be solved with throwing more money at it. The anti-union propaganda is so strong in some areas of this industry that it's manifested in that form of…
As someone who has health problems that forcibly put me in at least a few of those "discretionary lifestyle demands," it's a little condescending for you to just dismiss it later as "neuroticism and anxiety about…
No, there wasn't a point. Making these accusations is the personal attack and it's a non-falsifiable claim anyway. Once you go that route you're on a complete descent into nonsense conspiracy theories.
It's still not a rant. You didn't actually read my comment so you can stop with the characterizations and asking me to introspect, because you've already admitted nothing you say has any relation to what I actually…
Ok, sorry. I misquoted you. I should have said "isn't an attack" instead of "isn't an insult." Still, the rest of my comment is still relevant even with that change. There's no "attacks" anywhere in anything you've…
No, I'll continue calling people to task for expressing their opinions poorly or falling back on these bad justifications. Cut that out please, you're doing it now. Responding with "well I have a right to express my…
KDE isn't the environment of the Steam Deck. The environment of the Steam Deck is Steam running its own Gamescope compositor. The desktop mode runs KDE but that's optional and it's not the main mode because the Steam…
I have bad news for you, every alternative is going to be the same or worse. There's no good and clean solution for early boot services. The Linux kernel expects you to handle any of those issues in userspace with a…
That would just be trading one set of problems for another set of problems. Be careful what you wish for.
That goes both ways my friend. Open source maintainers have a right to dismiss substance-free complaints without needing to prove P = NP. Complaining about potholes is a great analogy. Repeatedly bringing up the pothole…
Sure, some people think Windows XP (also roughly 20 years old) was more pleasant too. But somehow, few of them are racing to format their hard drive and replace everything with Windows XP. I bet you could name a few…
I actually think the reason for that is economic and it does work IRL. What you think of as "power users" actually requires a lot of training, it's expensive to produce them. Their skill set still isn't enough to…
You can criticize all you want, but I notice you neglected to share any of that actual criticism in your comment. Closing a bug as wontfix isn't an insult, please stop taking that personally. All open source projects…
The comment on the higher up graph still says "I've excluded personal accounts" so a lot of data is just missing there. I'm not saying it's illegitimate to criticize anything. Please don't put words in my mouth. This is…
I never denied anyone that. Go criticize all you want. Just please stop with the conspiracy theories, it's bad discussion. You don't have to be a Red Hat customer, you could pay any other Linux consultancy.
GNOME can be fiddled with, just not in the same way as KDE. And KDE can simplified for installation on work computers, just not in the same way as GNOME. Personally I use GNOME now because it fits my current workflow…
Please stop with the trollish responses. Even if that was true (it's not), what makes you think Red Hat wants to start paying those costs?
[flagged]
Please stop with the conspiracy theories. GNOME is still very much a volunteer project. And KDE also gets corporate contributions too which they're very grateful to receive. GNOME isn't really against "choice" either,…
