  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I’ll concede that I don’t know what political affiliations you have, but you are definitely acting like many of them do.

    If I tell you my political affiliation, will you stop with this bloody stupid attempt of argumentum ad hominem?

    I'm mostly Trotskyist, but influenced by Bakunin style anarchism and a few things of the Fabian Society. I don't usually discuss politics through this account but you can see signs that I'm Marxist here, and signs that I'm socially progressive here.

    The issue being discussed is completely orthogonal to politics.

    Pedagogy does not refer to teaching children, it refers to teaching in general.

    Finally some actual argument. I hereby retract the point concerning infantilisation, then.

    The point about screaming ("think on the feelings!") still applies however. He's dealing with adults, not children. You're expected to

    1. Be responsible enough to not be a burden in any collective task that you might join.
    2. Correct your mistakes. (More later on this.)
    3. Not lose your marbles because someone highlighted that the output of your work is less than desirable.

    (You're also expected to not be assumptive as a brick, but... eh.)

    Teaching others when working with software is expected, and it is expected to do so in an effective manner.

    You know what's expected when working with software? Working with software. Stopping the development to spoonfeed others is at most secondary.

    And even then, Torvalds went out of his way to instruct the muppet in question on what he did wrong. (You probably didn't bother checking the context of the utterance, right? Go figure.) And that "AGAIN" shows that he did it multiple times, and the other guy was not correcting his mistake.

    Now you’re just grasping at straws,

    "This is wrong cuz I said so, chrust me" is not an argument.

    and this continues the trend of acting like a right-winger which I mentioned before.

    Refer to what I said at the start.

    For what it’s worth, I’ve worked with plenty of Finnish developers

    Anecdotal evidence, "chrust me" style. Plus outright distorting what I said, thus straw man. *rolls eyes*

    At this rate it's somewhat clear that you are really eager to be at least disingenuous, if not worse (irrational). Since there's another poster trying to back up similar reasoning as yours, minus the blatant idiocy, I'll simply disregard your further "contributions".

    ~~"Thank you for your contribution! Sadly, it was rejected. But don't feel discouraged, try it again!"~~ Your comment is garbage and you are not contributing jack shit with this discussion.
