Lol brother, you were the one that introduced the context of “new Linux users”.

Linux community: why don’t more people use Linux?

I’m not whitewashing anything, I’m not being elitist. The only thing I’m trying to say is that if the Linux community wants to attract more users, we should absolutely be turning up our noses at WSL, like Homelander here in this meme. Because it’s a niche tool, not something a new Linux user should be daily driving.

Saying “don’t use WSL as your first Linux distro” isn’t gatekeeping though, it’s just good advice.

How?

Encouraging the use of WSL to new Linux users is asinine. It’s a niche tool with a shitload of bugs and caveats, not something that should be widely used as a daily driver. It’s not “shitting on” anyone to tell them they shouldn’t be using WSL as their daily driver distro, just like it’s not “shitting on” someone to tell them not to use a hammer to drive in a screw.

One of the main points of using Linux is so that you don’t have to use Windows. Like I get WSL is useful in certain scenarios, but it’s whole existence is basically counter to why the majority of Linux users use Linux.

Nah, absolutely not. Putting a profit incentive on the news is how we end up with how the news currently is - reaction-bait with the sole purpose of driving engagement and views to generate ad revenue, instead of actual, unbiased, honest journalism.

Please do yourself a favor and look further back than 7 years into their discography, I’m begging you

The trilogy? No there’s like 15 books in The Wheel of Time series

I do love my Ma and Pa

Lmao I’m not upset dawg, just matching your nitpicks with more nitpicks

The variance involved in converting cups of flour to grams is much greater than any gravitational variances caused by elevation or location. So that’s sort of irrelevant here.

Grams are a measure of mass or weight. I assume we’re talking about measuring this flour here on planet earth, within the effects of its gravitational field lol

184 grams is a touch high for “a cup of flour”, but I’m not gonna check your math, and the comic probably wanted to use “close enough” round-ish numbers. The weight of a cup of flour is usually somewhere between 120g and 145g, going by the conversions used by major baking recipe publishers like King Arthur, Cooks Illustrated, Washington Post, New York Times, etc.

They know who plays their games and more importantly who buys their games.

Is this not a bit of a “chicken and egg” argument though? Adults have pretty much always been the ones buying games, but they haven’t always been making them for adults. Even if kids are less than a quarter of all gamers, they’re still a sizeable chunk of the audience. Doesn’t really make sense to just ignore them.

Sir this is a cute cat pic meme

If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it’s actually pretty wholesome, would recommend

Hey why do you think they call it “grave” danger

A scheme like this is hard to replicate because, in addition to money, it needs a core team with a clear vision and the time to really make it a focus of their lives.

Sounds like an opportunity for the local government, and a way to create local jobs.

The anger isn’t (necessarily) for the rich person who housed people. It’s for the system who left people homeless in the first place, the system that will put those people back on the streets if they don’t pay rent/property taxes/whatever other fee people have to pay to exist, the system where the solution is literally just “have rich people pay their share and almost everything will be fixed” but for some reason the people in charge can’t (or don’t want to) figure that out.

You conflating anger with the system with anger for people getting houses is disingenuous.

No, they’re run by ancient douche bags that are constantly finding loopholes in the current laws that allow (if not encourage) them to make bigger vehicles.

If they were desperately trying to hold onto the past, the new Ford Ranger reboot wouldn’t be nearly the same size as an F-150.

Uh, it’s not a lizard with a fungal infection, it’s clearly a frog/plant symbiote. Gosh
