  • Of course. I’m not happy about many things, but that doesn’t give me the right to harass somebody.

    They are not being harassed, but are being shown in this way that their intentions and behavior are more than just shit

    Pointing out something politely is very different from jumping on a bandwagon and spamming an issue, or creating meme issues and meme pull requests. We should be better than that.

    Is that really what we want? Anything slightly popular making a misstep to be hounded by an online mob?

    This is not a misstep. They just don’t want to hire developers for Winamp and rather try to outsource the work to others for no cost. And then they call it copyleft while forbidding anyone to do anything else with the source code except sending them pull requests. That’s disrespectful, rude and simply shameless. This is fully calculated, not a misstep. If it was just a misstep, then I would agree with you about these meme pull requests and so on. Saying this, I absolutely understand why the receive such “feedback”.


  • This whole thing sounds more like a way to get some pull requests to fix their product for free. That’s not open source. The source code is simply available, that’s all. In the first run they even prohibited to fork it (!!!) while it is necessary to work on this project. They may fixed it, but you are still not allowed to do anything with it, only provide free work. Of course people are not happy with it.

    They should delete this repo and change their license if they want contributors for free. Or just hire programmers for money.


  • You described a problem you have with an OS you use, which I fix every day at work. No Linux, just Windows. It is the most normal thing, that drivers might not work or the Hardware is faulty. We often have to change something, try different things and you don’t need Linux to tinker around, the Windows environment offers enough opportunity to do so. And your problem sounds like a driver problem or maybe faulty hardware. It has nothing to do with Linux.

    You definitely don’t work in IT, otherwise you wouldn’t mentioned printing. Printers are evil beings itself and these fuckers don’t care wich OS you use, they just don’t want to work properly. Hardware supports depends on the kernel. That’s normal, Windows 7 also doesn’t support newest hardware. There is still nothing specific Linux. Regarding UI: KDE Neon is great, try it.

    Yeah, Windows has problems. But those arise more typically for advanced users (and that’s including Windows 11 being more and more broken over time).

    Would this be true, I probably would need to change my profession.

    But until the more boring stuff gets worked out, it’ll still be hard for it to be used more commonly, and thus harder for it to get more funding and usage as well.

    Because of your ethernet problem? I understand that you are mad for the problems you have now, but I wouldn’t use your experience with the ethernet NIC as a basis for the question how good all Linux distributions are usuable for everyday work.

    Idk, maybe it’s just Debian based distros these days and I’m behind in the curve. Fedora based ones like Bazzite haven’t given me issues so far at least.

    Look, drivers get updated or introduced in newer Linux kernels. You could decide which distribution you want to use depending on the kernel. amdgpu got fucked up since a specific release and my RX580 won’t work if it loads, so I am still using an older kernel. In Windows the drivers crashes often sadly. You need to look how well a specific hardware works and then decide which kernel you should use. We always do this on work with Windows and it is really needed, because manufactures sometimes don’t really care about there drivers and compatibility with newer Windows 10 versions or Windows 11.

    This is probably also the reason why you got downvoted so much, because you describe a generic, OS independent problem and then you blame Linux kernel for it and all Linux distributions, while you are using a specific distribution named Linux Mint. If you replace Linux with Window in your rant, it would be the same way wrong. But I hope that your problem gets fixed. You are free to describe your problem in specific communities, they probably might find a solution with you together.









  • I made great experience with DeepL. They offer not only translation but also the option to rewrite your text. Here is example:

    hi, I don’t know if I can make it to the appointment. I hope you are well.

    This has been transformed to:

    Hi there! I’m really sorry but I’m not sure if I can make it to the appointment. I hope you are well and I look forward to seeing you soon!

    Sometimes also ChatGPT may be a help to. I once forgot to greet my father when he had birthday. I told GPT what I want and how the stile should be. I had a positive respond from him. Try it out, it might help you!


  • Is it a feature of the digital system that those of us with anxiety won’t be able to participate fully?

    Tbh It is more an issue for me to participate analog than digital. Social interaction through audio and video is a burden for me and it of course applies for RL interactions.

    I don’t post about my life on social media, yet that is what is expected to be a participating member of today’s society.

    If the communication totally switches to the internet, even if peers are available locally, than it is indeed nothing good. Keeping digital footprint is important. But it is not expected to be a participating member of today’s society everywhere. It depends on age, country and so on. Peers in my age may have Instagram or whatever but it is not that common. I don’t have Instagram and tbh I still don’t get why I should use it.

    Same reason I ignore important emails

    This is of course not good. To answer them is often needed for work or for official government stuff. Since AI exists, I am creating my responds with the help of it and then correct few things. It takes to much energy otherwise.




  • I legitimately think at this point the hate is just millennials turning into boomers and finding things about the younger generations they don’t understand and then removed about them. Kids are always gonna do and like shit that the older generation thinks is dumb. It’s literally all of human history is old people removed about young people. This is just the next thing.

    I absolutely agree with you. I remember how my parents said I was watching something stupid or even playing computer games was childish, because only children play games lol. With this experience of mine in mind, I try to understand what younger generations like or not. My biggest nightmare is to become like older people and then think:“Young people are all doing XZY and watching XZY, back in my days we did this and this!” or “We are doomed, this generation is stupid because skibidi toilet” while in the meantime being to dumb to understand cultural products like Dostoevsky or Göthe.

    Please kill me if I become someone like that.




  • He’s a Trotskyist

    Sadly it doesn’t say a lot. In fact, it has the same meaning as when you say “He’s a Marxist” or whatever. Important are the talking points.

    Look, his takes are just liberal poinst, there is nothing from Trotsky itself there. Reminds of the “Marxistische-Leninistische-Partei” in Germany. They talk something about Mao and Stalin, but are just reactionaries. Only the name is there.

    You should rather ask if he things, if the SU was state capitalist. Because this is a good starting point. If he says yes, then it is a easy game.

    It would be nice to know from where they were, if you want to understand their art of thinking.

    You won’t believe it but I am someone myself.


  • защищающаяся

    Try first to learn the pronunciation of защищать before you move to partizip stuff. Normal verbs and nouns have enough combinations of consonants and vocals. As soon as you know it good enough and also the suffix for all those male and female causes, защищающаяся should be more easy to pronounce.

    I think it is worth learning it. If you are familiar in the pronunciation of Ж,Щ,Ш, words in other languages will became more easier to pronounce too. If I don’t know how to read a Chinese City, name, river etc. I look how it is written in Cyrillic.
