  • BLM and ACAB are very American centric movements/sentiments. Hence why I took your comments to be American focused.

    Whilst I’ve heard the phrase “thin blue line” before, it’s never been something associated with racist overtones or subjugative ones in my experience. More that the police is a small community protecting the larger population.

    As such, someone using it context of not allowing the proliferation something is reasonable, if possibly histrionic in this case.




  • It was fine when rendering (esp. text) was server side and not client side like it is now. At least LAN (10MB ethernet) was basically transparent. Internet was shit mainly because everyone was on 56k modems.

    GTK and Qt do all their rendering client side and transfer bitmaps to the server requiring much more bandwidth.




  • Just learn the basic POSIX commands (there’s probably 20-25) and understand pipes. Then you can do pretty much anything you’re likely to need from the command line. Sure, there will be more modern flashy friendly tools that come along. Some you’ll integrate into what you do. Some won’t have enough staying power to remember.

    No notes. No googling or LLM. Just don’t skip to the end.

    For most people, using Linux is not a buggy experience. So no, people aren’t gaslighting you. Normally, you grab a modern release like the latest Fedora or Ubuntu and you can get a live desktop up in seconds booting from a USB stick.

    Esoteric hardware can be a problem if particular driver haven’t been developed yet. That tends to hit laptops harder than desktops, but it’s much less of an issue than it used to be.

    People are asking for specifics because they don’t share your experience and so can’t fill in the blanks.
