    Let me firstly say that I 100% agree with all of the above. And secondly, I don’t work in tech.

    But I think most of the frustration from the grey beards is possibly because they’re burnt out. They’ve probably been answering the same questions their entire life. And there comes a point when the actual answer becomes, RTFM.

    I don’t agree it’s an appropriate response. The mere fact that the acronym has profanity in it suggests it’s an aggressive response.

    I’ve been on forums before where, instead of saying “RTFM”, someone had just linked me to the appropriate man page… Essentially the same message, but far more helpful and a much less insulting.

    In my opinion it’s not wrong to tell someone to read the manual, especially if the answer is in it, but it’s how you say it that matters.

    I cannot answer definitively, but it’s highly unlikely that windows could access any data from your Linux partition. That said, if you’re that concerned about the potential for this to happen, perhaps your shouldn’t use windows at all. This is coming from a PC gamer who uses Linux exclusively.




  • Just find a woman that swallows dude. Don’t neuter yourself just yet. Also the pill is very effective these days, and a chemical abortion is also cheap and less invasive than a vasectomy. And if your smart and in a long term relationship you can track your partners ovulation and raw dog some of the time.

    What I’m saying is, there are other options. Your also presuming that all the women you fuck will be ok with no condom. Women care about std’s too so you might find yourself needing to wear a rubber anyway. That would be ironic.


  • I had an argument with an American once over whether health care should be free or not. They’re so brainwashed into thinking that they’ll somehow be disadvantaged by a universal healthcare system even when they’re paying out their ass for private health insurance, and at the same time blaming patrons of their restaurant who don’t tip enough for their poor income while happily accepting minimum wage from their employer. It’s absolutely mental.




  • Well, I use Void Linux, Fedora, and NetBSD. All for different purposes. I just love the freedom to modify my system 'till my heart’s content. I’m generally a tiling WM (sdorfehs) on laptops and openbox/lxde on desktop.

    I appreciate minimal clean code.



  • Exactly. At the end of the day it is the human behind the computer that clicks send/post. Use AI all you want, just proof read the the stuff before publishing it. Some people don’t have a great vocabulary, and in some respect using AI can help to grow their vocabulary. Just don’t publish things you wouldn’t normally say, especially things you don’t fully understand.

    I’ve used AI intermittently to draft emails when time poor. It’s much faster to give ChatGPT a sloppy prompt with the gist of the message for it to then instantly spit out a full draft. The responsible thing to do then is to proof read it and make changes that make it more “you”. I think that’s fine.


  • I have always enjoyed good punctuation. And being a bit of a nerd myself, I used em dashes throughout University in my essays. To me it felt like a cool little keyboard shortcut that only few knew about. I still use them today—in emails and reports. I haven’t yet been personally called out for using AI, but I have noticed a lot more people using them.

    So what if people use AI to help them with their grammar and punctuation. At the end of the day, people are still sending messages they endorse—even if it’s not one they could have articulated without some help from AI.
