People, it’s not this black and white either.

If you think issues in a relationship can be solved with logic/rationality only… good luck!

Having said that. Yup, she’s got issues that go beyond “the usual.”

Edit: Downvoted by armchair relationship coaches.

What if we give everyone a vibrating massage gun?

What is this “public consciousness” you are talking about? Like, tech writers? And that’s a genuine question…

Because if I tell my elderly father “hey dad, I’ll install Linux on your machine,” he won’t say “ah, Linux, yes, I’ve been reading for the past 15 years that it’s a difficult operating system, right?” He will say “what the hell is Linux?!”

Freaking autocorrect, man…!

The analogy showing a difficult task is the point. “It’s more difficult.” Yeah, to you. Opening a terminal and typing a command for something you don’t do often feels like second nature to you, because you’re an expert. You’re already using Linux. Try teaching that to a thousand grampas. Good luck retaining your sanity.

“It’s less steps” is not the point.

The point is that a lot of people will never ever use a terminal. EVER. And if they have to do that just to install a program, that’s already asking too much. They’re used to pointing, clicking, double-clicking and typing for communication.

Imagine if you’re used to driving cars and filling up the gas tank, well, the usual way. Now there’s this new tinkerer’s car that everyone is raving about. And your dad asks “how do I fill up the gas tank?” (or recharge the battery, or whatever), and someone says “oh, just go under the car and plug the cable into the orange slot right behind the left back axle. It’s that easy!”

Because AI!!!

lets* them do it.

As simple as an exe? You mean clicking on the installer and follow instructions? That may be typical, but easy, it ain’t.

Oh man. In one comment I’m defending how easy it is to use Linux.

And here I am, still surprised that, in 2024, there are techies saying stuff like “oh that’s easy. Just open the terminal and…”

…and you’ve lost a potential convert.

The second part of your comment is on point, though.

That hasn’t been true in at least a decade.

Who’s upvoting you?!

Car making without the tracking bullshit!

God I hate that c word.

He wrote it in a tongue-in-cheek article.

I don’t like the guy, but I read the article and I chuckled a couple of times.

No.

its* creator.

The message is heavily distorted by bow.

I see what you did there.

Hey everyone, the message heavily distorted my bow!

For centuries the treatment gays got was ‘stay hidden or else’.

Citation and location needed? I’m a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, but I don’t think that sentence is accurate.

Edit: Guys… there have been civilizations in which homosexuality was okay. I’m not going to say was pervasive, but it definitely was a thing. If you’re talking about Western values, then that’s a different thing.

Oh, got it! Yup. In that context, that was quite the inaccurate sentence.

What do you mean by this? Genuinely curious…
