This is 100% due to Microsoft, google and Apple. If you dont understand, I'm not defending my position, or explaining further.

Tangent: what’s this trend all about where people will make a statement and then firmly state that they will not answer questions or explain themselves afterwards?

I’m seeing it everywhere.

Presumably it's people who are tired of dealing with troll responses.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I just never read replies. Have people answer me and then never get back to them or even just read their well thought out comment.

Sanity.

Working server side much? Pretty sure a lot of us spend a lotta time on fixing shit unrelated to either of those 3… Not that it diminishes the merit of our IT support dude that endure due to those 3 indeed.

He uses arch btw

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

One thing I appreciate about Arch is that it's quick to set up if you don't care and still need something kinda controllable.

Since I don't reinstall everything every week, I'm fine with Void. But I've used Arch for a month or so. It's sane.

Oracle vies with MS as to who fucks me more often each working week. Cuurrently Oracle is pippng MS for biggest fucker award. If you don't understand, you've never had to use Oracle (front end / web UI products - tbf the back end DB usually works ok).
