- StudentStuff 9y agoBryan is just that type though, having attended multiple (fairly good) talks by him, he is happy to call you on your bullshit. Yes, he'll say Pulseaudio sucked, and call out X11 as the insecure pile it is. He is a straight shooter though, you know exactly what to expect. Thats why the group that makes the OS on most grocer's POS systems employs him, he is basically #QuitYourBullshit IRL, with some humor on top.
- talaketu 9y agoextreme zeal is the worst aspect? ok, great.
- StudentStuff 9y agoIf you don't feel supportive of that zeal, or are on the wrong end of it, extreme zeal can be quite off putting. That being said, it is far from the worst part of the community, that is by far reserved for the bullshit that some community members have pulled on those of us that are female. I've seen talking down to active Ubuntu Local Community heads at conferences and local happenings put on by said Ubuntu LoCos and it is HORRIBLE. Why the fuck do certain people feel the need to repeatedly harass a volunteer?
