…holy cow. I also thought you were joking. When I read the headline and that Z6 is the "biggest upgrade in Zotero's history," I was absolutely looking forward to it ditching XULRunner and friends.
This… this is not what I had in mind.
- cxr 5y agoThis isn't a very nice comment. It reads like the equivalent of someone trying to use high school bully tactics to make someone else feel bad by convincing them that if they don't stop being weird then no one will like them. No actual criticism—just straight up "look at the weirdo"-tier sniping.
- IshKebab 5y agoI mean, that is weird. I don't think he was trying to bully anyone. It's just a super awkward way to build software.
- runiq 5y agoI certainly wasn't intending to bully anyone, yeah. I understand why they're doing it that way, it's just unexpected.
- cxr 5y agoLooks like you failed to absorb the point of the previous comment: No actual criticism—just straight up "look at the weirdo". Instead of addressing that, you just embraced it: > I mean, that is weird So? The purpose of my comment wasn't to dispute that it was weird. Want to stipulate that it's weird? Fine, granted. Pointing out that something is weird, however, is not a sufficient substitute for substance.
- IshKebab 5y agoI think we all thought that the things that make it weird and inadvisable are self-evident.
- cxr 5y agoTrying to appeal to the argument that everyone _knows_ you're a weirdo—as, once again, a substitute for articulating any sort of actual criticism—is for losers. You don't want everyone to think you're a loser, do you? GFY
