Not everybody understands English 100%.
The guy in the old west who drew his gun and said “them’s fightin’ words?” He probably didn’t enough English to understand the whole sentence but picked out a few words which meant to him “fight.”
- KAMSPioneer 2y agoOf course not everyone understands English perfectly. Even among native speakers it's easy to misunderstand (especially on a web forum). I wasn't making a judgement. Anyway, it was pointed out that the same user that said "dead in the water" did indeed comment upthread that BSDs will "end up dying," so goes to show that I wasn't paying attention.
- asveikau 2y agoI am a native English speaker raised in Washington DC. I am literally pointing out that Wayland enthusiasts love to gang on X11 as "dead" as a put-down and anybody who still uses it is evil or something. It's a toxic attitude that I've seen a lot here. It should ... pardon the metaphor .... die.
