A community that prides itself on insults is not a welcoming or user friendly community. "Get good" and "you're holding it wrong" drive people away.

Windows is arguably philosophically user-hostile. Anyone who's ever tried to get support online with a question about Linux will quickly meet *actual* user hostility as they're asked why they didn't know to check for the conf

That's a lot of words to say "I didn't click on the linked video of someone doing it on physical hardware".

No, employees have no obligations to shareholders. They get money for their labor. End of obligation. They are not the corporation. This is ignoring that the concept of companies having to care about shareholders above everything else is a

"acting in the interests of shareholders" (which, for the record, no employment contract I've ever signed requires) does not mean blind allegiance to management and certainly doesn't mean not calling out bad actions by m

Linux is a lot like Rick and Morty: I don't mind it, but I never want to be publicly associated with any of it's biggest fans.
