Insufferable FOSS/Linux nerds are ruining Lemmy.

Polar,

Unless you’re showering in the basement, then your pump doesn’t work, and you’ll flood the basement as soon as you fill up the waste water tank.

Polar,

How does gravity pump the water from a basement UP? Sump pumps are used.

Polar,

Then the comment obviously doesn’t relate to you. I stated in the first comment about a basement.

If you don’t have a basement, you can’t shower in your basement…

Polar,

I can also disconnect from the main and have hot water. Not sure what a water heater has anything to do with pumping the basement waste water out to the city/septic tank.

It’s definitely not specific to my area. Septic tanks are common around the world, for example.

Polar,

Also pretty easy to tell by the large, bolded, SPONSORED text on the top left.

Especially since English is read top left to bottom right.

I’m all for calling out shit, but this can’t really be more obvious.

Polar,

Then it sounds like a you problem…

Polar,

Because Lemmy is full of insufferable entitled assholes.

Polar,

Read. Use your fucking brain and read. Don’t make excuses for not fucking reading.

Polar,

You should awfully like someone who can’t read and blames others for their own mistakes.

Polar,

Lemmy users are so fucking annoying. All of the shitty people from Reddit moved here.

Polar,

In Canada my girlfriend was exposed. She called the testing places to tell them, and to book a test. They told her no, and to go away.

When I realized the already small percentage of people that are trying to use this system were being denied, I disabled it. It’s actually useless.

Polar,

You use Arch, btw, right?

Polar,

She’s 4/10 to me. Even before I recognized who she was.

People have different tastes.

Polar,

Antisocial people.

It was the same on Reddit. All of the people who despised emojis were often posting in really cringe and incel related subs.

My use of emojis sky rocketed after I started dating. They are fun and convey emotion really well.

Polar,

You mean Apple changed it to a water gun and everyone followed suite as to not have an issue?

Thanks, America, and your mass shootings.

Polar,

YouTube isn’t suffering. Lemmy has an active userbase of just over 30K. Given the fact a lot of people have multiple accounts (I do), that’s less than 30K active users.

On top of that, probably less than half of Lemmy users actually cry about YouTube.

Even if we are generous, and say the entirety of Lemmy, and each user is unique, 30K is nothing lol.

Polar,

Tangerine used to have 4-6 digit PIN (no password) to access your online-only account.

Not sure if they still do. I believe so, though.

Health misinformation and lack of confidence in vaccines continue to grow, years after the Covid-19 pandemic, survey shows (www.cnn.com)

Vaccine misinformation, which first began spiraling during the Covid-19 pandemic, has grown in the United States in the years since, according to a new survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania....

Polar,

COVID isn’t a flu, and treating it like it isn’t fair when you can be completely asymptomatic and spread it to someone who may have a really bad reaction to it.

The thing about the flu is that it has very obvious symptoms. You’re not getting the seasonal flu without knowing it. Meanwhile you may never know you have COVID, spread it to an immunocompromised person, and they die.

Polar,

Racists angry over 1 simple word change that better describes the function of said list.

Polar,

It was changed a long while ago because of race. Grow up. Stop being outraged and melodramatic over a fucking word change to be more inclusive.

Blacklist = blocked

Whitelist = allowed

Calling things slave/master

Not to mention allow list and block list just make sense.

Polar,

I think calling a block list “black” and an allow list “white” makes no sense.

Allow/block makes sense. White/black makes no sense. Words have meaning, let’s use them properly.

If you’re upset about changing the words to better explain what they do, you’re racist. There’s literally no reason to oppose a word change when it makes it easier to understand.

Polar,

Or we can be happy they changed it to something easier to understand.

If you’re angry about a word change, when it makes it easier to understand, you’re probably racist.

I’m glad it’s easier to understand, and has the added benefit of PoC feeling more inclusive.

You’re angry because… idk? You’re racist? There’s no other reason to be outraged.

Polar,

How was white and black descriptive?

I remember making a Minecraft server in 2009 and not understanding what whitelist and blacklist meant.

Allow/Block makes sense. White/Black doesn’t.

Polar,

Whatever you’re putting in the allow list is being allowed.

Usernames, IPs, etc.

Whatever you’re putting in the block list is being… blocked.

English is easy. Fuck off.

Polar,

Just wait until you hear about what his brother wants to do. Privatize healthcare. And conservatives are jumping for joy about it.

Kinda weird that conservatives bitch non stop about a few bucks in taxes, but think paying $15,000 out of pocket for an x-ray is the way.

Polar,

I’m not embarrassed. I’m just tired of being insulted.

It’s funny because it seems like everyone who attacks my code has nothing to show for themselves. Too busy telling others the “right” way to do things lol.

Polar,

Didn’t realize correcting false information is boot licking.

Enjoy living in your own reality where you tell yourself whatever makes you feel better.

Polar,

They just moved it. It’s still in place. Thanks for proving me right.

Polar,

Having a discussion about paying for things isn’t garbage. You’re just poor and salty.

Polar,

Go back to your broken Linux and PeerTube lmao

Polar,

No. That’s why we have healthcare, legalized weed, decriminalized drugs, and have almost zero shootings.

Polar,

I hate having to reach to the top of my 7" phone to type in an address.

Polar,

Weird, because it works on Windows. Sounds like a Linux issue.

Polar,

Ok, and you have claimed you can fix it. Tell me how you’re going to fix a Steam issue?

Oh wait, it’s almost like you’re full of shit and you can’t fix it. Get lost, liar.

Polar,

Lmao imagine having to fix Steam 😂😂😂😂😂 just works in Windows.

Linux L

Polar,

And I’m not apologizing, you autistic creep.

You’re angwy and upswet at me for saying Linux doesn’t work well.

You are the one insulting me, and say I need to apologise to you? Lmao.

Grow up. Fuck off. You may have luck trying to control others in your life, but you can’t control me. Enjoy having to fix basic issues in Linux. Also enjoy your slow af internet.

Sorry my ass. I’m sorry I didn’t block you sooner and let your autistic retarded comments show up in my inbox.

You’re literally stalking me. You said you came back to my profile to see how I made out, and then proceeded to comment on like 8 of them.

You’re a creepy sad person. Enjoy your 500Mbps lmao.

Polar,

Imagine having to fix download speeds. What year is it? 1953?

Polar,

You proved nothing, and you’re toxic as shit. You’re the worst kind of Linux user. You’re gate keeping a fix that is preventing others from using Linux, because you’re a childish autistic moron that thinks an internet stranger should apologise to you for saying Linux is broken.

Go away, Tony.

Enjoy the year of Linux 3057.

Polar,

I have to, because I don’t live in America. Microsoft can’t put ads in my region.

How’s Ubuntus partnering with Amazon going? Still putting Amazon ads in search results?

Polar,

I’m a trash human because I said Linux doesn’t just work?

I’m the insecure loser, yet you’re the one demanding I APOLOGIZE for saying Linux doesn’t work?

Touch grass.

Polar,

Ok, Anthony Hanneman.

Polar,

I know. You also posted your address, probably not meaning to, and you posted a photo of your back yard.

Perhaps the moron is you?

I didn’t dox you. You publicly post this info.

Polar,

0, because you’re a nobody YouTuber wannabe loser.

I used a VPN. I’m not a moron. Not that it matters, I can just change my Mac address and get a new IP address in 5 seconds.

Polar,

I did, though. Perhaps friends from my group chat didn’t, but I don’t think they really care.

I didn’t threaten you, but you threatened me. I’ll be reporting you to your local authorities.

Polar,

Just saying, a guy threatened me 8 years ago who lived in the US. I contacted his local authorities and he ended up getting in quite a bit of shit.

Again, I never threatened you. I said you’re a moron because you posted your address and a photo of your garage on the internet.

YOU posted that stuff PUBLICALLY.

You’re threatening me by claiming to have my IP address, and that you’ve scraped my profile, downloaded a local copy, and you’ll be using it against me.

One is a moron posting personal information online, the other is someone gathering private (not publicly available info), and using it to triangulate my location.

Polar,

I feel safe because I don’t live in America where gun violence is an issue. It’s also my first time having an argument about something as stupid and autistic as network issues on Linux. Let’s not forget who called out the other person first. It was you. Calling me a moron, and then coming back to my profile days later to continue.

I also feel safe because I used a VPN.

I’m sure if you look at your logs you’ll see a few different IP addresses. Like I said, my friends also looked at your website.

Why would I connect via VPN and then turn it off? That makes no sense.

Either way, let me know if I should proceed. I’m familiar with starting the process of reporting someone who threatened me online, said they’ll use my IP to geolocate me, and asking me if I feel safe at night.

Polar,

My VPN is automatically connected with a killswitch. It’s always on. It’s not possible for me to connect without it. Like I said, you’re seeing my friends IP addresses.

You clearly don’t understand what threatening means. Saying I’ll regret it, and I’ll see where it leads, are threats.

I’m done discussing this with you directly.
