Lol we talked about that back when Google implemented dynamic rendering

So now you’re telling a guy who lived the experience that he is mistaken. Kid. Enough. You have no idea what you’re talking about, like, at all.

You enjoy your evening.

Its a myth. but hey, lets not facts get in the way of anything. y know, like individual circumstances, actual ages of the people in charge running the government and tech companies, etc.

if you believe the myth, then you’ve been led around by the nose by big tech. y know the the predominately gen x’ers who run the tech world.

BTW I’m a gen xer. born in 68. know more about tech than most millennials( though probably less than many here of any age) and less about cars than most gen x’ers. Know what that says? Means I spent my time differently than others in my generation, same as every generation. Stop with the myth.

there ya go. here’s a guy/gal who understands the issues.

look can we stop with the boomer crap? that is a myth and disproved so many times. lets work together instead of insulting whole generations of people we don’t know

And now you’re lying. Man. You really are going to tell me that’s what I said?

You’re being silly … that’s what I’m Saying. You can have an opinion all you want, you can stand by it, and you can defend it, but none of that makes you any less incorrect or insufferable. .good day.

Don’t sit there being obtuse. One of the benefits of foss is that actual users help test the software and bring feedback to make it better

You just want to be thought of as special

Developers of software are a dime a dozen and becoming an outdated profession. Keep the smugness out of this otherwise. Good day

Honestly kid. I’m done with this. You know the answer to that. I’m done with this. You’re all just too exhausting.

And again that is a Linux issue. Because no one wants to be thought of as insufferable as it appears Linux contributes are.

If one doesn’t want valid critique, one should take their software private and leave everyone alone.

Otherwise anyone can make all the critiques they want. Don’t like it? Don’t do things in public. Make the software privately and alone

" the day I start caring about what non-contributers think …"

Be sure not to wear your actual gate keeping opinion on Your sleeve if you want to deny them .

And here I am at 58 years old still having to fix millennial and zoomers issues.

Doesn’t mean all millennials or zoomers are technically illiterate. Means that they had to focus on other things to live in their lives.

Want people to learn how to research and grow? Meet them where they are on their journeys.

Not pretending anything. Saying they’re both acting silly. Eos.

Have a nice day

we should all be extremely well versed in how our government works, how to make meals , how to fix our clothes, how to grow our own food, and how to spot a person who’s scamming us, as well be able to do all of the other specialized things humans need ti stay alive

guarantee neither of us knows everything on that list as well as we should, I a double damn guarantee those re all far more important than a PC .

not that hat you do, or your interest aren’t important to you, and I am not making light of then, but I think you get where I’m heading

took over 55 years for me to stop assuming we all have the same 24 hours we don’t , so we prioritize learning different things to survive

They can and should. But they don’t. They really only cater to the techie, because that’s who uses it

Then they got pissed when their “marketing” efforts fall shorts.

Stop acting like non Linux users are dumb. They aren’t. they’ve used the time others spent learning other thing, while others spent their time on techie things . Their priorities were different. Or maybe their poor and don’t care about that as they need a PC but have to work 80 hours to feed their family.

But no. Instead of making life better through foss for those who need it, you’re making Linux some unattainable nerd toy.

We can tell ourselves we don’t care. But we do. Or the thread wouldn’t be here

Or, maybe yo will understand when you grow up that people are good at different things.

Garuntee there’s some pretty easy things for me to do that you would get left behind trying to do, and not just on PC

Same for you. You know some things you’d blow me away doing.

Just because you don’t know what I know , and vice versa, doesn’t mean people are dumb.

Means they’ve learned different things.

You’re both being silly. Ones a gatekeeper, ones a name caller

Want to know what’s wrong with Linux? The community.

Are seriously that obtuse.? Why would Anyone think any better of your conversation when that is the level of discourse you bring?

"Wut? " What a classic symptom of the dumbing down of society, but you go ahead and keep feeling superior

“Wut”. Way to make yourself look less than literate.

In any case I’m done with this. Have a good day

So. We just encourage ignorance and security threats so we… can… be … better than them? I don’t think that’s the healthiest outlook …

Super glad you understand my point. it honestly is the one thing holding us back I believe

Yeah I love linux, but it’s user experience , while light years ahead of what I used in the late nineties and early aughts, is still clunky compared to others.

That being said, honestly most of linux’s issues are GUI related, when it comes to going mainstream. The capabilities and efficiency are far ahead of windows and mac os but most users don’t care.

Directions, examples and mundane work should all be seamless for mainstream consumers.

A good rule of thumb is, " if a user has to look for it to fix it, or open a terminal window to install software, then it won’t be accepted fully.

Mainstream users don’t want to type commands in a prompt. Why does everyone think windows blew DOS out of the water in sales? It wasn’t because DOS wasn’t working. It was, hell early windows ( I started on 3.11 so that’s my limit of knowledge ) still used DOS.

So bottom line. Start putting the non tech consumer first or we’ll forever be stuck in this “almost mainstream” category forever.

I was born before we landed on the moon. So could be.

You do know the world has been around longer than 40 years, right?

And you weren’t around when the Internet was born if you’re under 40, hell if your under 50, using the the 1970s as a generous approximation of the appearance of packet networks, you still weren’t around at the birth of the internet.
