Look at this dood, showing off their wealth being able to afford EKETs.

So what is that like 3 million per lay off?

I see no problems with someone showing frustration, and in this case I don’t think arch should be proud of this example.

This is very much that, and why arch has the reputation it does. It will always be a fringe distro with the way the people (you included) shame and gatekeep.

Oh pebkac is alive and well, no doubt about it. But expecting any level of expertise from an non commercial end user while simultaneously shooting down their questions is not going to help.

I would make a joke here about arch and gatekeeping but its not just an arch issue.

Why even type this?

Do you feel better doing so?

This is not a support forum, this is not tech support, this is lemmy and other then giving a great example of what the OP is getting at what does your comment address?

Sure, but when I am looking for an answer toxic positivity and RTFM are often the same thing. The number of times people jump up to defend the manual and glaze the program without even checking if the info is in the manual (or if the manual even makes sense at all) is way too high.

I used to have to work on new stuff all the time and would have to read whitepapers or engineering change docs on the daily, and no the tangled mess most Linux documentation is in does not count as a functioning source of information.

The part that still grinds my gears is why bother to type out nothing of value like RTFM at all? Forums are filled with terrible posts belittleing the question instead of just answering the question. Its not helping anyone and at least to me makes little sense.

Not wanting to help would be better then this, its like they just want to “win” the support ticket. Its so terribly counterproductive.

Ah yes, the issue with modern Linux, the community.

I feel the shift to the current “git gud” style of blaming the user in any support has done more damage to Linux then any part of the software.

Hey, don’t mean to be an ass but normally arguments need two sides. The behaviour of one of the admins of hexbear being so abrasive does have a lot to do with the reluctance to fund Lemmy by many here. This is (if you go way to the top of this chain) about the experience of a user with .ml and what follows is important to the conversation of the longevity of lemmy.

Did you just link to the very comment chain this reply is part of? Why? What does this even mean, is this some meta joke?

Ok, then where is the lie? All you have to do is show us. I am quite ok to reply to these for a long time myself, as it is nice and sunny out and I don’t need to spend “hours of my life” to do it. Also I would like to point out that what you call “pointless banter” it the core purpose of Lemmy.

As special as the report you filed, being "name calling. “uncivil” like behavior. ", which to be honest had been you this entire time

If you can show me where I was, sure. Its all there however, As anyone can see by reading above this whole chain is just replies to you. I don’t even think I made a point or position known other then I don’t think calling someone a “lying little shit” is appropriate for catching a rule 1 ban (with as is always provided with zero explanation) from .ml of all places.

Really? Is this just something you apply to everyone that disagrees with you online, or am I special?

Are you having part of this discussion in your head? The last 3 replys you posted don’t even seem grounded in reality.

When was I hit? Sometimes I wonder if people are just replying using a preset of responces without regard to the subject.

Ah there it is, the implication I was on reddit, the attempt to insult my intelligence, and of course the complete disregard to typing anything that has even a passing resemblance to the current discussion. As is tradition.

Facts? What facts? Better be careful with such things, you could be seen as being uncivil.

Also really funny if you read that with some comprehension as “You’re more than entitled to believe anything other than the facts.” implies someone is expected (more then entitled) to believe anything over the facts (so lies). In this context this is chefs kiss amazing.

reason: Rule 1

From the modlog that seems to be a ban without explanation, as is tradition. Since there is no explanation on these “rule 1” bans (temporary or not) I tend to take them in the worst possible light. And since the first two (and only other mod actions) where to remove “I’m going to take a wild guess that posters and downvoters in this thread don’t live in actual communist countries. Endorsing hammer and sickle is just as bad as endorsing swastikas…” and “Yeah great, because what we need now is soviet propaganda. This needs to die” according to the mod logs their story checks out.

Only in the rear.
