      That’s how exceptions work, yes. I’m glad you’ve confirmed that you understood correctly what I was communicating with language. What’s the problem, you’re offended by the word “literally” or…?

        Your comment was a useless tautology. I’m surprised anyone upvoted it.

        Your comment offended me. You could have phrased it so much nicer. I’ll have a go at doing so:

        I’m glad it’s being updated. No one should use it for a Linux drive, but it’s good that people can safely mount old Windows drives with it.

        That’s saying the exact same thing without being so cynical about it. These Linux communities on Lemmy are just so damn cynical. I get tired of it, and I chose you as an outlet for my frustration.

        Phrasing it the way you did is such a circle-jerky, virtue-signaling thing to do. Why even make that kind of comment?

        If you think your comment was totally benign and no one should have thought it was a weird thing to say, then I don’t know what to tell you, and I think you just need to accept my lighthearted mockery of your strangely worded, cynical comment.
