    Right, I get you now.

    My comment was directed to people who are constanly talking about the same topic and do no speak about anything else and I specially have some extra annoyace for people doing that with politics. Even if I confront you with “You’re so quiet” and then you let it out, it will still be annoyed, no matter if I asked first or not. Like, me inviting you to open is very different than me signing up for a unending hangout-tracendent only-about-communism discussion…

    The comic is missing the frames with the other guy trying to change the topic and the other person perpetually stearing the conversation back to the same topic, which more often than not, I will entail some diaregard for the other party(s) in the convo.

    A: Man, I broke my leg B: aw shit, that must suck, right? because you can’t do the things you like I mean braking your leg in this shitty system, I wish we could have a system…

    A: Yo, look, I bought this really cool thing that I have been wanted for years! B: Cool! what does it do? ah… It was probably made by some slave in a sweatshop, you know? If we were in communinsm those would probably be made by some happy people instead!

    (Dumb examples, I know, but Im no writer.)

    I do admit, that me starting my comment with “As a commie” do makes my comment kinda obtuse and nonsense…

    I stand by it tho. This kind of person is just very annoying to me, independent of the topic. Im quite vocal about my political views, but there’s too much in my life to only talk about the one belive I have.











  • I’ll coincide with you in that first-aid-quick-repairs is something people should in the best of cases know how to do, but setting a envirental variable or installing a package is not a “simple thing”. I’ve worked with engineers that programmed math models for a living that had no idea what a enviromental varible even was. Yes is easy to do, but the concept behind it, what it is, what it does and why are not simple, without the right background or the will to learn about the topic.

    And, about user and owner. Sure, I get your point and personally I share it. But again, that is an opinion, tell a non-interested-user that they don’t really own their rig until they know how to use the terminal and I assure you that most of them will disagree.

    Edit cause I wrongly posted before finishing: Comparing uncloging -manually pushing and pull a bar- or chaning a light -turn left, change, then right- or a breaker -literally just pulling a tab up- are WAY simpler actions. Yes, running apt upgrade is easy, but how you know is all well? That it work? + if I run apt update everyday I see almost no diference in my system, why should I even do something like that



  • Do you know how everything in your house works? How to repair everything? No right?

    Would you be brave enough to mess with the grounding of your house, or the AC or the heaters, the washing machine, the doors? Not eveyone wants mess with every (subsystem) thing in their house/live"

    Most of the people I know want their PC to work and if somwthing goes wrong they just send it to repair or ask somebody else to fix it, they don’t wanna do it themselves, which I find normal, they have little to no interesting in PCs, and that is compleatly fine.

    And before someone says "Yeah, but the computer won’t kill you if you fuck up the fixing or messing, let me tell you, a “sudo rm -r” or “sudo chown -R” can fuck you system BAR, making you loose important data and info.

    -…But refugee -I hear you about to type-, they SHOULD have 10921 back-ups in atleast 2542 independent locations. Yo, they don’t wanna even see the terminal, and you want them to interest themselves for data integrity and redundacy? Come on.





  • Hmmm… I never said that. You’re misreprensenting my words.

    Maybe what I meant is that there should be clear and hard rules for gun ownership? Maybe I did mean that only him should not be able to own one, perhaps I even meant that only people I agree with shoud own guns. Is not possible to for you to know what I generally believe about ownership and regulation only from my comment above. So please do not put words in my mouth.

    Also, bold statement comming from someone with a clear wink to Anarchy in their handle.



  • People forget that Marx advocated for ruthless criticisim. As a rule whenever I read something and it peeks my interest, before I keep digging further I ask myself: Where’s the catch here? Are they trying to sell me something? Who can actually benefit from this.

    This simple scruttiny maybe won’t reveal the holes in the idea, but it will lead you to things you can research, read contra-arguments and get a fuller and rounder idea of whatever you are reading. But sadly this is a skill that is getting loss, not because people can’t intellectually do it, they just do not care or want to put the effort.
