Implying that all Linux users have read the source code of the distro they're running (assuming the majority is able to).

[-] kevinbacon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It's called a community for a reason.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

So in the end you're just trusting other people to check it for you...

[-] kevinbacon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You said if they aren't able.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

In the end, for the vast majority of users, the result is the same as people using closed source software, they're trusting other people to be acting in good faith.

[-] kevinbacon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe, but with open source they have a choice because they can learn and gain more freedom, closed source simply demands obedience and promotes ignorance.

Yeah, at some point you have to accept that not everyone wants to learn programming and it doesn't make them cucks just because they don't share your interests.

I'm sure you wouldn't be happy if someone called you a cuck because they know how to build a house up to code from scratch and you don't.

It's also very funny to check your history and seeing you complain about gatekeeping when you're insulting people who run closed source software because you disagree with their choice...

Took the cuck comment hard huh? Just say so, no need to have a whole argument about it.

I was wondering how long it would take for the cringelord redditors that would check post history to arrive, good to see you bringing your bad habits with you to shit up this platform too.

Cringelord Redditor like that one who signed up two months ago under the name kevinBLT? 🤔

Sorry for pointing out your arguments are bad, promise I won't do it again.

[-] kevinbacon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

You resorted to ad hominems and straw men, I have already won and I accept your concession, you have my permission to withdraw having learned your place.

Have a nice day.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

If you have to resort to insulting people to feel like you're ahead in a debate then I've got bad news for you and your feeling of success!

Oh, sorry 🤐

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
