you clearly don't know many good developers

this is accurate, I use the computer a lot and I use arch (BTW). Ergo, all people in lemmi must be doing this.

That is how science works, right? (I used latin words and all)

if capitalism was designed in a way that long term was relevant, we would have this conversation...

Isn't this from like 10 years ago, when the internet memes started? (I'm not going to listen to anyone telling me is longer, so don't bother :-P)

hey, many of us dislike both equally! (specially the push to become the only alternative)

hard disagree. life with plain text logs and daemon init scripts was so easy and nice. But we can't have nice things...

jokes aside, is weird enough to look appealing to me, and probably functional.

If the animal is bigger than my pinky finger I would probably just run the other way, so I hope I don't get asked this.

This doesn't mean that at that size or smaller I would win, just that we can start talking about it.

I know we happen to be a minority, but given how much valve has done for linux gaming, I'm happy to vote and support them with my wallet.

For reference, before they started giving a good linux experience I didn't buy games for more than 15 years, so is not like the game developers were going to get 100% of the money I'm paying for games now, the choice is to get 70% or nothing because I wouldn't play their games. Not only that, if the proton compatibility layer fails, I'm very confident that steam's refund policy has my back, again, without this policy I wouldn't buy games.

Remember, not everyone is you, and not everyone plays games the way you do.

never take the internet as a reference, I went to Thailand last year and did not see anything weird.

internet reality is not real life reality.

if narrow minded people judge you for something you didn't do just because of some generalised idea, then maybe is better not to be friends with those people. I've travelled alone and not alone to many places, and none of my friends ever thought ill of me.

Whatever the internet kids think I really don't give a shit, as you shouldn't either.

Man, I really hate gatekeeping.

I was with my family (mom, cousins, etc etc) in Thailand this summer too and we didn't see anything weird either, and the country, food and temples were amazing, and everything was very safe. (it was very nice to see my mom and aunt/uncles, on their 60s, visit such exotic place, they had a wonderful time)

But don't get triggered, people that do memes like these are mostly teenagers that think that "old people" should just stay home. These people probably never went on vacation outside their country anyway, I always found out that people that have travelled abroad tend to be more open minded and do less generalisations.

The only tragedy here is if someone is not aware of the rat kids on the internet, and memes/ideas like this prevent them to travel and see there is world out there, and is not as painted in the internet, everything is way more normal.

So, if someone of any age reads this, I can't talk for Philippines since I haven't been there, but Thailand is amazing and not at all as painted here. Careful with the sun though, sunburns could be quite brutal.

honestly, it has the word AI somewhere in their last year activities, even if they don't do it themselves.

Investors are dumb as fuck, they know nothing about anything other than keywords and hype trains, so with the AI keyword they might go crazy on this.

I keep saying it, the stock market is a mistake for humanity, it doesn't make sense to put a gambling house in the core of the world economy.
