I honestly don’t know what’s going on there. The sole mod and contributor of the community keeps posting low quality shit purely to bash on Linux and people kept calling him out in the posts and getting banned from the comm for that.
Now I noticed the same mod has just locked comments on all posts to prevent having to ban anyone commenting on their memes
I just had a mosey through, and oh boy does that person need a hobby. Making fun of Linux and annoying it’s fans is a noble goal, especially here, but they’re not doing a good job.
I love Linux, but everybody needs a good reminder that they’re not the shit, once in a while, and satire/memes are a great way to do that. Too bad that particular mod doesn’t know how to do either.
It’s a shame, because it had the potential to be a great source of creative, self-deprecating humor, but instead, it’s just mean and trite.
Also a lot of the recent posts are nonsense. Not like making points that are wrong, but are nonsensical and meaningless. Like one post which is just a picture of a phone running windows claiming Linux is configurable.
If one wanted to criticize Linux that is absolutely the wrong way to do it.
Yeah, some genuine satirisation of some of the shit Linux fans come out with would be amazing.
They’re completely unaware of how much technical gobbeldyremoved they come out with most of the time.
I do like Linux, but I’m kind of amused at the insistence that ext4 volumes on HDDs don’t ever need to be defragged. Microsoft said the same thing about NTFS and look how that turned out. Fragmentation is a consequence of having finite storage and can’t be solved by just making a better FS. Throw seek times in and ext4 on an HDD does, in fact, benefit from regular defragging.
That’s not true. Yes there’s differences in how FS’ handle files. ext4 doesn’t need regular defragging because it self-defragging as part of its normal operation. Yes there may be cases where one needs to do a manual defrag on an almost completely full ext4 fs, but those would be extraordinarily rare.
When I talk about technical gobbeldyremoved, this is exactly what I mean. And FOSS enthusiasts will act like it’s all plainly obvious.
I don’t even understand it sometimes, but I’m glad somebody does, because it doesn’t sound like something I would want to be in charge of!
