The other thing he [emphasis mine] got wrong is “prompt complexity/coaxing”.

She, actually.

Yes, it is the scripting language of TempleOS.

I think you mean: it is one of the most brain dead comments you have ever hurd about Linux.

In fairness, the cost of selling their souls to the Dark Lord Sauron also does not show up in this graphic.

Cent O-S is com-ING, to TOWN!!!

You have probably (deservedly!) blocked me by now, but in case you have not, I apologize from my other comment. Apparently the standard you all have in the lemmy.ml memes community is different from other memes communities, so what looked to me like you were posting a meme that was completely inappropriate was a complete misunderstanding on my part. I have unsubscribed from this community to preclude the possibility of future misunderstandings.

Ah, I only just now noticed that this post was made in the lemmy.ml memes community, which is very different in the kinds of posts that it has than most communities that call themselves “memes” communities. Personally I think that you all have awful taste, but taste is subjective so I withdraw my objection that this particular meme is trash.

I was about to unsubscribe, but curiously I don’t seem to currently be subscribed to it, which is odd because it definitely appeared on my front page at one point; if that is because the admin kicked me out, then I would like to kindly thank them.

Just so you know, since you are apparently now going to start spamming the meme community with trash, you have become one of a select few on my block list.

WAIT LET ME IN I WANT TO HAVE THE LAST WORD IS IT TOO LATE!!!

Also, I respect your insistence on using a term other than American to describe people from the US.

Because no one else belongs to a state and so calling ourselves “statesians” is therefore better?

That might have been an apt name at first, but the UX has come along way since the early days.

As someone who regularly has to deal with code that has been broken needlessly into smaller functions so that I have to constantly jump around to figure out what is going on, this really resonates with me.

The latest case was someone who took something that really only needed to be a single function and instead turned it into a class with a dozen tiny methods.

And thank god for that!

Yes, exactly, which as we all know stands for GIF Image Format.

Best of all, they would not have to work for Bezos anymore.

(I tried staying a subscriber to support the genuinely good investigative journalism they do, but Bezos’s changes to it were got to be too much for me to swallow; what finally drove me over was the incredibly congratulatory editorial that the editorial board posted in response to the kidnapping of Maduro from Venezuela.)

So what would you name the category that includes Alpine Linux and Chimera Linux, as was brought up in the article?

It would have helped a lot if GNU weren’t such a weird acronym whose pronunciation is not at all obvious.

Thank you for introducing needed some levity into the discussion. 😉

Those are all good points.

We’ve played this game with browser engines and we find ourselves in a world with no viable community-controlled browser.

Where would you say Firefox fits into this? (This question is not a gotchya; I am genuinely having trouble seeing whether it is a valid counter-example or not.)
