your judgement of someone is not a property of that other person.

what you’re expressing is an observation that says more about the observer than the observed.

What a weird way to admit that you shouldn’t have posted a ridiculously idiotic “well actually” comment in the first place.

Maybe next time you’ll stick to commenting about your own culture instead of commenting about someone else’s that you know nothing about.

That’s great, champ. Thanks for making sure to call out something that you have no idea how common or rare it is. That really adds to the discussion.

1. If you aren’t Jewish, what reason do you have to do it to an infant that can’t possibly wait until they’re old enough to decide for themselves?

2. Would you be struggling with the same decision to surgically alter an infant’s genitals if we were talking about your daughter instead of your son?

Uh huh. Funny how many self-righteous people never seem to appreciate the concept of DARVO.

Let me know when you’ve got something more interesting to say besides childishly commenting, “Nuh UH. I’m right because I say so.”

Same reason you’re incapable of not having the last word.

The Internet Dickwad theory has been around quite a while. It’s not a giant mystery.

Sure, kiddo. Whatever gives you that dopamine hit for being yet-another random internet douchecanoe.

“Hurr hurr… I’m right and I’ve decided you’re wrong because reasons. I’m not going to engage with anyone because everyone rejects my assertions that I’m right and everyone else is wrong.”

Uh huh. Real nuanced perspective you got there.

Sounds like a self-defeating argument. So glad I could stand by while you beat on that straw man for a while. Feeling better after that li’l display, champ?

Says the Luddite without an argument…

You do not realize how many businesses operate every single day and make plenty of money on suboptimal code.

Industrial scale everything does not care, so long as the job gets done and the invoice is paid.

Just like with every other profession made obsolete by technology, the 80% case won’t need your bespoke, hand-crafted, artisanal assembly. There will still be minority cases who will pay a premium for it. And plenty of people will still program as a hobby or for their local community. But industrial scale software will be written by bots.

Because the world runs on good enough. No matter how many elitist neckbeards get butthurt in the process.

Uh oh. The ice carvers are complaining about the evils of refrigeration again…

This kind of problem is going to require some deep debugging of the surface kernel drivers. This isn’t going to be a simple or quick fix. Somebody is going to need to do some extensive debugging and analysis to chase down an issue like this. A solution to this problem could take a few hours, or it could take a few months of meticulous trial and error to narrow down the problem space and gather enough data to enable somebody to zero in on the problem.

If you want to dive into tracking down the problem yourself, I suggest starting with the kernel’s own docs on the driver architecture and debugging tools, etc.

What do you do if you want to leave tech?

You don’t. Every aspect of modern society needs some amount of tech. But the tech we need doesn’t automatically need to be the adware-laden, spyware-as-a-service enshittified garbage that BigTech foists on us in the name of ever-increasing quarterly profits.

We all have a choice. If you can make tech, you can choose to make tech for humans, not corporations. There are numerous apps that we would all love a simple, cleanly implemented version maintained by a small team of individuals dedicated to creating a useful application that solves real-world problems without ripping anybody off or filling our viewscreens with pointless ads.

There’s a simple equation anybody can follow. Make something useful that someone else finds value in, sell it for a reasonable price. That’s it. That’s all any of us need to do in tech. Grab the off-the-shelf hardware, the open-source software, make something useful, and sell it for a modest profit that the makers can live a modest life on.

We all can choose to be less greedy any time we want. We can choose to work for less greedy people. We can choose to maximize for human impact, or for quality, or for longevity. We do not need to keep choosing maximum profit at the expense of our own ecological well-being.

What is there to fear? Seriously. Pretending like this has anything to do with fear is the most childishly narcissistic framing possible. Grow up.

Xorg is nearly dead and buried. Nobody actually cares about Xlibre. Notice how the only thing being mentioned is the sidenote that this fork is run by a racist troll whose been kicked for cause from several prominent OSS projects. Literally the only reason XLibre exists is because this individual needed to start his own project because he’s worn out his welcome in many others.

And, considering the geopolitical state of affairs at the moment. It’s pretty plainly obvious that the only sort of person who is “anti-DEI” are fascists. And the only people making excuses for the fascists are other fascists. So, thanks for letting us know who you are.

Found the useful idiot. You’re willfully ignoring the racist dogwhistles. That either makes you a supporter or a fellow traveler. Either way, you’re complicit and not innocent.

Feel free to go back and read the thread for yourself. It’s all right there.

Funny how you call me a gatekeeper, but can’t explain what I’ve prevented you from doing. You claim that outside critique is Super Important, but then can’t figure out why anyone should care about your critiques. And now you claim I’m lying about something that the text is all right there to read, and somehow I’m incorrect because reasons that you can’t articulate.

Are you sure you’re okay?
