Ah, now comes the best part: assuming what I did not say and answering that. Because what can someone with silly 12-year-old worldview know, right?

And now more to the point

Acting in ignorance is exactly how we got here in the first place

Spoilers: one can say that ignorance is main source of all trouble, but that gets us nowhere right now. We got here by not making people capable of handling life in all its depth. Without people who are developed and balanced no amount of fancy laws, traditions and whatnot will keep things from progressing in ugly directions

If you think that acting means attacking the people wearing red hats

And what if I do not think that? Part of reason being that even if today I drop dead all those filthy-ignorant-idiots (and I am so bright and righteous, of course. Sarcasm, obviously), tomorrow same idiotic things will be done by other people

You’re advocating for fighting the other fools

Short answer of a tired man: please, quote me doing so.

Longer answer of someone still caring about at least something: I am advocating against “oh, poor things, they got brainwashed/caught in information bubbles/whatever, things are more complicated blah-blah”. Things are complicated well beyond anyone’s imagination (I am talking in general here. try finding someone who understands a blade of grass totally, on all levels and in all transactions it is being a part of). First things first: fix the damn thing. Again - no, I am not saying “You, people I have never met, go against armed men and die because I say you should”. I am saying “do what best you can, leave all this things-are-complicated horseshit. It never ends”

Bravo. Such profound conversation. Go pet yourself on the back

except that I am three times that age, having spend at least last twelve years looking exactly at how emotion and intellect work and how to make all this play well

and what I see on lemmy is this: every time someone shows well-deserved anger at idiots who made this terror happen(make no mistake, just because we can sit relatively comfortable and just argue on internet, many people experience their lives getting torn apart), there comes someone with the you-cant-just-blame-them attitude, and all that does it “don’t be mad at them, chill”

Well, no. How they came to be this way? Exactly this is how: they. came. to be this way. Same way neither of us did: making choices. Now is not the time to sit and think of how education and whatnot should have been. Now is the time to act.

And the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Are we now playing “quote some nonsense”?

So what now, they bear no responsibility just due to being brainwashed? Then I have a bridge to sell you: there are no criminals, everyone is innocent. Why? Because most of the time our brain makes a decision before we even become conscious of it. So mr. judge, I did not kill an old lady, it’s just my brain. Surely you can’t give me a sentence for something I did not do willfully?

Nah, you are just trying to shift the responsibility. If my brain gets washed with indoctrination, it is my responsibility. You want what, just go “these millions of human individuals actually supporting evil bastards are innocent and ignorant, only those bastards are to blame”? Fuck this shit, this is not how it works

But how big is it (resolution/physical size) ?

I feel like I will never go for more than present 4k with around 80cm width (but it is curved, so screen surface is enough), because if I try to stuff more windows visible at the same time, it becomes more info than I can process. So, unless I start building something like personal dashboard, this is my limit: finally see enough, do not get overwhelmed

Fairly limited tasks like backend development, yeah.

But true I had no idea what people really use for graphics and sound, thank you for pointing thouse out.

GUI for git, merge and diff does not bother me either, but that is a personal quirk. Thank you for those too, I will at least take a look

You seem to have moderate expectations towards visual computing.

Got me a hundred percent 🙂. Maybe when I have more money I will dive into the beautiful world of high-quality graphics

Ah. Yeah, TVs can be really large. Thank you for taking the time to explain

Games: nope. Same as someone above, I’ve got Cyberpunk on Linux

Office/Adobe… may be a fair point for some Nvidia card: nope, works fine

HDR: did not even bother to learn what is. Can be a fair point

Fractional scaling - genuine question: who the hell ever needs this? I have gone from 1K resolution (standard laptop) to 2K to 2.5K to 34K with curved monitor and never ever ever did I think “hey, this big screen? I want everything bigger/smaller on it”. What do people use fractional scaling for?

Nah, this is not harm, this is “basically, way too many people are fucking idiots”. Idiots enough to think that just with "I voted"tm they have done something to really move things toward a better life for everyone

Well… true that only voting does not much help when those who make the rules are not someone you can influence. Also true that abandoning voting is just plain dumb.

Saddest part: I have no answer to the question of how to make a society that works well for everyone with people who do not understand that to ensure wellbeing of anyone the wellbeing of all and everyone must be ensured

Disclaimer: when I say “bullshit”, I do not mean “you are brainless fool”, I only mean “this idea is so ridiculously wrong it is time we put it to rest at last”

No command lines ever for anything

This annoys me so much I literally registered to answer: bullshit. Stop with that strawman, will ya all, Linux enthusiasts

easy troubleshooting even your nan can follow

Same level bullshit. Watch win (and mac?) being hell to debug

every Linux user agrees it is the best Linux distribution

Bullshit. See Win XP times with many custom-made “flavours”. That did nothing to make windows less popular

when there is a single distribution

Bullshit number one. Linux will become major thing as a result of people pushing back against corporate wall-gardening and spying and/or when it starts coming pre-installed (see Android phones for the latter). All the scary-command-line whining is just elitist bullshit
