@waves@liminalisland.xyz I mean, yet.

@waves@liminalisland.xyz lol at least everyone isn't drunk.

@ademan Tell me more

Why, yes, this is a subject I get testy about, why do you ask?

@waves@liminalisland.xyz That's not irrational at all.

@sergia@dair-community.social Best of luck to you!

There is a vast difference between someone not understanding a problem and them making no effort to understand that problem. That they *should* know something in the estimation of others has no relevance as to whether they do know it.

This isn't a barracks, you don't need to yell at people or humiliate them to get them to understand, there's no need for it.

The height of this attitude is best portrayed by ESR's essay here:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

There's a *lot* of attitude in there. It's easy to see how someone can be seduced by it because it depicts a position of superiority, but this is little to do with solving problems.

I have personally encountered it on the Arch forums, and the FreeBSD forums. Hostility to users asking legitimate questions on the assumption they've not put any leg work in - whether they have or not. Treating everyone like shit == treating everyone the same is no way to run things.

I see both ends of this. One of my work responsibilities is managing the level 1 Helpdesk people and I get their frustrations, but you can't let a few less motivated users set the tone for how you treat people, because this leads to. bad attitudes.

If your idea of solid, worthy voluntary contribution is twats trolling forums with gatekeeping RTFM bullshit then your community isn't worth shit, brother.

This makes me laugh - a user scalds a forum dickhead for the usual 'RTFM noob OMG' bullshit and of course gets an official slap on the wrist. Never change, open source.

@Flick The NYT has been divided for a long time; Bari Weiss was another good example.

@SeventhMagpie They sound pretty big...I've only seen one of them once. A collie.

@SeventhMagpie Those lovely evergreens belong to our neighbour Ed, he has about 100 dogs.

My 6yr old has these little plushies for every planet in the solar system. He's made a bed for one out of an old Amazon box, with paper sheets, and is calling it his baby. I had to kiss it goodnight last night (it's Pluto, for those curious)

@SeventhMagpie See what I mean about the weather though! I only had to wear a hoodie.
