Yeah that makes sense. So, we kind of need people like Sophia to make statements like this for ya’ll who “can’t” due to risks involved?

Rather than disparaging her sentiment we should be thanking her, and those like her for taking a stand when we are unable to.

She was a 21yo student, obviously she isnt speaking from the experience of a mid 30~ with a family. Putting that aside, are you saying that a person with a family, by necessity, needs to restructure values to include survival by any means? By making waves you would introduce potential harm to the family?

No doubt the folks she is referring to do this, but shit… thats putting way to much power into those that expect you to not make waves which would only embolden someone to take advantage of that with threats of intimidation.

Its so liberating to just accept this mindset everyhwhere. I personally feel so comfortable voting with my wallet I don’t even feel a sense of missing out anymore.

Yeah watch me not deny it tho; I intended for it to be snarky and anticipated this impact.

I’ll counter your anectdote with my own. Every single Linux community member I have encountered on my journey to use this as a daily driver (arch BTW) has been incredibly helpful.

Intention vs. Impact, look it up.

I downvoted because of the snark in first paragraph.

Yeah fuck this guys (OP, not the person I’m replying under) take. Hobbies need less gatekeepers and if I want to do research about gear, make nice purchases as a way to deepen my investment into the hobby so be it.

Example: I just got into fitness. I have almost no need for some of the products ive been buying, however through the research ive stumbled across some excellent articles and a few YouTube channels that inspire me. Even if the gear / gadgets do nothing more than inspire you to show up and try them out, its worked.

Unpopular opinion: HDR is overrated and causes more eye fatigue.

No idea, not the Dev and dont even know what product this is lol… Go read the thread 🤙

Read the thread they said they have provided appimage for years.

Agree on the flatpak part tho, that would have solved this issue.

No shade at peeing sitting down or the shower, but the sink!

Dont understand why people dont just become stall enjoyers. Hot take: urinals suck.

Lol what?

Did you even watch the video?

Who asked?

In the short term, sure… But the reason its like this in the first place is because everyone takes the stance of not rocking the boat. I say throw em overboard.

And shit we’ve all been there, I had a coworker say some vile shit around me before and just let it slide because its easier. I’m in a different position these days and find keeping things secret / quiet only allows these issues to fester.

1. report them to HR for racist comments in the workplace.

2. report them for sexual harassment.

3 & 4) especially 4 just report to HR for having too many political comments on the floor.

All the stuff you listed is inappropriate and contributing the drama. You report it so that you can say “I’ve already made it known I’m not trying to have these conversations with you, please stop” and when they don’t you go back to step one till they get fired.

The alternative is to learn to accept your coworkers as they are, unprofessional or not, and not let their bullshit irritate you so much.

Not saying which is correct, but you have options.

This particular streamer is terrible. There are plenty of great ones; dont lump them all together.

That wasn’t the joke. There is no way OP meant it literally.
