just because you find it fun doesn’t mean everyone does. i know a couple Linux users who see Linux as a worthwhile chore: boring, frustrating, annoying, but ultimately worthwhile to get away from Microsoft or to gain functionality Windows does not have.

I agree that Linux is also often a step to the actual hobby: gaming, self-hosting, photography, audio production. I empathize with someone reluctant to learn the ins and outs of Unix file ownership when they are just trying to make beats without paying Microsoft. Sure the knowledge is rewarding, but i can’t blame a person for not grokking it the first time when on the surface is seems pointless

If someone is making an effort to learn and doesnt take my time for granted i’m happy to help them.

Also man pages are usually good but lots of software half-asses them these days

no “ultimate distro”, but i do wish there was a bigger culture of “no regressions for users”

Plasma 6 has been a series of regressions for me, such that i find my computer a little less functional almost every time i update.

That said i still like it miles better than mac or Windows, which are even worse about this

the problem was that nobody paid ooops@feddit.org to read any of this

i’m not seeing that stuff much but i do believe you

RTFM makes more sense in a professional context. I don’t expect anybody to read anything unless 1 they want to or 2 they are being paid to

Saying RTFM in a hobby or recreational space is just being an asshole for no good reason

Armadillos and Raccoons are native to the Americas There are a few more that seem ahistorical (Penguin, Opossum, Zebra, Panther, Wallaby). Perhaps this list is from a modern source?

Very interesting. It would maybe be quicker to list the animals that are kosher

all Christians pick and choose what to take at face value, and what to take in context from the Bible. The Bible permits and arguably advocates for slavery in several places. Mosaic law forbids wearing blended fabric.

Also there is both a reference to an abortifacient and an explanation that an induced abortion is required to be performed by a priest in the case of Adultery (Numbers, lots of English translations obfuscate this detail)

Lots of leftist Catholics i’ve met consider the words of Jesus to trump all other passages, similar to how Muslims give different credence to different Hadith depending on the purported witness. In this reading it’s pretty easy to come to a mostly left-leaning worldview.

I would also add that Catholics in general do not consider the Bible to be literally true descriptions of events that actually happened. Most Catholics, including most Catholic theologians, see the Bible as the word of God, but consider the stories contained within to range from entirely allegorical to semi-historical (but even then still largely allegorical).
