  • Weed smokers, vapers, and smokers in general are some of the most self-centered people I have ever had the displeasure of talking to. They think their smoke doesn’t affect anyone else and fail to understand that some people find the smell nauseating. They then proceed to litter everywhere and make their smoking everyone else’s problem.

    There are obviously exceptions to the rule, but they are far and few between.














  • Not a hot take at all. Asking someone to go from a GUI heavy operating system to a command line heavy one and be just as productive is lunacy. Like all major changes it is important to ween off the old thing.

    My biggest hurdle with the switch has been permission related issues, and you can’t deal with those cleanly with a UI, and every help thread under the sun throws out a bunch of command line commands giving a solution without explaining why those changes are needed. It may seem like Unix 101 to experienced Linux users, but it is really cryptic to newcomers coming from operating systems that are…cough more lenient with their permissions.

    There is also a mentality that UIs are much more idiot proof than command line. UIs are written by people who actually know the OS so we can’t accidentally delete our home folder because of a typo. It is a very legitimate concern.
