Here, let me fill it out:

Normal and OK are different things. My personal belief is that there are more bad parents than people think there are. So perhaps what you describe might be normal. But that's definitely not OK.

I disagree. Conservatism (and to a greater extent Nazism) are built on fear and hatred. The Republican party knows that and spends significant money and effort to make people as fearful as possible. The Republicans may win but they are fundamentally unhappy. Their happiness, if you can really call it that, is primarily Schadenfreude at "sticking it to the libs"

It is significantly more acceptable to slow down and stop talking than a lot of people think

Hence, completely avoidable drama

Now we need an additional edit to replace the mouse with the AI penis mouse that got published in a peer-reviewed journal

His behavior, I think, is a symbol of the behavior of Linux developers as a whole. Linus may have mellowed out, but he's still quite prickly, with his famous Quarterly Linus Rants™. Beyond that, Linux developers seem to really be quite difficult to work with in general. The most recent completely-avoidable-dramas that come to my mind are the bcachefs guy and Rust in Linux

Thanks for calling this out. I keep seeing political posts where the intent is clearly not to obtain answers but to obtain agreement. It makes me think that these people are attempting to karma farm.

Back on reddit, wasn't there a rule that questions had to be genuine? ie, rhetorical posts (like we see now) are not allowed? Perhaps it would make sense to start enforcing such a rule

Ok but also who goes out of their way to get Burger King anyways? I feel like the only people who get Burger King are the people who can't find literally any other fast food joint in the region

I think people who view Wine/Proton as a crutch is missing the point. Even disregarding the fact that it's introducing more people to Linux (me included), I think the bigger point to make is that the future of software (or rather, the emerging meta of software) is cross-platform. Think about all the web apps and Electron apps. The solution to the Linux compatibility issue is not to make a Linux version of the software, it's to set up a system such that one version works for every OS. Wine/Proton is just an unusual extension of that software philosophy.

Would this really be considered brutalist? I mean, there's not enough undecorated walls of concrete
