This post breaks literally rules #1, #2 and #3 of this community. Crazy.

Mods please wake up and DO YOUR JOB.

Breaks rule #2 completely. Not a showerthought.

THIS IS NOT A SHOWERTHOUGHT. This just an opinion. There already a ton of places to put your banal talking points like this. Why can’t you put them there??

For examples of what a showerthought is, look on the right. Another one was posted 2 minutes after this very post:

“With all due respect” could imply that no respect is due and therefore none is given

That is a showerthought.

PS: Want more substance? It breaks rule #4 partially and rule #3 totally.

Honest question: who would use a non-collaborative standalone spreadsheet in 2025? I don’t get it.

Very useful concrete example of how these changes might be a problem. Thanks.

Exactly. I do it pretty regularly and I’ve been using Linux for 20 years.

And yet people here are still saying “no biggie”. It’s pure status quo bias.

Come on, having a 3-key combo for such a common task is a PITA. There’s a reason people have been complaining about this for decades.

I always confuse this with hikikomori. Which in turn I always forget how to spell.

Good question. Some are saying that you won’t get enough eyeballs on dedicated support forums, but by that logic we should just have one community called “General” which the whole world can spam freely on any topic. Personally I don’t want to have to wade through obscure threads about command syntax here, I want to read news about Linux.

By the way, if ever you want to discuss that subject, please consider doing it here rather than at lemmy.ml! There are more users there but IMO this is a better home for the flagship Linux community.

Yet another not-a-showerthought.

In no way is this a “showerthought”. Seriously. This community is being devalued to worthlessness.

Come on, this is not a “showerthought”, this is just an opinion. Put it elsewhere.

Moderators, please wake up.

This is the sort of specialized question that should be asked in a specialized community, rather than here. It even concerns a country, and communities always exist for countries.

Besides evidence (what you see in front of you), there’s also reason (what you can deduce from first principles).

I’d say the key concept of science is that knowledge can be built upon. That there is not yet an answer to every question. That you can say “We don’t know but we’re working on it”. This was absolutely revolutionary in human affairs.

Who is this “we” you talk of?

So, a bookmarks list basically.

Prediction: you’ll never actually read most of what ends up on this to-read list.

Look at the photo! It’s a wintertime word.

Literally the most inappropriate moment of the year to post this! But great word.

Perhaps AI could be used to rewrite this post so that it makes sense.
