gTerry Pratchett, I think.

For example, I bought some beer a couple of days ago, and after I paid the guy said “have a good evening and enjoy the beer”; and I said “you too”…

I guess I hadn’t processed the second part quickly enough.

LibreWolf is listed as an alternative web browser; not an alternative way to run Chrome extensions.

Similarly, listing Mint as an alternative to Windows is about having an alternative computer OS. It is not about having an alternative way to run your Windows apps.

And Lemmy is an alternative ‘ranked forum’ (or whatever you want to call this). It is not an alternative way to read reddit threads.

I’ve just come back from a holiday which involved lots of hiking in mountains and woodlands. It’s rare to see bins out there, and yet somehow the places are clean. But please tell me more about human behaviour. Getting insulted by strangers on the internet is so fun.

I’m on board with this. Don’t bring rubbish into woodland areas; and if you do bring it - take it back with you.

I’m sure the bins were very convenient - but its a convenience that only helps you leave trash in the woodland for someone else to collect. And as others have pointed out, the rubbish can cause problems even if it is all put in the bin.

So yeah, I can see that it is mildly frustrating - but I don’t think ‘take your rubbish home’ is too much of an ask.

I find this list weird. I guess I’m the kind of person you’re complaining about!

I like having GUI available for standard stuff (eg. dconf editor is great for various desktop settings). And I like file extensions in many cases - eg. I like to be able to tell the difference between a .png and .jpeg just by reading the file name. … And Linux often really does give better performance on older machines compared to Windows.

… So I suppose in your eyes I’m basically an old Windows admin brining bad habits to Linux. I’m just not seeing the downside of these ‘bad habits’.

Well you’re in luck - because Linux has reached the point where you don’t need the terminal for any kind of standard activity. You can easily install and uninstall stuff, and change various desktop UI stuff, and run all sorts of apps - all without ever touching the terminal.

Does Nicole like that movie or something?

But what if the crab is in a forest where no one can see it?
