Damn, I’ve never DMd someone on Lemmy. Is that normal?

Learning how Systemd manages the network was a total mindfuck. There are so many alternatives, all of them being used differently by different tools, partially supported. networkd, Network Manager… There were other tools, they shared similar files but had them in different /etc or /usr folders. There were unexpected interactions between the tools… Oh man, it was so bad. I was very disappointed.

I was really into learning how things really worked in Linux and this was a slap to my face because my mindset was “Linux is so straightforward”. No, it is not, it is actually a mess like most systems. I know this isn’t a “Linux” issue, I’m just ranting about this specific ecosystem.

I honestly don’t get why everyone is agreeing with Windows on this one. I just love how explicit Linux is.

file.txt is fucking file.txt. Don’t do any type extra magic. Do exactly as I’m saying. If I say “open file.txt”, it is “open file.txt”, not “open File.txt”.

The feature isn’t being able to create filenames with the same name, nobody does that. The feature is how explicit it is.

It would be so confusing to read some code trying to access FILE.TXT and then find the filesystem has file.txt

Again, not sure where that “it is binary” affirmation comes from. Is that what you believe? Or do you consider that to be an absolute truth?

There are some many things I honestly have no beliefs about. It’s like I’m a walking counterargunent to your affirmation.

Do I believe we live in a simulation? I honestly don’t know and I don’t know what to believe because I have no idea how reality works. Maybe? Maybe not? I honestly have no idea. How can I know if reality is real? I don’t know.

Is there a god? I don’t know. The question is too deep and if I said yes or no I’d be just guessing because I do not understand reality like that. There are things I do understand… how reality was created isn’t one of them.

Your experience is irrelevant. Do you realize how little you know and how ephemeral humanity is? The human race will be gone in the blink of an eye.

This is exactly the type of argument I disagree with. Humans need to be more humble about how they perceive the universe. We’re like two blind men arguing about the existence of color.

Hm, I’ve talked with people who self-label themselves as atheists and they seem to be sure there is no god. Maybe I talked to the type of atheist that is just a minority.

In all these replies I’ve been told that most atheists just don’t believe anything and if that is the case, I’m aligned with that and now I’ve learned that I can consider myself atheist.

I just don’t waste time believing stuff that can’t be verified, one way or the other.

If you don’t care and you don’t make claims about the existence of a creator, we’re on the same page. When there’s no evidence proving or disproving something, it isn’t logical to take sides.

All the things you said are mundane. The existence of a creator or the origin of reality is something much different to “is my kid an alien?”.

Just because you can’t be certain about something doesn’t mean you can’t be certain about anything. What I’m saying is that being certain about this particular thing feels like a monkey trying to have opinions about quantum computers. I’m sure the money is certain about the banana being tasty.

Are you certain we are not in a simulation? Isn’t the apropiare thing to do in that case to say “I’m not certain, thus I shouldn’t have any belief about it, because a belief is not based on facts”.

I think you can’t say this is a rule for every scenario. “Believe or not believe” seems to be an opinion of yours that I’m personally not bound to. I’m fine just accepting I don’t know something that is clearly outside of the grasp of my rational thought or logic.

I’m not sure why you guys keep comparing the existence of a god with unicorns or leprschauns. But ok, I’ll play along. Do I believe there are unicorns in earth? No, we have a pretty good understanding of the land of this planet. If you said “they live in another dimension” I’d just dismiss that because whoever said it has no clue about what “another dimension” is.

OK, it still seems like taking sides to me when there’s no evidence one way or the other. I’d just say “I don’t know” and move on. No need to take sides on something that I’m clueless about, like what’s reality or its origins.

A human believing that God’s don’t exist based on reason is totally irrelevant, considering how limited human knowledge and reason is in these matters.

How can you be certain about something related to the origin of the universe when we’re just little chimps on a rock. We’re clueless about something as complex as creation.

Current knowledge isn’t worthless but it isn’t necessarily what’s true. Just keep an open mind about that and you might realize that you don’t really know what’s true. So, you don’t really know if there’s a creator.

Based on your experience and rational though you believe there is no god, but you don’t know. It is still a belief.

The moment you finally install arch and your realize you still feel empty inside.

For large companies that serve many customers 5K per year is a drop in a bucket. If it provides their customers with a more secure experience, it is worth it.

Feels like one of the few instances of humans doing something about issues before shit hits the roof.

Reminds me of Andrew Tate going to jail for some reason.

I’ve only had beef with a single dev ever. The maintainer of Prometheus, Brian Brazil, or whatever his name is. His attitude is so shitty towards people proposing actually good ideas that would push his product forward.

Nothing is right or wrong, I think you have a very defined square of boundaries that you can’t see beyond. If someone has social issues and can’t find a person that matches with them, why is it bad for them to look for THEIR OWN happiness somewhere else?

Just let people enjoy their lives, there are no boundaries and no meaning, we’re just here doing whatever the hell… Just do what you like and let others do what their like, as long as they don’t hurt other people. There are people who date dolls or balloons, whatever man, let them do their thing, they aren’t hurting anyone.

Imagine telling people from 150 years ago that today people get their sex changed through medical procedures.

You’re super closed minded. There’s no need to be so mean… some people aren’t good at socializing but it doesn’t make them bad or disgusting people. If they can find comfort in this, what’s the problem?

Pretty sure a lot of people that can find real partners will try this because it is a new experience. Aren’t you curious? Don’t you wonder if it is possible for YOU to fall in love with an AI? A lot of people who aren’t closed-minded will probably accept the challenge.

I’m sure having an AI partner will be totally normal and socially acceptable in 50-100 years, specially if we give them bodies.

Am I the only one concerned there’s a wishing fountain that anyone can use? Even Republicans.

jk…
