I did watch Dexter and sided with a psychopath, but I wouldn't in real life.... or would I???? :-D

Stupid take, I don't know this person so not even sure which side he is talking about since all the sides use this argument precisely because people are stupid enough to make political decisions based on movies.

you clearly don't know many good developers

this is accurate, I use the computer a lot and I use arch (BTW). Ergo, all people in lemmi must be doing this.

That is how science works, right? (I used latin words and all)

if capitalism was designed in a way that long term was relevant, we would have this conversation...

Isn't this from like 10 years ago, when the internet memes started? (I'm not going to listen to anyone telling me is longer, so don't bother :-P)

When you see in movies that the bad guy is bold AF and kills indiscriminately yet no-one seems to be doing nothing you think: meh, that is so unrealistic

yet here we are...

we just need a real life Liam Neeson that would kill all the bosses of Boeing, given that law is useless against the rich and powerful.

hey, many of us dislike both equally! (specially the push to become the only alternative)

hard disagree. life with plain text logs and daemon init scripts was so easy and nice. But we can't have nice things...

jokes aside, is weird enough to look appealing to me, and probably functional.

If the animal is bigger than my pinky finger I would probably just run the other way, so I hope I don't get asked this.

This doesn't mean that at that size or smaller I would win, just that we can start talking about it.

I know we happen to be a minority, but given how much valve has done for linux gaming, I'm happy to vote and support them with my wallet.

For reference, before they started giving a good linux experience I didn't buy games for more than 15 years, so is not like the game developers were going to get 100% of the money I'm paying for games now, the choice is to get 70% or nothing because I wouldn't play their games. Not only that, if the proton compatibility layer fails, I'm very confident that steam's refund policy has my back, again, without this policy I wouldn't buy games.

Remember, not everyone is you, and not everyone plays games the way you do.
