Are All Linux Advocates Idiots?

[John Taylor]

Are All Linux Advocates Idiots?
No matter where I look I see Linux advocates who are long on bullshit
and short on facts.

As an example, the typical Linux "advocate" will post non-stop about the
superiority of Linux and how it is a better desktop operating system
than OSX or Windows. And that is fine because choice is good.
Unfortunately getting a Linux advocate to actually demonstrate how his
choice of operating system, DE, and so forth is superior in ANY FASHION
to OSX or Windows is darn near impossible.

Tasks that are simple to perform with OSX or Windows, like rotating an
image in a document to any angle, are impossible or dammed near
impossible with Linux.

Common functions manipulating documents, moving files around, trash can
consistancy, hell, the entire UI consistancy are major stumbling blocks
for Linux.

And the truth is that if the Linux "advocates" could demonstrate how
Linux handles simple, day to day user space tasks, they would.
But they can't and they all know they can't.
So they lash out and attack the person who shows simple, everyday tasks
being done with Windows or OSX.
They pile on like some kind of gang in order to smother the person with
lies, half truths and vicious attacks.
Why?
I think the answer residesin the original question:
"Are All Linux Advocates Idiots?"

Answer = yes. At least most of them

If Linux "advocates" spent more time submitting bug reports and less
time churning out lies about Linux and attacks on people who point out
the areas where Linux is substandard, Linux might improve.

But it will never happen because the first step in improving something
is to admit there is a problem. And Linux "advocates" will not risk
being attacked by the herd so they ignore the problems and make like
nothing is wrong.

It's all kind sick.

True enough.

They have no idea what makes a desktop OS good, no less if or how desktop
Linux is any way better than the competition. Or the do know and just will
not speak of it because it is not pro-Linux.

The hoops you would have to jump through to get a similar effect is very
high.

The *choice* of having a well designed systems is not there.

Of course they would. Every day.

It clearly pisses them off greatly that I have done more to help the open
source movement than all of them combined. Likely other non-"advocates" have
as well.

Agreed. Meanwhile if you go to an Apple forum, even the ones where they mock
themselves with names like "Cult of Mac", you will find they freely talk
about places they think Apple can and should improve.

You have to admit, it's very a neat and effective way of avoiding any
discussion around or advocating the Linux Desktop.

In this case it will be even worse: the "challenge" is one someone might
find in a first year programming course or whatever. Owl recognized it as
such and approached it as a programming task. A simple one.

Peter did not even recognize it as a programming task and looked at it as
something to be done manually. He went so far as to make up stories about
how you get different results for such searched on different OSs... he had
NO idea where to even begin or what was being shown.

This "challenge" was, to a large extent, a test to see if Peter thought as a
developer... not even a good one but at all. He failed. He does not think
like a developer.

And he and his herd are going to twist and turn that and work to put me on
the defensive. They will show deep immaturity and anger. They cannot help
it.

A gooogle search like that isn't a "programming task".
It is completely idiotic. Why doing a "google search" when you are not
interested in the results? Must be a Snit Glasser task then, because who
would come up with such a lunatic goal?

"People didn't cause the Great Depression, Liberal ko0kTarD. Governmental
policy did." - Fakey in MID <7880b90ad2ecebe35ba01b4557597d80%40dizum.com>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_Great_Depression
"The initial stock market crash triggered a "panic sell-off" that made the
stock market go even lower."

so... so the "government" panicked, snickers?

funny that a bona-fide conservative horatio alger hero type would want the
government stepping in to save the stock market.

"Current theories may be broadly classified into two main points of view
and several heterodox points of view.

First, there are demand-driven theories, from Keynesian and institutional
economists who argue that the depression was caused by a widespread loss
of confidence that led to underconsumption. The demand-driven theories
argue that the financial crisis following the 1929 crash led to a sudden
and persistent reduction in consumption and investment spending.[1] Once
panic and deflation set in, many people believed they could avoid further
losses by keeping clear of the markets. Holding money therefore became
profitable as prices dropped lower and a given amount of money bought ever
more goods, exacerbating the drop in demand.

Second, there are the monetarists, who believe that the Great Depression
started as an ordinary recession, but that significant policy mistakes by
monetary authorities (especially the Federal Reserve), caused a shrinking
of the money supply which greatly exacerbated the economic situation,
causing a recession to descend into the Great Depression. Related to this
explanation are those who point to debt deflation causing those who borrow
to owe ever more in real terms."

wait? what? no major "third" konservative k0okTheory blaming the
government for everything mentioned?

odd, that. eh, lotusLoser?

snickers the wonderturd describes how he alerted lots of his kiddie pr0n
friends to the ensuing FBI sting in message
<b5e7da79a455d0c9...@dizum.com>:
"That's easy enough to do... how do you think my crew uncovered the
largest CP ring using Tor and I2P, which we promptly turned over to
the FBI? I discovered a way to uncover the IP addresses the I2P users were
using, and a way of tracking Eepsites back to their IP addresses, then we
figured out that we could DDOS a Tor IP address and modify Tor headers
while checking whether a Tor hidden service was still up, then using
process of elimination to pinpoint the IP address hosting that hidden
service. It's not rocket science.

_The I2P community got all up in arms when I discussed on their forum how
I was doing it, and that it'd be a good way of cleaning up I2P so it can
get on with being a platform to research anonymous communication... my
distinct impression was that the "anonymity
research platform" story was just a cover story to allow pervs to
trade CP._ (NOTE: admits to participating in what he "suspected" was a
kiddie pr0n network.)

That Silk Road 2.0 was taken offline in the ensuing FBI Operation
Onymous was just icing on the cake."

Not to a non-developer such as yourself. But notice how Owl recognized it as
such. Really, anyone who even had a first year programming class or had any
interest in doing any programming would see it that way.

But you did not.

You thought it terms of doing such a repetitive task manually and NOT
scripted. This was to such an extent that you did not even think of the
scripted nature of it but instead focused on the searches and thought in the
bizarre terms of such a Google search being OS based! As I had noted before,
of course, the idea was to see what the common searches were with those
names and a single letter. You missed that, too.

See: you still miss it. Wow.

Not only did you miss the scripted nature of the task, you are STILL missing
the purpose of looking at the drop down. LOL!

Do you deny bringing up the ideas of such search results being different on
different OSs?

I wouldn't put the OS itself on the bottom. However, it's inferior to the
monopoly OS in terms of "buying stuff" and the platform culture is more limited
and less open.

It's hardware compatibility is also pants but you kind of expect that given
Apple's business model.

However, THOSE are the people that should be churning out bug reports or
a least trolling less. Useful comments are as good as bug reports. Vague
trolling is not.

I would. It is badly to use (different keystrokes for the sake of being
different, for example). A shitty kernel which is slow as molasses, a
filesystem which is by far the slowest of the currently used OS, very few
drivers, making the hardware list a *lot* smaller than that of linux from 10
years ago

And the hardware for that shitty OS: Idiotic keyboards (all shiny,
completely idiotic layout), mice which are horribly to use for anyone with
hands bigger than those of 11 years old, glossy screens etc etc etc

I would put Apple's hardware problems in a separate category.

They were the first to use most of the GUI keystrokes we now use... and they
are *different* than terminal ones. For example, in OS X I can use the
standard Command+C to copy. You might want to look up what Control+C is in
the terminal.

> A shitty kernel which is slow as molasses

Unsupported.

Unsupported... but I agree they need to update it. And they are.

Such as...???

Their keyboard layout makes a LOT more sense. For example, to use Command
keys it is a LOT easier than using Control keys on a Windows / PC keyboard.
No need to contort your hand. You see, Peter, on both keyboards the Control
key is generally on the edges... but with OS X you use the Command key and
it is placed closer to the rest of the keys. How Windows, and Linux, do
things is ergonomically not as good.

I would agree their mice suck. No argument here at all.

Generally considered some of the best screens in the industry.
