What part of the existence of other people than you don't you comprehend? Also, what does pansexuality have to do with anything? You can also be a pansexual starfish.
Pansexuality also doesn't excuse poor behavior and anger management issues.

Likely because she's a fake profile employed by the dating app provider to make it look like there are tons of available women on the platform.
This way the (male) customers think they can't find anyone on the platform because they are not attractive (too short) and not because the platform is filled with bots.
And since height is a metric that's close to impossible to change, there's no way for the customer to improve and then figure out that the profiles are fake.
What's wrong with you? I did reply to you to expound on your point because it fit well there.
Do you always attack people who have a similar opinion than yourself?
If we take this comic seriously, the real issue here is that either he's not asking her what she likes, she's not telling him or she doesn't know either.
Either way, him going to extreme lengths to learn how to please her is not the problem at hand.
Him having to call a radio broadcast because it's easier to get the information that way than from his partner is a massive problem.
Of course this is a satirical web comic, but if we take this seriosly, there's only two ways this situation could happen:
- Communication so extremely broken in this relationship that it's easier for him to get the information he needs by calling a public radio broadcast.
- She too has no clue at all about sex and thus can't even tell him what she likes. (This is actually more common in women than one might think.)
In any way, piling on him for going to extreme lengths trying to learn how to satisfy her is not the problem in that relationship.
Instead, this comic plays into some real-life double standards that I really don't like:
- Sexual prowess is something that men are required to have and it's shameful if they don't have that skill. Sexual prowess is something that women don't need to have and it can be seen as suspect if they do have that skill.
- Sex is something that men do to women while the only part that women need to play during sex is be in the room and play starfish.
- Men need to know what this specific woman likes without her communicating that at all.
- What he likes doesn't play into the situation at all. If he wants some pleasure out of sex, he needs to do it himself.
Try gender swapping the comic and there is no joke any more.
Works good enough for all that a manager cares about.
Why is it always dumb people who try to insult other people's intelligence?
Now I want to see the plug.
That's generally the thing with decisions that don't matter much. If one option is much better, there is no discussion.
But if the benefits of either option are marginal at best, you get tons of discussion and no decision.
For example, the EU decided almost a decade ago that they would get rid of daylight saving time, and everyone quickly agreed that DST sucks, mostly because changing the clocks sucks.
Since then, the whole EU has been arguing about whether to keep summer time or winter time, even though that matters so little that we have been using both of them for decades. A week after switching DST, nobody even notices the time shift.
That's why at work if a discussion goes on for too long I usually point out that that's the case because all options are almost equally as good and thus we should just pick a random one instead of continuing to waste time discussing in circles.
On the one hand, tree shaking is often not used, even in large corporate projects.
On the other hand, tree shaking is much less effective than what a good compiler does. Tree shaking only works on a per-module basis, while compilers can optimize down to a code-line basis. Unused functions are not included, and not even variables that can be optimized out are included.
But the biggest issue (and one that tree shaking can also not really help against) is that due to the weak standard library of JS a ton of very simple things are implemented in lots of different ways. It's not uncommon for a decently sized project (including all of the dependencies) to contain a dozen or so implementations of a padding function or some other small helper functions.
And since all of them are used somewhere in the dependency tree, none of them can be optimized out.
That's not really a problem of the runtime or the language itself, but since the language and its environment are quite tightly coupled, it is a big problem when developing on JS.
I'm not too optimistic on that one. Bloated software has been an issue for the last 20 or so years at least.
At the same time upgrade cycles have become much slower. In the 90s you'd upgrade your PC every two years and each upgrade would bring whole entire use cases that just weren't possible before. Similar story with smartphones until the mid-2010s.
Nowadays people use their PCs for upwards of 10 years and their smartphones until they drop them and crack the screen.
Devices have so much performance nowadays that you can really just run some electron apps and not worry about it. It might lag a little at times, but nobody buys a new device just because the loyalty app of your local supermarket is laggy.
I don't like Electron either, but tbh, most apps running on Electon are so light-weight that it doesn't matter much that they waste 10x the performance. If your device can handle a browser with 100 tabs, there's no issue running an Electron app either.
Lastly, most Electron/Webview apps aren't really a matter of choice. If your company uses Teams you will use teams, no matter how shit it runs on your device. If you need to use your public transport, you will use their app, no matter if it's Electron or not. Same with your bank, your mobile phone carrier or any other service.
What's your point? "Don't use Linux unless you are a professional user"?
Beginners have to begin somewhere and they need to get info from somewhere.
A lot of Linux UX is still at the level where it doesn't give enough relevant information to a non-technical user in a way that the user can actually make an informed decision. That is the core problem.
Whether users get their wrong information from AI, Stackoverflow, random tutorials, Google, a friend or somewhere else hardly matters.
Take for example a look at the setup process of a Synology NAS. A 10yo can successfully navigate that process, because it's so well done. We need more of that, especially for FOSS stuff.
Too much of Linux is built by engineers for engineers.
I totally agree with the rant, and a big issue is that the Linux community specifically consists to a large part of technicians and not users who then go full surprised pikachu face when they see a user who is not a technician.
But seriosly, how would a (to quote OP) "total beginner" know that AI is not a good place to look for help?
And, tbh, it sometimes does actually help. AI lies more often than it doesn't, but it at least tries to help, which is more than I can say of most members of the Linux community.
I had an issue on Fedora 42 where the performance of my games would randomly be abysmal. One day I can play current AAA titles without issue on my Nvidia 4070, the next day I have to measure performance in "Seconds per Frame" even on 15yo indie titles. This issue only affects game started from Heroic, all other things I try including all debugging stuff works fine.
I'm not a new Linux user. I'm a developer and I've been using Linux for about 20 years. So I get to debugging, googling, reading bug reports, all that, and can't find anything. I ask on StackExchange, Lemmy, even Reddit, no result. Most people are like "Works on my machine, noob", and a handful people are like "I have the same issue and no solution.
So after a year or so I swallow my pride and ask ChatGPT. The first answer is correct: Heroic (and thus all proton/wine games it spawns) runs in Flatpak. Flatpak has its own version of the Nvidia drivers, and if that version doesn't exactly match the OS driver version it falls back to software rendering. So if I do
dnf updateand it updates the Nvidia drivers this breaks my performance until I doflatpak update. I often ranflatpak updatebeforednf updateand thus my performance sucked.Yes, the majority of the answers I get from AI are lies. But without AI I would still not be able to game on my system.
AI is a tool, and for beginners its a tricky tool, because sometimes it works perfectly, but sometimes it totally messes everything up. The same holds true for pretty much any other source of information made for beginners. Before "Don't paste AI commands into CLI" we had "Don't paste stuff from Stackoverflow into CLI" and before that it was "Don't paste stuff you found on Google into CLI".
Kinda as evidenced by a lot of the other responses. Thanks for the affirmation!
Add to the list: doing native development most often means doing it twice. Native apps are better in pretty much every metric, but rarely are they so much better that management decides it's worth doing the same work multiple times.
If you do native, you usually need a web version, Android, iOS, and if you are lucky you can develop Windows/Linux/Mac only once and only have to take the variation between them into account.
Do the same in Electon and a single reactive web version works for everything. It's hard to justify multiple app development teams if a single one suffices too.
The only evidence that OP irreparably nuked their hardware is ChatGPTs word.
The bigger issue ad hand is that everyone here is a noob when it comes to exotic hardware like SAS, and still everyone here thinks they are 1337 haxors enough to tell OP that they are a noob idiot.
Tbh, if OP asks for help here and there's 49 comments of people being dicks and one that actually helps it might be worthwhile. But as it stands it's 50 to 0, with nobody here beeing educated enough to know anything about the subject.
Did it occur to you that OP might be a total beginner who doesn't know about the conventions on how to report issues and how to format posts?
I had a problem with Fedora 42, where the performance of my games would be fine one day and abysmal another day. Couldn't find a pattern. I googled a ton, tried to debug myself, asked on reddit, stackexchange, the fedora forum and lemmy. I only got answers like "Works fine on my machine, noob" and "I have that problem too". It only affected games running in proton on heroic, everything else was fine.
After about a year of on-and-off debugging and asking around, I swallowed my pride and asked ChatGPT.
First answer from that thing was correct: I had run
dnf updatewithout doing aflatpak updateright afterwards. Turns out, flatpak has its own copy of Nvidia drivers and if the system driver is updated without the flatpak copy being updated, it falls back to software rendering. So the performance was crap until I didflatpak updatethe next time, and broke again when I randnf update.I still haven't found that in any documentation so far.
AI is crap more often than not, but it does at least try to help and sometimes it actually does.
Look in this thread here. Is there even a single answer that tries to help OP, or is every single answer here just dumb snark?
Can you blame them?
The manuals are written by experts for experts and in most cases entirely useless for complete beginners who likely won't be able to even find the right manual page (or even the right manual to begin with).
Tutoral pages are overwhelmingly AI vomit too, but AI vomit from last year's AI, so even worse than asking AI right now.
Asking for help online just gets you a "lol, RTFM, noob!"
Look at this thread right now and count how many snarky bullshit answers are there that don't even try to answer the question, how many answers like "I got no idea" are there and then how many actually helpful answers are here.
Can you really blame anyone who turns to AI, because that garbage at least sounds like it tries to help you?
You know, it's totally fine to have LGBTQ+ only spaces and demand that these spaces stay exclusively LGBTQ+.
It's really weird though to butt into a thread that's specifically about heterosexual relationships and then demand that everything there is LGBTQ+.
It's about as tone-deaf and inappropriate as if someone would join a queer community and then call everyone slurs for talking about LGBTQ+ relationships.
Your choice of relationship is of course of, but offtopic here.
Please stay respectful. You want respect for your pansexuality, please be respectful of other people's lifestyle choices. Don't be a bigot.
