@fesshole Same with StackOverflow - that site is toxic. For all the complaints about AI - it gives me better results without the blatant misogyny. Not least - no mansplaining to me why my question is wrong. I will not miss its demise.
@chronovore @fesshole oh don’t worry, as a man I too always get a bunch of busybodies explaining why my question is wrong wrong wrong (alternative explanation: could be that I just ask really stupid questions 🙂)

On Linux forums I, a woman, would get ignored and disrespected. These days I ask my question, then switch to a fake account to give a completely wrong answer, then switch back again to thank them and praise their Linux knowledge. The experts show up right away. Sorted.
@fesshole If you don't know the answer, how do you know it's the wrong answer?
This is, of course, a version of the "a stopped clock is right twice a day" problem.

@fesshole It's just nerds not able to resist to correct wrong stuff. I see it all the time. Hell even they cant resist apostrophe's and wrong splellings !
But I have respect for women. I'm just scared of them. I'm afraid to look at their faces, eyes or come in contact with them. Not because I hate women, but I don't want to offend, or cause any kind of commotion. I'm scared of the unknown and they are the unknown
I've had traumatic experiences with my parents, especially with my mum so yeah...

@chronovore @fesshole the same happened with mathoverflow. It wasn't like this when it started but at some point in the last decade it changed.

@fesshole That's really disappointing to hear.

@juliaclement @fesshole I don't know what the cure to cancer is, but I sure as hell know that it *isn't* topical chlorine gas. We've known that since WW1.

No, it defeats the bullshit “wisdom of crowds.” D-K is like the gravitational constant.

@fesshole I really wish this sounded less legit. :(

@juliaclement @fesshole it's something she tried and didn't work, so it's surely wrong

@jesusmargar @chronovore @fesshole Tends to remind me of walking and dog. They just GOTTA PEE right here because someone else was here and their stink needs to reign supreme. That's really what's going on. Sad apes beating their chest trying to mark territory where they feel powerful.

@fesshole Not a woman but often incapable of eliciting a response to my basic Linux questions. Maybe I should try your method!

@juliaclement @fesshole she probably posts about something she already tried. Something that sounds feasible (hence answer) but didn't actually work (hence wrong).

@chronovore @fesshole that's what drives me crazy about SO
At its start it was really helpful. But then the site gradually became less about Q&A and more about going for points and e-peen measuring. Way too many questions end up "why are you doing that" or having the highest voted answer being flagrantly wrong
Still it's nominally better than the before times where searching a question turned up forum threads with no answer, elitist flaming, "fixed it" or paywalled Experts Exchange links.
@beeoproblem @chronovore @fesshole I always hated finding someone with the exact problem I had, on the exact components, running the exact programs. Then after reading 83 responses they post again “never mind, fixed it” archived from 2 years before.

Taps the "Dunning-Kruger effect is an error of statistical analysis" sign.

@passwordsarehard4 @chronovore @fesshole I wish I could reach through the internet, grab them by the shoulders and just tell "HOW?!??!? WHY DIDN'T YOU POST HOW?!?!"

@jnow I don't think that's entirely true. The Wikipedia article says most of the funds are spent in New York and New Jersey.

@evan I was talking about how I invented the fediverse. I did it all by myself

Thanks to your CWs @cwebber I am blissfully unaware of whatever the hell you were talking about

@vv maybe they should, maybe they shouldn't

⬆️ @avilewis
>> PM #MarkCarney: you can and must categorically rule out participation in this illegal war.
>> Your unqualified support of Trump and Netanyahu’s war was bad enough. It’s unconscionable that you’re now considering putting Canadian forces in harm’s way.
It is not "unqualified support." He tactfully said "when it makes sense," and he thus avoided antagonizing #Trump the way #Spain's #PedroSanchez did.
"… when ir makes sense" is an escape hatch for #Canada whenever it needs it.

@drclareharris @dbattistella I guess it's fitting for all times.
It seems humanity simply never learns.

@Otttoz @esilvia tu diresti a una persona depressa che è uno stronzo?
Se non votano non vuol dire che hanno ragione, ma magari hanno i loro motivi, e insultare non serve a niente, ti ascoltassero potrebbe essere peggio
Se non hanno la forza di fare, bisogna prendersi in carico il problema e cambiare le cose
Se la fiducia si è rotta, si può sperare che non sia definitivamente, e possa tornare
Insultare è un modo di arrendersi, non ce lo possiamo permettere
