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 not all linux forums

@fesshole Setting the mansplainers against themselves is what's called a pro gamer move I reckon

@fesshole Wow, yeah sorry we have so many âsuperiority complexâsâ in technology & science.
I have a few words to say to people about this exact subject⌠I will rant about it at a later date.
But hereâs my main message:
Be kind to one another, people, you have to stop being so âsuperiorâ , because youâre not helping anyone learn anything when you behave like this. And no, youâre not âbetter than everyoneâ you just âknow a bit more of somethingâ. -

@fesshole This is so clever. Iâve posted questions where I included the steps I tried that didnât work and still get âanswersâ asking if I tried doing just those things. I may try this in the future. Thanks!

@fesshole I normally only stay on certain sides of the Linux community, mostly super queer ones, so I forgot how very non-progressive so much of it is.
@doraii @fesshole The Linux community is probably the most extreme community ever (as a bi furry myself). Excluding the people who use it for their job.
You get the extremely "Don't Tread on Me" individualistic conservatives and then the more collectivist, very gay side which has the vibe of a cheesey cyberpunk film (in a good way) who are responsible for like 80% of the projects people care about.
Surprisingly the Venn diagram isn't entirely seperate.

These problems existed long before Internet fora. Back in the days of BBS and fidonet, there was some guy in the Midwest that always confused expanded vs extended memory. I wanted to drive there and kick him in the nuts.

@fesshole as a rule Iâve always looked at the answer (or question) not who posted it. As for asking technical Qâs on forums; The 10-80-10 rule applies.
10% are noobs with the wrong answer.
80% donât know the answer, think they do and often, not always lead you down the wrong path to a partial solution.The final 10% know the answer, may or may not reply or even be on the forums.

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

@fesshole The issue here isn't the specific "women" part, it's the "Linux" part. I can tell you as a Debian, ex Fedora, ex Arch user, that everyone on Linux Forums is an asshole and no one gives any helpful answers, Linux for me is a trial by fire thing, I've managed to claw my way into kinda somewhat knowing how it works now.

@fesshole @pewnack yeah Iâve seen that. I was a beta tester on a popular *Old-World* Q/A where I was âLast seen more than 10 years agoâ. ÂĽ
The login system used bad, the idea of technical pedantâs answering questions from mostly n00bs was rewarded.
Thoughtful longer tailored answers ignored for short snappy RTFM, then mean cryptic answers or references to past questions was the norm.
AI chewed this idea up. Couldnât have happened to a nicer mob.
The way Python docs are written, Man & info files, RFCs and books are a gold standard for documentation and learning core concepts. Usenet, (historically) twitter were good for water cooler Q/Aâs.

@simone entrare in un discorso con l'atteggiamento "sentiamo cosa dice e poi lo spernacchiamo" non è molto costruttivo
Ho scritto altre volte che la legge elettorale italiana fa schifo, ed è cosa nota
Ma evidentemente ti interessa interrogarmi. Mi spiace, non sono il tuo candidato preferito

@GillesLeCorre2 je n'y connaĂŽt rien au monde de l'art. Je suis ĂŠtonnĂŠ que les dessins, sculptures, tableaux se vendent si bien. Ah zut Nelly vient me souffler que je suis pas ignorant juste pas assez riche.
Bon en tout les cas je reste surpris.

Ma, per parlare di inquinamento, i missili che si stanno usando sono almeno euro6?

@simone interessante domanda, come una persona qualsiasi avesse la soluzione
Mi spiace di averti deluso, ho inventato il moto perpetuo, i razzi che vanno su Marte, il teletrasporto, ma un sistema politico che funzioni e la pace nel mondo ancora no
Aspetta lĂŹ, che ci penso io eh
