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
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that. One would think that the glory penguin does not allow something like that. Forums in general are always a risky a place to ask questions. "to hell with you if you didn't read the 60 page FAQ and the 20 page 'where to start'". it's even worse if there is a just slightly similar question laying around somewhere on the board that has been answered. and " damn you" if you didnt put enough information like all of your sensitive details and logs in your question from the start.. i'm sad to hear that with all the obstacles that are already there, beeing a woman adds another one. -

@fesshole One problem on those pages is definitely, that those persons who are able to solve all these problems are very smart with that stuff... but not with human interaction.. or patience.. or understanding the emotional side of a logical correction.. and that that incompetence maybe makes them even more toxic..

@beeoproblem @chronovore @fesshole Any examples of the highest voted answer being indeed wrong?
@richlv @beeoproblem @chronovore @fesshole
On ask Ubuntu, the highest rated answer is often out if date, but it can sometimes be a useful hint on how to search further.

@richlv @chronovore @fesshole example I ran into today was an answer to a question "misunderstanding of before in cypress." Person is visiting a page in a (before) call, first test passes others fail with a blank page.
Top answer "you are trying one test per command" which is an architectural decision unrelated to the question
Actual, correct answer "you have test isolation turned on"
I don't keep a list of encounters but it's something I run into often enough to remember as a "thing"

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

@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 🙂)

@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.

@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 connaît rien au monde de l'art. Je suis étonné 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.

@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 lì, che ci penso io eh

Dall’archivio di Cassandra/ Un 95% di privacy
Ok il 2006 porta con sé il Decreto Pisanu e le crescenti minacce alla privacy in rete. Ma il 2007? Ecco cosa si può fare per cambiare subito lo stato delle cose e recuperare spazi di libertà.
