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 Is this a Con job, or... a... Con Fess shun?..

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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

⬆️ @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.
