  • SerenityOS and LadyBirds: Because These Things Shouldn't Hide in Closed Git Conversations - ░ Nova Online

  • Exactly this.

    Just because you wrote your documentation a certain way, doesn't automatically mean that you feel a certain way about any particular group, or that your users are primarily a certain gender. It may just be writing what pronoun you are most familiar with.

    In this particular case, we can see that the author didn't exactly make the best case for himself.

    However, there was never a problem to begin with until the person that requested the change also accused the the author of assuming that the user/dev of the OS is male.

    If that little bit of accusation would have been left out, and they just put a note like "grammatical correction" it may have just been accepted and moved on. Instead they asked for a change while accusing the author of feeling a certain way.

  • There literally wasn't a problem.

    Until the person that asked for the correction literally assumed that said dev was assuming. Since thats what they said in their comment.

    So I can understand being a little pissy at someone pointing to you and accusing you of assuming something. It's stupid.

    I may have been a little irritated too if someone accused me of assuming something. I wouldn't have reacted the same, but I would have been clear that I in no way assume anything related to gender identity.

    If the person wouldn't have put that assumption into their comment, the change may have been more likely to happen.

    Instead they assumed something and got push back which turned into the scene we see now.

    Ass u me... I mean it's pretty clear.

  • I understand that, but the whole point behind it was them making an assumption about something and proposing a change because they didn't like their term that the dev used. Yet there was LITERALLY nothing wrong with the term.

    The guy definitely made an ass of himself with his responses.

    Like I said, both of them are idiots over this. It was pointless to make an issue out of it to begin with, and then then the dev making it even worse didn't help.

  • To be fair, it's also kinda dumb to point out something as an issue when it clearly wasnt, and saying "assuming the user/developer if the OS is a male" means that the person complaining is assuming that this dev was assuming something because he used the word he.

    The issue was that the person decided that it bothered them so much that they needed to ask the dev to change it.

    This has idiots on both sides written all over. Why is that person being nitpicky over something so stupid. Women use she/her in their writing all the time, just like men use he/him, and people with other pronouns are more likely to use what is familiar to them such as they/them.

    I say this as someone with a child that has been reading books to them and noticed that an authors gender and the pronouns they use seem to correlate more often than not. Unless the book focuses on topics of or relating to understanding and accepting the differences in people. Both people are dumb in this scenario.

    Edit: let me put things into a perspective that maybe some of you can understand. Let's take anything related to gender or being PC out of the equation.

    I ask you to make a change to your documentation because I don't like the way you said something, then accuse you of being or believing a certain kind of way because of the grammar you used.

    That is what this person did.

    Now let's assume (yeah I said it) for the sake of my argument that the person doesn't feel any kind of way about the thing that they were accused of being. I'm pretty sure that person might just take offence to that. Which in this case is exactly what happened.

    Had there just been a change that said something along the lines of just a simple grammatical correction. It probably would have be pushed and ignored.

    In this case the dev definitely seemed like an ass, but that's not the point. The point is the whole fucking situation is stupid.

  • I would imagine that it's exactly because of the word you used. Fraud.

    If someone is going on a chargback spree it's going to look fraudulent from the customers end. So their would likely need to be some kind of evidence or back and forth with the credit card company. Since they are now the middle man taking money from companies and putting it back in a lowly plebs pocket.

  • Assetto Corsa Content Manager Question

    Jump

  • I didn't at first, but after the response from @mranderson17 I ended up doing just that. Which seems to have resolved that issue.

    Prior to enabling testing/unstable repos for access to Plasma 6.1, CM was working fine on Wayland. However after the update it seems to have broken it but changing to X11 fixes the issue. So it's likely a combination of me messing with my system and something with Plasma 6.1.

  • Assetto Corsa Content Manager Question

    Jump

  • Thank you for that.

    It didn't help but it definitely got me moving in the right direction. I remembered that I recently (yesterday) enabled the testing and kde-unstable repos in my system so I could install Plasma 6.1 to check it out. Prior to this change I had CM working properly but was having issues getting CSP to work. Well, I figured out a workaround to getting CSP to work (after this change) by just copying over my install directory from windows on top of the install in Linux. However since I had already updated to Plasma 6.1 it came with the new issue of the drop down menus.

    I was using Wayland. Just swapped over to X11 and it's working as intended. So something with Plasma 6.1 on Wayland is causing the issue.

    So mostly a bunch of messing around with my system is probably what is causing the issue and for whatever reason disabling the testing and unstable repos isn't allowing me to revert back to the previous version of Plasma. Not really sure why but that's a totally different issue.

    I really appreciate the time you took to give me such an in depth response.

  • Microsoft accidentally lists the benefits of not using a Microsoft account on Windows 11

  • Again, it is not a "Custom OS" you aren't installing it as an OS from an ISO. You are still required to have your own licensed version of windows and install that prior to using AtlasOS. Using it does not cause security and instability issues as long as you understand what you are doing. Yes it is stripping things from windows. It's also open source so if you were so inclined you could see exactly what is being done.

    If you equate using an automated solution to do things that you could do manually albeit with a bit more work involved, then every single OS is custom the second you change anything on it.

    I do use Linux for what it's worth and have been for around 20 years. I've also been working in Tech for the last 15 ish years. I wouldn't be blindly recommending something that would wreck someone's security.

    Please do some research.

    https://github.com/atlas-os/atlas

    There's a link to their source code. They even state that you have options to what security settings get messed with. So again, as long as you READ and understand what you are doing, you aren't necessarily breaking your systems security.

  • It's not a custom version of windows.

    Please make sure you do some research before you implicate things.

    AtlasOS modifies a fresh install of windows to help get rid of bloat ware and some of the security concerns that MS puts in their OS.

  • Dual boot, and use something like AtlasOS to clean up the BS that comes with windows.

    I have a separate drive with windows for solidworks and a few online games I play occasionally. 99% of the time I run Linux though.

    That being said I understand if you game online a lot and those games don't work in Linux then that really isn't an option.

    At the very least though I would check out something like AtlasOS, it works for both W10 and 11.

  • I do agree with you on the accidental thing 100%. Accidents happen, but that's different than what is being discussed.

    Also, yeah it may seem funny if it happens to some high profile person, but put yourself on the receiving end of a direct intentional thing like that and you aren't going to be overly happy about it. You definitely understand that.

    I grew up in some not so great places, got bullied a lot as a kid. I don't bully people as a result but I am a bit more defensive and would be quick to toss a jab and subsequent more if I felt the need was there.

    All in all, I do feel that I want to be 100% clear that I'm not defending the guy, I don't know the situation, dude obviously had an advantage and in the brief bit that we see it does kinda seem like they were both instigating the situation.

  • It's possible, but fortunately I'm not.

    It doesn't matter if it hurt or not. The point is, if someone were to assault me I would defend myself because I would immediately be put into a position where I need to consider what this person is about to do.

    Inb4 "but it didn't hurt, it's just liquid", that isn't the point. Should it be ok for people to just throw liquid on you? Ahh so just go tell the cops so they can do nothing or if you're even less fortunate that you're already dry at that point and that person is long gone.

    So what is the right solution here? I seriously doubt you would just walk away if someone walked up to you and threw a cup of whatever in your face.

  • There's a difference between trying to fight where the problem stems from and handling it in an appropriate manner and getting pissed and throwing a drink at someone.

    Throwing a drink at someone and expecting to not get hit is a poor way to look at how the real world works.

  • No, my points are valid, not conjecture.

    Your are making the point that she didn't deserve to get hit because she assaulted him.

    No, it very obviously didn't hurt him but if someone threw a drink at me, I would respond with like treatment or worse. This is the real world, let's treat it like it is and not beat around the bush about it.

    As I mentioned before though, it's possible (and likely) that he started the whole thing though. Without more context though we don't know. Either way, if she assaulted him, and he started it, they are both acting stupid, plain and simple.

  • I'm not defending the guy but he has liquid on his back and you can barely hear him say something which sounds like she threw shit at me.

    If she threw shit at him and hit him with it... I kinda don't blame him.

    If he said something nasty, racist homophobic or otherwise insulting to her and then she threw something at him, that makes it a bit more questionable on whether or not she deserved to get hit.

    This needs much more context.

    That being said, the dude very likely was being a prick and deserved to have shit thrown at him. Still though, if you assault someone first, don't expect to not get it back. Male vs female, male vs male, female vs female and all other things in-between, you start shit, there might be repercussions. Make sure you are prepared to handle that.

    Ignoring some bigot (if he started it with words) could have potentially saved her getting her face fucked up.

    I'm sure I'll get downvoted for that but my point is still 100% valid.

    Edit: For the people that don't seem to understand how the world works. Try this experiment and get back to me. Go out into the city with a cup full of some random liquid (water, soda, whatever) find someone bigger than you and throw it all over them. Please report back and tell me how that worked out for you.

    Also here's another site that has some information on AtlasOS as well as some other tools.

  • Where was the husband during this? Not that he could have done a whole lot, but it mentioned that she was traveling with him and then nothing after that.

    Ok then, down voted for asking a legitimate question. She was traveling with her husband, it says it in the article but mentions nothing else about him.

    Was he there? Did he try to stop it and get murdered? Was he away and the came back to find what happened?

    It just seems odd to toss in the fact that they were traveling together and provide no other context.
