No more customers getting blamed for ‘fake’ stamps, hopefully

You’re suggesting that every user should learn programming. All 8 billion people. How do you not see the ridiculousness of that suggestion.

Because, please don’t make that recommendation to anybody else. Of all the places for somebody to start contributing to open source, linux is probably among the top in complexity. And if it’s a new user, as per the original topic of this post, and they can’t figure out their issue from the million guides online, you’re just ensuring they make a speedy return to windows.

1. someone complaining about something openly instead of using the proper channels

I refer you back to my original statement. I was not asking how to do something. I was grousing that basic tasks are extremely user-unfriendly to configure. I’ve fixed it on my computer. That’s not the topic under discussion.

2. someone suggesting they use the proper channels

What proper channels? We’re in a post claiming it’s the YOTLD again, because OP apparently doesn’t realise it’s been claimed every year for the last couple decades. I’m posting about why that’s not gonna happen this year either.

3. they denying that its an issue they can help fix but a general failing of the software/vendor (typical proprietary software-user behavior)

I could fix it. However, I have no intention of opening a PR and spending what little free time I have contributing to open source (I’ll contribute money, but not my time). Kudos to those who do write and maintain open source, but that’s not for me.

4. & 5.

I think you can see how we’ve diverged into entirely different directions already.

A more classic example of linux users pushing others away, I could not have come up with.

“I have so-and-so issue”

“Fork the OS and fix it yourself!”

Yeah, no. I already spend 8 hours a day programming, I’d like my free time to be spent elsewhere, thanks.

If minor issues like this bother you while major issues like data collection and ad pushing dont

As I pointed out, I’m using it because MS is screwing the pooch with those issues.

you dont want to participate in making linux better by submitting bug reports

These are known issues, and have been around for more than a decade. They’re not bugs, they’re missing basic features. But sure, go ahead and assume stuff.

Its very much like owning a house or a ranch. You‘re free of others and can do whatever you like. But you do have to do your own maintenance.

If you want to go back paying rent for a shoebox apartment, thats your choice.

It’s probably closer to renting a apartment vs owning a shack (or it was, before said screwing of said pooch). You can upgrade it into a mansion if you want, but that’s not where you start.

Honestly, I am so tempted to ditch Linux because of minor issues like this. No autoscroll on scroll wheel, no option for mono audio, etc etc. I do not want to set up a million scripts to customise my experience, I want the options to be there by default. If MS wasn’t screwing the pooch I probably would have moved back at some point.

Most of the points listed here don’t matter a hoot to the average user.

What’s the use case, though? There really isn’t much benefit to humanoid form robots outside of looking good to human aesthetics. Much of what robotics and automation would be good for don’t actually require humanoid forms.

“Pay-to-win is accepted here [in Interactive World], but the free-to-play experience is awful and that’s what needs to be improved right now.”

Who could have foreseen that?

I either live in the right part of the world, or the wrong part, because I’ve never seen this stuff.

They were willing till prosecute, jail, and drive their postmasters to suicide, what’s a $5 fine?

This is why beehaw needs downvotes. Crappy submissions like this article that don’t make any sense

Edit: OP has been spamming his nonsense across multiple communities, and has hundreds of downvotes on each of them. Except here on beehaw…

“Any allegation that fake stamps have been purchased at a Post Office is extremely serious. The implication of such an allegation is that one of our postmasters, or a member of their staff, has obtained fake stamps and have chosen to sell them to customers rather than selling legitimate stamps that have come from Royal Mail’s secure printers.

“This is why we insist that any customer who thinks they may have purchased a fake stamp from a Post Office must produce an itemised receipt so that this can be looked into further.

Fucking ass covering bullshit. Just ignore the most likely reason, which is that your readers are malfunctioning, and avoid investigating because who the fuck keeps receipts for stamps?

People will create drama in anything…

Sounds interesting, but I can’t find any 3rd party site discussing this. Do you have any links to neutral sources?

Starcraft was pretty good if you ignore the mtx. I’d be happy with a non-predatory starcraft.

Eh, I’m happy to let apple do stupid stuff to lose themselves customers and / or bring the EU down on their heads

Aren’t the Jewish supposed to be supercapitalist banker financiers or something? How did they go from that to commie?
