I’m going to start this article off by saying that you don’t have to be born in the boomer generation to be a boomer. You can be a boomer by acting like one. Hate new stuff? boomer. Run a desktop from the naughties? Boomer.

      Also here are the two rules quoted by lemmy.ml’s linux group:

      1. Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
      2. No misinformation

      Regarding #1, Techrights does have to do with Linux. It is a Linux promoting website. I understood why it might fit this rule so I posted it. The admins didn’t agree, so I posted it somewhere else. I thought a shitposting group might fit but people said it wasn’t a shitpost. I wasn’t spamming it, I was trying to find a group where it seemed to fit and the admins didn’t agree.

      Regarding #2, it’s not misinformation at all. All the facts were backed up with screenshots and actual log files. I had a lot of people saying it was fake news because they didn’t want to believe actual facts that were logged on Techrights irc server.

      Linux @ lemmy.ml didn’t have to ban me, I did get the automod message saying the post was removed but they never sent me one saying I was banned so I had no idea I was banned or was “ban evading.”

      Lemmy.world didn’t have to ban me. They could have given me a warning or a suspension. The Terms of Service for Lemmy.World indicated such. I figure Lemmy.world is just run by people who were mad because of the article and maybe they’re pro techrights.

      Not everyone has to agree to an article and not every post has to be something everyone agrees with. Contrary opinions should be welcome, and the fact that upvoting and downvoting exist should be used instead of reporting something you don’t like to get it off the internet.

          First off, ad hominem.

          I’m a legal professional. Rules matter but admins have wildly different interpretations about the language they use in the rules. That’s also why I like to swear in my articles. I write dry boring legal proceedings all day long and I am super autistic.

          I’m kind of tired of the same lame articles such as:

          1. Review of X distro
          2. How to install X on Y distro
          3. New version of X is out

          I wanted to be able to express myself against this thing I keep seeing all the time. People attacking the stuff I use because it is new and they don’t like learning new things or they want their system to use only 100MB of ram for some reason. Or they are weird and they want to use the same thing for the next fifty years with nothing but security and bug fixes. That’s not how technology moves forward.

          Swearing isn’t bad, it’s great. It is a sign of intelligence. That’s not to say unintelligent people swear too though as the following quote is from someone who didn’t get past grade 10. But, also studies show that people who swear are more honest. People who lie often spend a lot of time crafting what they say and people who don’t swear often fit in this group.

          From Trailer Park Boys (An amazing Canadian show):

          Ricky: Look, I can’t speak without swearing, and I’ve only got my Grade 10, and I haven’t had a cigarette since I’ve been arrested, and I’m ready to fuckin’ snap. So I’d like to make a request under the people’s freedom of choices and voices act that I be able to smoke and swear in your courtroom. Because if I can’t smoke and swear, I’m fucked! And so are all these guys. I won’t be able to properly express myself at a court level, and that’s bullshit! It’s not fair and if you ask me, I think it’s a fuckin’ mistrial.

          I wanted to bring something different to the table and see what people thought about it. Are a majority of Linux users boomers, or are they a minority? That is interesting to me. People are commenting and sharing their counter opinions on it. I’m considering some of it. I disagree with other parts. Isn’t that a great thing? It’s not an echo chamber.

          I see things in my feeds all the time that I don’t agree with. I don’t try to erase their existence, I downvote and keep scrolling. I mentioned that I did not know I was banned, and Leminal.space isn’t against free speech so if you block me again it will likely stick. I had no idea you blocked me, so there is no possible way I knew I was evading your own personal block list.

          So block me already and move on with your life.

              Well this article is directly about Linux and it isn’t misinformation. It could result in being deleted and get me banned me from the group if the mods decide I somehow broke the rules. If I am banned from the group, fair enough, I’ll post elsewhere. I’m only going to post directly about Linux, not a website that is one step removed it. I learned that lesson. I don’t think it is a problem to post controversial opinions.

              Leminal.space is unlikely to ban me, so blocking me should work.
