      A bad take from a good person. I like your history so i want you to think about this…Don’t get mad at or direct hate towards passionate people. The world needs them to make stuff for the rest of us schlubs who spread our attention thin. Besides, isn’t some of that annoyance, just a little of that prickly feeling, jealousy?

      I get the feeling you’re expressing here, i do. I’ve felt it myself. I personally have wondered why, and done some self-reflection and considered maybe this is my answer. If it makes sense then maybe it is your answer too. Whatever you’re reason for feeling this way, the next thing to ponder is is whether expressing this emotion to others has a practical use for them to hear, out for you to say.

      This one is a feeling that is useless to everyone especially yourself.

      it is one to recognize as a failing and to work on, not to express in a forum as an emotion to be proud of

        Fair enough, I was too casual to judge a community based on the circlejerk. But my frustrations lie with the circlejerk that there is more on lemmy.

      why is this an L? Linux is fully capable of 4k playback. any Linux user (with a 4k screen) can go to YouTube and watch a 4k video in full quality. Linux support is there, the bandwidth is probably there, the hardware power is there (Asahi Linux is for Apple hardware), so the problem is either Netflix or DRM in general

        The level of downvotes on this comment is absolutely wild, although unsurprising since the OP is about a W for Linux…

        On the flipside at least we’re not a certain other website that restricts user activity based on their internet points… so OC can still participate without their stuff being auto deleted by a bot

          The Ratio or Ratioed refers to an unofficial Twitter law which states that if the amount of replies to a tweet greatly outnumbers the number of retweets and likes, then the tweet is bad. Additionally, “to ratio” a tweet means to make a quote retweet or reply that manages to get more likes and retweets than the quoted post.

          Massive downvote to upvote discrepancy on Lemmy would constitute “a ratio” / “getting ratioed“.

      Giving you the benefit of the doubt, how is this an ‘L’ for Linux?

      Of course you’re allowed to not like Linux enthusiasts; like any hardcore dedicated group, they can be intense and uncompromising… But that has nothing to do with this.
