This battle will be the same as the others.

Go to the show, and don’t say at the door ‘I’m with the band’. Buy the album on vinyl, CD or cassette. Use Bandcamp where possible for digital music.

Aah yep, throwing the toys from the cot like their tech and defence companies are doing over Europe shopping at home and their citizens when told to vote.

Fits the country like a glove he does.

They aren’t putting that awful biomass on their probe bench.

Those subreddits are exceptionally forgiving toward very bad actors in politics for ‘DisCLosUr3’.

I’m not surprised you were banned for that, it’s a topic they don’t want the mirror held up to.

Yeah they tend to backfire.

How are you even…

Your mum keep you off technology as a kid? Luddites

In this case, wrong as well.

Running Linux won’t stop parents pulling their kids off tech, whether their decision is right or not.

As for the rest, they’re irrational insults given online where had this conversation taken place in a real setting, you wouldn’t have gone near and copped a smack in the mouth for.

Now fuck off please.

more than I realised

Nope, you know nothing about me at all.

You’ve shown yourself to be an arsehole, that’s all you’ve done here.

some guy who worked for the DoD

David Grusch I think his name is, from memory.

a book he was trying to sell

That’s probably Ross Coulthard (whose book isn’t bad btw) who’d just released his book and was promoting Grusch’s story.

That sound familiar to you?

Possibly ay.

I think most of us accept we aren’t alone, are satisfied with that and don’t really want to delve any further into it.

That’s how you took…

On the basis of the comment you replied to, of course I did. I said nothing to warrant that and it took me by surprise. All I said was those parents are probably the majority. Fair enough that you disagreed, but that last line wasn’t necessary at all. That by the way was where I mistook you for OP.

already creeped out by people like you

You don’t know me, as I don’t know you. That’s part of why I apologised to you for my assumptions. I based those on the way you were replying to me.

for a statement of my personal stance

So, you still think I’m untrustworthy around minors, is that what you’re saying? I don’t think that of you. That matters here because others see what we post. Nothing I’ve said warrants that.

Stop using strangers statements…

Not sure where I did this, but anyway.

not seeing you as an exception to that

the fact you would apparently expect

Well it’s not offered so it doesn’t matter, but no, it was asked with no more intent than mine was given…politeness and mutual respect, despite the fact you’ve admitted you sought to provoke.

I don’t expect it and I don’t want it, now. These kinds of insults are pretty shithouse which, along with the fact I value this space and the people in it, I gave mine.

No dramas, an apology for the insinuations that I’m not trustworthy around children as I offered you would be appreciated, though.

It’s hard to argue they aren’t fully right, just not in the way they think.

Yeah looking back, I got confused at the start with people. My apologies.

That said, both of us have unloaded necessarily, especially where our children are concerned. For my part, I’m sorry with that as well.

You mean this article now? You say you read it?

No you fucking didn’t, because your answer was JusT iNsTaLL LinUx when clearly both through this article and real life, there are several reasons why parents prefer to have their children do and submit handwritten work.

No wonder I was confused on which article. None of that excuses your abuse though and you still have no clue what you’re talking about overall, arsehole.

Edit: first paragraph for clarity

I have no idea what you’re raving on about now

None whatsoever

Say sorry Canada geez

Yeah whatever junior. You couldn’t even get the person you’re commenting to right.

I’ve probably changed

Probably worn more as an adult too judging by your reactions.

Go to hell…

if I were half the skeeve

people like you rightly give them the ick

Fuck, you really are unbalanced aren’t you? Nothing I’ve said has warranted your reaction and it underwrites my point about the wellbeing of your children.

That’s what deserves a fuck you, arsehole; your insinuation that I can’t be trusted around children.

you have no more understanding…

How the fuck would you know.

I read your stupid article

Los Angeles suburbanites

really enlightened

I wrote no article about Los Angeles suburbanites champ. You need to stop sniffing Ajax sunshine.

You need some genuine help.

Somehow, I doubt the Venn diagram…

That’s why I asked if you read the article and now I’m wondering if you have experience raising and schooling children. I did read it, the article doesn’t just focus on ‘windows bad’ or ‘AI bad’. I have schooled and raised several kids, including homeschooling and fostered, so not only am I aware that each kid works better with a different approach, many parents, and I know this from personal experience, prefer that their kids do and submit handwritten work. Whatever their rationale is.

You’re half right…suggesting Linux is far less extreme

And fine for the group that is concerned and wants to maintain teaching with tech. However, as I said that’s not the only reason or rationale for parents.

These kids would rather have Steam Decks

A lot of kids would.

Steam decks run Linux

And?

but no…

Again, that lack of knowledge about raising them is showing.

Stay away from my kids

So no need to be an arsehole about it because nothing I’ve said suggested that kind of response. That one deserves a ‘fuck you’. Given what you’ve showed here, I’d be somewhat concerned about their well-being.
