@manuelcaeiro @Linux_in_a_Bit my point is that some of us need those "lower standards". If someone not being able to RTFM and successfully search for everything we need to know makes us stupid, I am stupid and I need us to lower standards as if I am stupid
And allowing only people who aren't "stupid" to use a thing is ableist

@manuelcaeiro @Linux_in_a_Bit some people just are ""stupid"" though? If I had to just read the manual and that was my only option to use Linux, I'd still be suffering on Windows. People you might consider "stupid" deserve access to free tech too, because liberation shouldn't be reserved for people with a certain amount of "intelligence" or any other white supremacist made up trait (or any real trait either, other than being alive)

@crocodisle @Linux_in_a_Bit seriously, it'd be so much easier to just web search the answer if people stopped ""answering"" with useless comments
Why is it so hard to just scroll past a question they don't want to answer?

@mahadevank @Linux_in_a_Bit this is a good idea! Like most of the change we want to see in the world, this is an opportunity to organize

@crazyeddie @Linux_in_a_Bit this isn't a demand, it's a suggestion. If we want more people using Linux, we have to help them. If we don't want to help them, we have to accept that most people will not use Linux. There's a choice here, we just can't expect that everyone is going to learn how to use it without help. And you can feel free to ignore every question, and that'll still have a better effect than replying to complain or belittle people. Those of us with something nice to say can answer

@CedC @Linux_in_a_Bit and the other great thing (/s) about those answers is that they have no responsibility or safeguards to stick to the truth, so it's always a fun little gambling game of "will this work, do nothing, or brick my device?"
So much better than asking real people who actually know about a thing and can give you an accurate and nuanced answer!
