Can you click songs on those tiny list items in the screenshots?

If so, those are some tiny freaking click targets.

What are they saying with that, then? It’s a nothing statement without that implication.

It’s not a valid argument for “it’s fine” either.

And im giving you a context “why everyone does it”.

Alright, tell it to the person who has an issue with the trailer.

I only had an issue with the argument. If you have a valid argument, give it to the person who should hear it. It isn’t me.

Again, I’m not the one moaning about the trailer. Talk to the one who has an issue with the trailer about this. Thank you for your consideration.

… So how did the trailer make you feel?

😄😉

Nah kidding I get your point, although we could argue that there is merit in doing something a certain way because everyone is doing it that way.

Yeah, I mean, sure, it definitely depends on what it is. But if we want to use such an argument, there’d have to be a reason attached as well. Like, “everyone does it, and it’s for a reason, namelyyyyyy…”, you know what I mean?

The argument on its own is just empty. 🤷‍♂️

you judged the trailer for being something it was never expected to be

I didn’t do that. I simply judged the argument of “that’s usually what is done”. That’s not a good argument.

I don’t have much against the trailer itself, can we let that part go? I only here oppose the argument of “everybody does it”. That’s what I had an issue with from the start.

👍👍

your critique of the existence of an announcement trailer

My critique is of the argumentative style of “everyone does it, so it’s fine”.

That’s it.

What do people have against GTK4?

Scripting in fish is so wonderful though.

Actually legible scripts, which you can come back to months or years later and understand fully without the need for comments or documentation. Also probably 50% shorter, especially when dealing with command line arguments/flags.

🤷‍♂️ I guess I’m only interested in certain types of trailers. And that’s the real argument right there, which is valid, that there are different kinds of trailers. That’s perfectly fine.

But my main gripe, regardless of the topic, is to say “everyone does it so it’s fine”. There are very few instances of that being a valid argument. I can think of linguistics as one example. 😄

Don’t suddenly start acting like it’s this huge problematic practice when it’s literally how every piece of media uses announcement trailers

You’re literally using the exact same logic here, again. We can again distill the argument and these examples as, “everyone does it so it’s not a bad thing”.

Secondly, it doesn’t have to be a “problem”, sure, but it’s not a good representation of what to expect. Nobody’s saying it’s a “huge problematic practice”. It’s just annoying. The best trailers to me are just… gameplay. Anything else would be a teaser.

Thirdly, it’s not really “suddenly”. It’s been like this for a long time and I haven’t ever liked it. It’s just the first time you’re hearing me say it.

Fourth…ly? One is allowed to feel like it is a problem, too, if that would indeed be how one felt about it. 👍

I feel like two years is standard to wait on anything these days. All my favorite shows take two or three years between seasons. It’s excruciating.

Always someone chiming in with this fallacy. “This is how everyone does it!” That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. 😕

ZSA Voyager, it’s the best keyboard I’ve ever tried and/or owned. The ergonomic comfort is amazing to me. Lots of easy but powerful customizability as well. Using the softest switches that it comes with, as well as those Shhhhock rings or whatever, for even more silence. I have the black edition.

Yikes on the Nobara experience. Will avoid. Not that I ever felt the need to explore or hop beyond Arch. Discord as the main communication channel? That screams immature project IMO.

I have the same experience as you with Arch. In probably a decade of use I’ve only reinstalled when buying new computers. It’s just so solid. I use it both for work and at home. 👌

Neat, that’s cool.

But Oracle is surely one, still.

Do you find that Arch bothers you in any way, would you say? How if so?

😁👍 Good to hear
