Thankfully, bazzite is both, the community has gotten rather large lately so support has been good.

Gonna be very blunt here, if you mean to say that that comment is "authoritatively and confidently" saying that is misinformation to "undermine another person's comment" I have to tell you are in a very small minority that interpret that comment that way. Most people whom OP is intending to reach would read that comment as having one claim, one anecdote, and one explanation.

The claim is "macos is stable", the anecdote is "months of uptime" and the explanation is "powered by UNIX". And as the main question here is whether the explanation (which I will say is presented as a fact) is said in a manner that represents authoritative blind fanboyism or a casual statement. To preface, I think it's very clear based on my past interactions as well the upvote downvote spread that it is a casual, but factually incorrect statement. OP has experienced months of uptime and stability and attributes this to macos being UNIX under the hood.

While this is a wrong assertation, shaming is the incorrect response if the goal is to correct this misinformation. Shaming does very little to change minds and often leads to people doubling down. You will have no success with this approach. You must inform positively and confidently. Approach them from a perspective, "oh they just don't know, let me help them." Rather than "oh here comes the fanboy again, need to shame this guy". The first approach has had success time and time again and builds community. I assure OP did not seek to undermine the above comment nor did they post misinformation out of blind fanboyism they merely lack knowledge and that's how nearly everyone else in this comment chain read it.

I think just in general you may have an issue with taking things at face value and being blunt, which is not an uncommon issue. I experience this problem myself and my siblings have it worse than me though we worked past it by just learning more about language and talking to people about what they really mean when they say things. Do you happen to be neurodivergent? That's the case for us anyway.

I would like to inform you why your comment's tone was problematic cause most of the issues are not word choice, it's structuring. Your comment intention may have been to be amiable, but to average person your comment reads as snarky and with an air of superiority. This is mainly because the comment it is replying to does not present a view with strong conviction or to argue, they stated something and happened to reveal another belief. They talk about their uptime with macos and happen to reveal they think macos is UNIX.

If you had say said "Oh you probably shouldn't say macos is UNIX and here's why" and then proceeded to give explicit reasons and then ended the comment, it would have ended there with many upvotes. It's the presence of the "Well, um ashkuallyyyy..." structure in your comment along with the "That's not how this works pal" that makes it rude. It's like you're shaming them for not knowing instead of seeking to inform, it's not your usage of the word pal, it's the argumentative negative stance. You could have ended with "I hope that helped you learn more pal!" And everything would have been fine. Positive vs negative. Structure matters. Anyway I hope that helped you learn more pal!

I generally speaking like most of the other things you say on lemmy, so I’m just gonna agree to disagree and move on. Have a nice day

GNOME catching a devious stray there for no reason

I really hope you guys succeed, I plan to make a small donation when I have extra to give.

I think there’s a pretty big thing here that people are kinda missing and it’s the ease of app creation. Recently gnome has done a lot for app developers to make the experience really good. Workbench, gnome builder, biblioteca all combined with the ease of libadwaita and the gnome circle make app development significantly easier for gtk than qt. There’s a big community now with a lot of inertia. I think workbench has around 100 tutorials now or so. Super low barrier to entry. Also libadwaita is pretty.

I already use gnome now, but even before I had settled on a DE, I took a look at both ecosystems and was heavily leaning towards gtk because of all these factors and against qt because of its reliance on c++. Until all of those factors are replicated well for qt (and by extension kde), I don’t think they’ll see the same level of development.

OP in the tweet is trans.

It gets worse, because that’s what people use to justify the argument that people being evil is a part of human nature. Because they genuinely believe that being evil is the default state of humans despite centuries of evidence otherwise.

You kinda left out the next line in which he says

But it was my responsibility

That’s the whole statement and tbh I agree. It’s never anyone’s fault for being a bad person, but it is 100% their responsibility to right their wrongs.

Definitely agree with that, I very much so still downvote bigoted comments and posts though I think I’ve only encountered two comments like that so far. Lemmy mods and admins are doing a great job.
