The amount of nitpicking and wise-assing… I need to stop posting things that go semi-viral. People have the need to prove others wrong, me included. It sucks.
@rolle I think we lost the ability to share knowledge a bit in real life. You can't ask for knowledge anymore, you'll get a snubby "look it up on the internet" thing. and I think the criticizing and know-it-all thing on the internet is a product of it. dunno, maybe I'm wrong.
I think it is about balance, quite a few forums will answer questions IF you have tried to look it up first, there is no harm is saying I would like to do this, according to the solution at X it suggests this (insert url) am I right in thinking that if I want to do Y I need to set the software up this way.
However at times, you need help just figuring out the correct search term, especially when you try and look up a problem with Debian or Ubuntu and the solution you end up with is for a old or obsolete version, even when you have tried to say this is for ubuntu 22.04 for example.
I can fully understand why people get frustrated.
