My favorite thing in the world is when the top search result on Google leads to a post from someone telling me to use Google.

Lol I once searched for a specific issue I had.

I found a Github issue for the exact same bug. Perfect!

It had only one reply. "This has already been answered here. Search the other issues for the answer."

It was the second issue ever for the repo. The first issue was entirely irrelevant. The half a dozen other issues that came after also were irrelevant.

Classic

Thats often true though.

In Linux community stuff at the beginning I was really annoying. You need to learn to search the internet first. Lemmy may be different because its free internet (unlike Reddit or Stack*) so duplicate questions may help.

Especially in the GrapheneOS Discuss there are people asking the most basic questions, not getting that its Android and those things are the same anywhere.

Then why don't you look it up for them? They may be lazy or they may not know what to look for

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I like to give them the keywords. But why should I be the working monkey for lazy people that makes no sense

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

Because they may just not know the answer. It will take just a minute to make someone's day

Or alternatively, if someone asks a question that you don't want to answer, don't post a reply. Just like you (general "you", not the user I'm replying to) don't give a shit, they don't give a shit that you don't give a shit.

This tends to be my issue. When things are brand new to you, you may not even know what to begin searching for.

Even a link can help point someone in the right direction.
