I'm a bit confused, it's a beta, right?

Why are people annoyed that the game runs like an unfinished game?

It is!

I am not a car person.

It is unconcievable to me that you can identify the brand of a car from such a partial picture.

Heh, now the parralel in my mind is developpers that put in microtransactions or force a subsribtion model with no option to buy.

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:

I'd wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.

Inversely, most people don't need even have a turbo in their car and many don't even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.

That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they're probably skilled in something else!

I'm saying that as an IT person that's aware that I'm making money mostly because people don't bother to learn all this, so in the end I don't mind that much.

As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:

Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.

The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.


It's a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.

Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that's what this is.

I know what you're saying, but sometimes it is just the vocabulary.

I remember a conversation with an older woman remembering fondly going dancing with her gay friends.

The words she were using would be considered slurs today (even if a bit dated) but they were not meant maliciously.

It's easy to assume bad intentions, but it does happen that it's just someone that's not informed of the current "correct" vocabulary, and that's okay as long as it's addressed.

Being rich doesn't mean your life doesn't suck, just that you don't have money problems.

That's too broad a claim for me to agree.

In this specific event, adjusting for inflation on older movies might show that there was precedent where a movie directed by a single woman was more successful than this one.

If that happen, that achievement should also be celebrated. If that didn't happen, this movie should be even more celebrated.

Asking for more data isn't the same thing as attacking a claim.

Maybe I'm just naive, but I like to assume good intentions.

If someone actually say something sexist, calling them out is important. But I don't think assuming sexism first is a good thing either.

DDoS are sometimes just people thinking "because I can", not necessarily motivated by profit.

A smallish scale service like a lemmy server ran by volunteers seems like an easy target, so it wouldn't be surprising that being the case.
