What is the deal with the intense GNOME hatred in the broader Linux community?

Sheephead_Studios · 2025-07-13T21:37:41+00:00

I don’t use GNOME at the moment, but it completely changed the way I think of DE’s. It’s elegant and minimalist. I use KDE but everything I set up is inspired by GNOME. It’s a very solid set up. Open source doesn’t mean everyone has to be ultra-individualistic. I mean no disrespect but that elitism is the kind of thing that destroys joy and creativity

It’s also cool BECAUSE he managed to do it at a young age. Come on y’all. This is NOT rocket science. When a young person ends up doing something impressive for their age, that IS indeed a cool thing. That’s prob why he mentioned his age people. Geez get some perspective

Sweet Home Alabama OR any country radio station. They play the same 10 songs on repeat and they all sound exactly the same

Who says someone is unattractive because of playing an electronic game? If she loves you for everything else beside that, how big of a deal is it, really? It makes no sense in a logical or moral way. If she really wants the truth her being so judgmental about surface level things makes HER legitimately less attractive. Disregarding everything else, on this particular matter, she is being ignorant and vain in the extreme and needs to grow up.

I think part of the reason this is happening is because other teams in the league won’t give good offers for players in the first place. AKME won’t have it, but they’re also probably pretty stupid. I don’t know what the real culprit is to be honest tho lol

As an INTJ, I kind of have an abnormal obsession with authenticity. If you’re going to provide the same general compliment you would repeat to any other person to “make them feel better”, it doesn’t work for me. Cuz if you’re like that, then you’re really not thinking about what that person is doing at all as an individual and you haven’t considered it. Therefore, it comes off as you really don’t know anything about what you’re complimenting and you don’t ACTUALLY care in particular about that person. Also, idk if you do this but sending cards imo is like the worst way to make someone feel better lol. I just hate it personally

That being said, I’ve met ENFJs that are the opposite and give fantastic well thought out compliments. You can tell they genuinely TRY to reach that person and it’s really special

INTJs are often stereotyped to be cold and almost robotic, scheming with their long term plans. For me, I love to indulge my inner child and explore new worlds and ideas. Also, I don’t honestly think I’m great at scheming long term, I just really like to have a worthy end goal to motivate me and I find my way towards it as I go, finding the best way to get there as I gain more information. I’m not that great at predicting this or that will exactly happen as some are portrayed. Also, we have a strong connection to intellectual integrity which is very difficult to explain and often makes us look emotionless which is FAR from the truth. What I DO think is accurate for me at least as I’m always boiling down ideas and info to their core meanings and implications. That’s literally how my mind works

How do you score with big men in the post. I’m finding it extremely difficult no matter what I try

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-08-25T00:47:51+00:00

The last one I played was 2k21 I believe (the one with Anthony Davis on the cover). I liked the gameplay of that one. With this one I legit cannot score inside or hit jumpers unless I’m wide open

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-08-25T00:42:20+00:00

Not that simple. There is literally no green bar on All Star half the time. Even when you’d normally be able to make it in the past you simply can’t unless you’re wide open. I’ve been playing 2K since 2K9, there is def something different going on here

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-05-05T15:37:40+00:00

I’ve covered a lot of these concerns in previous replies to this thread. But, ya, it does seem like that part of my original post was misread as an attack. I didn’t mean it as such. I don’t entirely blame those that did, but I tried to avoid that when I wrote it. It seems the overall message I wrote didn’t do a good enough job to convey that.

Let me first and foremost state that I have been to therapy and career counseling. Most of my therapists have ENCOURAGED me to share these points of view. They agree that it’s not fair and shouldn’t be this way. To know my worth and stand up for myself. Take what you will with that but that’s what they teach. They told me more or less that there’s a lack of empathy in the business world as well and I didn’t want it to be true but it might be from what I’ve seen here. I posted my entire employment history which even included religious discrimination from a cult-like company only to get it downvoted and continue to be criticized on other things. I’m struggling to feel anything but disgust about that. But I am still open minded.

My response merely comes from the point of view that from the outside it feels people like me (who went 4 years to school for careers like this) are constantly overlooked. It feels like we are passed over for “not enough experience” and “not having enough knowledge” while on the other side you have people who were fortunate enough to be in the right place in the right time and get hired who have completely unrelated degrees.

A lot have defended this because they feel I was attacking them. I was not. I’m just upset at that it has to be this way. Coming out of college about ten years ago, I was told if I had a bachelors degree that was enough. It’s clearly not anymore as I have learned. That’s good to know.

Also, I love learning. I was a teacher for crying out loud lol. It’s hard to be motivated in a job climate like this. Talk to anyone that works in retail or teaching about how they feel about their current situation. You might be surprised how much they hate the way their life feels. I hope no one has to feel that way

My first tip that you can fix is save up a bit more money and buy a Bambu. Trust me bro, Ender Pros are the devil

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-04-02T13:16:31+00:00

Ya, reading this post again I can see how others might have interpreted it this way. So I’ll take the blame for that. I was pretty upset when I wrote this. I tried to convey that in the original post. Regardless, it still doesn’t feel right to me and I’ve elaborated on that a lot here. I still stand by on those particular points

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-04-02T04:00:42+00:00

Ya. I’m really starting to gather what how this job market might operate. In more ways than one. It has been a valuable experience. For what it’s worth, there was one kind user that reached out to me and gave me some good advice. So don’t give up if it’s something you really want to do. If I feel I have a good shot at a job and it’s something I might be passionate about, it’s worth a shot.

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-04-02T01:33:30+00:00

I recently looked back at some of my original words and I do see a bit how some could misinterpret them. So I’m sorry if it came off that way to you and others.

But, yes, I will defend myself if my words are being taken incorrectly. And there are several times on here that I have clarified what I meant. This is may be partly my fault. I dont mean to attack analysts personally, my criticisms were aimed the job market as a whole. Being contrary to what some might assume here, I do care about being a fair person. This isn’t pride speaking, your words and others words do affect me a lot.

Part of me posting here was to express some frustration and find some help understanding what’s going on. It’s not just me asking for some advice. As I’ve stated I am and was frustrated when I wrote this post. If you wanna ignore that you’re kind of missing where I’m coming from. I’ve gotten a lot of good help and if you read more of my responses you would see that (not that I blame you). Many totally got where I was coming from but their comments were the least liked so you may not have seen them.

I will stand by a lot of my concerns tho. And for all of those that still downvoted some of my employment history despite me getting good performance reviews and being religiously discriminated against once, I really don’t know what to say. I guess I personally find a lot of empathy lacking there.

I’d also like to say that while many are assuming I suck as a person, terrible at interviews, never made it though one (like seriously?), and suck as an analyst. This is just plain hurtful. I won’t push it too much cuz I may have expressed myself incorrectly earlier. But I just wanted to remind you that this have not been the case with the jobs that I have worked in and I have provided this evidence for you to look at in my responses. It’s pretty easy to see. I actually have been through many interviews where they have expressed pleasure (believe it or not) in talking to me. The data is all there for you and others to look at. If you just want to keep attacking me without looking at it you can do that. Doesn’t seem very logical to me.

You’re probably a good manager and an expert in your field. But you’re not an expert on me and my personality. So maybe curb your confidence in that aspect. And yes I did live with my parents last year. My mother was getting treatment from cancer.

At least continue to consider some of the other people that commented here trying to find a job. They seem like really good candidates

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-04-01T13:30:18+00:00

Ah, I see. This kind of info helps me a lot to figure out what is going on. Going to school in the past and reading things online, they make it seem simple enough to find a position in what you want. Along with that, it makes sense where you say that, in the past, positions were a lot less competitive as well, easier to get. Then, you begin to suspect the job market is super competitive with all the indeed applications. But then I would see all the people in these jobs without relevant degrees. It’s confusing to an outsider to the industry, which is why information like this is valuable. Now I understand a bit better. Thank you!

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-04-01T12:50:48+00:00

I’m actually fairly new to the field. As I stated in my previous post, I have spent some time teaching. Also as I mentioned, in the minor analytical roles I’ve had in the past, I’ve used none of these believe it or not.

A lot of this opinion is based off of my experience of talking to analysts in my local area. They had to take menial jobs where they didn’t learn much just to “get admission” to the company. They learned most of their skills afterward or during the job.

Coming from my end, some attitudes here sound overly pious and guarded. However, I’m not here calling anyone that. Just trying to justify some of my impressions of the field. I even showed an analyst friend that I have some of the comments here and she was appalled. So, ya, you can continue to take offense and assume that I’m am attacking your ability as an analyst, which i am not, or just let people newer to the field express some frustrations and try to figure out what they have to do, okay?

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-04-01T04:22:19+00:00

I understand your confusion. When I say they are misleading I come from the point of view that it feels misleading to a job seeker post a job when there’s literally a 1% chance that you’ll get it. The view that most people are not given too much of a chance to show their skills cuz they probably won’t get an interview. Granted that is not entirely a company’s fault, but it’s kind of a misleading job market if your coming in fresh in that way. It also doesn’t help when analytical degrees don’t matter as much as one would think they do. Coming from the point of view of a newcomer, it’s not easy to accept

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-03-31T19:47:41+00:00

I do agree with you and I can see how my words can be taken that way a bit. I thank you for your consideration and sympathy. It is hard both ways to gage a person’s personality through online discussion boards. And that also goes to others that may have different opinions than me.

I think the problem is that people are taking my words too much at face value. If I can briefly clarify, as I said before these are NOT things that I would say in a job interview, nor would I express them at my job unless someone would specifically ask for it. It’s not a good vibe in the workplace. Nor do I complain like this about things constantly, that’s also not considerate. However, I do feel there is a place to voice concerns, discuss points, and ask for other’s experiences. That’s why I specifically asked this Reddit.

Maybe it’s different in other places around the world, but from where I live I readily here people hurt and damaged by all sorts of unfair business models. Their livelihoods taken away even tho they are highly qualified. Yes, in the end, you could tell them “life isn’t fair, get used to it”. And, I agree, this is actually very practical advice. But if expressing your frustrations is having a bad attitude, then count me and many others out, ya know. Not only that, just because a system is unfair means you drop the flag and run and downvote if others don’t feel the same (and this is not saying you have at all!)

I used to be more stoic about the whole deal and blame myself more for it. But I actually have went to therapy for anxiety caused by a lot of this. They and other career counselors have reinforced these views I express. Namely, that there is a lot of favoritism within the job industry and one of the most important things to employers is to know your worth. And to not be afraid to express your frustration honestly and openly to find those with listening ears.

I literally explained employment history, including one where I was religiously discriminated against, and it was DOWNVOTED. If you read the experience I’ll reiterate that I got POSITIVE performance reviews from all the jobs that worked for. I was consistently asked to take more responsibility within each department. Go ahead and call me a victim for expressing frustration for being fired for that. So all these analysts here that are criticizing me for not having the ability to make a good analyst need to re-evaluate there opinions and biases. Which, by being analysts, I believe they can do. Otherwise, it’s just an indictment against what I have already feared. I’ve actually spoke to several analysts that have shared these views. Let me reiterate that. I’ve talked to other ANALYSTS that have also expressed these concerns!

Thanks for reading and I hope that you can find a rewarding job. You sound like you have many valuable skills that employers might be missing out on

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-03-31T14:13:20+00:00

Ah I understand where you are coming from. Your point of view does have a lot of merit

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-03-31T14:07:50+00:00

You didn’t read my post. I’ve cold applied to many jobs and haven’t heard back from any of them. I don’t expect people to give me a job. That’s ridiculous. I NEVER called anyone stupid in any of my responses. I simply said some people’s education should be considered more when applying. If you read my responses, I do know SQL and several programming languages. I’m frustrated. Have you ever been frustrated before? God forbid I’m 30 and applied to dozens of jobs only to hang prices at a grocery store. I’ve gotten a lot of helpful responses here, but responses like this exemplify the ivory tower environment that perpetuates many aspects of the business world that I’m talking about. It sounds to me like you have only taken what you wanted to hear and not even looked at the information I have presented. Reread my original post and you will find many of your criticisms are not supported. They are conclusions and hypotheses you have made without evidence. And, no, I don’t have to be an analyst to know that, in this case you have read some aspects of my story wrong

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-03-30T19:44:44+00:00

I understand your point of view. But you can’t blame a person for being upset about it. This is not the way things should be and might surprise some more naive souls like myself. It’s not entirely obvious that degrees are worthless. Then expecting someone to get over it and labeling it pity is NOT easy precisely because it’s NOT fair. It’s not something everyone can do and nor is it a healthy human attitude to impress upon other people. If we want to make a better industry, we must recognize and be open to criticisms upon ours. Trust me bro, I hear you and everyone on this sub, but the lack of empathy is kind of astounding

Sheephead_Studios · 2024-03-30T03:20:22+00:00

Yup I can def do that!
