The Y2K issue was real, but a lot of people spent a lot of effort to fix it before it became a problem. The dire warnings were exaggerated, it was never going to end the world, but the problem really did exist and it really could have led to some pretty serious issues especially with financial institutions.

If you’re the type of gamer that gets sucked into Rimworld, then Dwarf Fortress will very likely consume you.

I’ve never heard of that type of action occurring anywhere else.

There were a couple of high profile cases in Canada a while back.

• David Milgaard
• Steven Truscott

That user may be using Sync, which last time I checked only supports the reddit style spoilers.

AFAIK it ends up on the ground, and in the ground water. Which means that it could contaminate drinking water if it’s not treated properly. It will enter rivers and lakes, and snow and everywhere else that water gets.

Right, someone else does it too, so that obviously makes it OK right?

I don’t know what that is, but it feels to me like it might be a fork bomb.

Edit: Yep, fork bomb.

But the constant criticism of these new users posting in this community makes for a pretty unwelcoming community. If we want Linux’s market share to grow and become more relevant to the average user, and we really should, then we need to be a welcoming community that encourages new users. Not a community that is hostile to new users. The good news is that it seems the majority of users here aren’t complaining. But the complaint posts have been increasing it seems, and I’d personally like to see that stop.

Instead of complaining, if you don’t like a post downvote and move on.

Personally, I’m finding all of these complaining posts to be far more irritating.
