Two groups of people went to war over a difference of opinion.

1. New! Different! Change! Bad!

‘Change resistance’ was the standard gaslighting. No one said ‘different bad’, in a time when enterprise linux had just switched from sysVinit to upStart. What they said was “this is built bad and wants to do too much, poorly. We don’t like this.”

And the response was “you’re old, you hate change,” and similar fallacies.

2. Hey, this works better than the old way. Let’s use this instead.

I think you mean “I don’t know how to do this in the normal way, so I’ll try this other thing.”

Without someone mumbling into a buzzing mic, I don’t believe its authenticity.

Now we don’t.

Not a word, my dude.

So all testing will be done on humans. Got it. (No animal testing means no testing, meaning the first application are humans, and thus you are the testers. Yay!)

Pick a lane, Doug.

Bad incidents with dogs and cats? 0

Bad incidents with belligerent cyclists: 2

One group appears to be more civilized.

Lol wat… Police is the occupation force of the owner class used against peasants and to protect property of the owners.

Ooooh, so edgy. Homeroom over yet?

The army assumes everyone is armed, where in America … Nevermind.

saves you a negligible amount of time but puts others in disproportionate danger.

So… Win-win?

a dip in violence and breeches

Who dipped their breeches? Cheeky bums !

Dude, that’s vanilla bash.

You’re gonna love once you start

1. tagging your ffmpeg commands like do a thing # dothingname

2. Just !?dothingname later to recall it and run it.

Its a little easier to NOT accidentally !?alt and discover halt is matched first.

It was publicized as part of readline, I think.

…in like 1989.
