Obviously I didn't mean literally screaming, you just said that you hoped that someone responsible would notice, I only commented that maybe that same effort would be better directed straight into the eyeballs of the people who are doing this.
You are of course free to write your criticism anywhere and in any way you choose.
I sometimes take a moment to point out the obvious flaws in pieces such as this one due to a vain hope that someone responsible for reporting on things involving numbers will one day see such complaints and be inspired to do better.
If you are going to complain about it, why not send the complaint to the people who are writing this stuff? You already wrote the comment, copy paste that to the feedback box. That way theres a 1% chance that someone reads it and learns from it. Just writing on Lemmy theres a 0.00001% chance for that.
But like you said, to each their own, I guess. If screaming to the void makes you feel better, go for it.
I'll second what /u/unexposedhazard said. Switch anyway. I kept Ubuntu for a long time because I thought it was the easy option.. Changed to Debian at the beginning of the year and my god its so much better and not at all more difficult than Ubuntu.
Luckily it seems to be making Europe and Canada stronger as well. Putin can weaken the US all he wants, but as long as Europe and Canada are not just standing around with their hands in their pockets, doing nothing, it wont benefit russia too much.
People really don't know when its appropriate to joke around. I guess the [serious] tag thing, that is (was?) in use in /r/askreddit should be thing here as well.
Yeah I didn't mean to say that its been that bad forever. Its gotten worse in the last 10-15 years. But it started ages ago, back in the ancient times. I remember my 1987 Volkswagen had a buzzer if I had lights on when the ignition was off. That was a good thing to have tbh, especially back then. But now you get a warning bong just because you have a kilogram of apples on the back seat.
I used spite, self discipline and being angry at everything, including the tobacco manufacturers and the government raising taxes on it.
I quit cold turkey. I was alone for a few days, just sat at home being all huffy and puffy and then I got over myself.
I think the self discipline is the most important one. Just get a hold of yourself and do it, stop being a wuss about it.
