Hi, i'm here because I was told there would be pudding?

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?! ;-)  (apologies to Pink Floyd)

I was also confused by that.   Debian has a social contract.   Devuan has the (almost) no Code of Conduct.  Is the poster referring to the Debian or the Devuan document.  And what in whichever document does not fit their "personal needs"?

I'm still trying to figure out why they even posted in this thread. it seemed to come out of nowhere, hinting at some ill-defined grievances. Very cryptic and weird to me - I'm just a simple follower of Devuan. For that matter, the OP was a bit confusing to me, but then, I am easily confused. Whatever - I wish everyone peace!

I have read your postings in this thread, and I still don't have any idea what your problem with Devuan actually is, or why you're posting in this thread. Can you enlighten me? It's quite possible that I missed something.

I don't want to be one of the "bad guys" on the internet any more. I want to get excited about Miyo, feel good about reclaiming a drive, spend my time learning how to do what I want to do, and stop messing up your forum (and, I am grateful to all of you for pointing this out to me) every other flippin' peer support forum on the internet that I have ever loved like family.

I'm a bad guy. I'm a troll. I'm a drama queen/king/unicorn/brony/pervert. I can accept that now and do something about it. I wanted to express my appreciation to you for that and I blew it yet again.

Does this make any sense?

I also unintentionally lied to you. I promised to be the succinct but detached and occaisional poster who wrote a single word.

I am, for whatever reasons that are not your faults, unable to be who I want to be at the present time.

Please accept my sincere apology for my lack of social and language skills, cynwulf, and can we please both just killfile and move on? I don't need to be your friend and I don't want to be your enemy or yet another nuisance you have to deal with.

Miyo, we can continue this discussion on social media where it belongs. I have no idea which one of my "new friends" in the "acquaintance" aspect of which one of my pods you are, but you obviously do and that's good enough for me.

The username had nothing to do with modern Greece or politics at all. I just like the classics and I'm fascinated by languages in general but fluent in absolutely none.

Onward and upward!!! Veni, vici, MIYO!!!!!!!!!!

(fanboi coming soon to an appropriate social media fictionalized funny wannabe standup comedy laughing-at-myself-and-the-world character near you.)

golinux, you can just go ahead and "ban" me if you want and it's no big deal at all.

Why on earth would I do that?  I hope that your continuing Linux adventures are more successful than it seems your encounter with Devuan was.  I guess we'll never know what your issues/problems were that might make you decide to remove it and reclaim your HDD . . .

I salute you! Thank you for all that you did...your support of MiyoLinux was more than I could have hoped for. I will see you around elsewhere...whether openly or in the void. Take care my friend.

I absolutely hate systemd but, sadly,  lack the technical knowledge or social skills to run Devuan. I also like the social contract which states, quite simply and objectively, why the goals of this project do not fit my personal needs.

I wish you all well, certainly can understand burn-out and other interpersonal issues I may or may not bumble across, and will continue to lurk, check in, think about you, and wish you well as I continue my journey to learn as much as I can as well as I can without hurting other people.

This isn't a flounce because I'm not going anywhere, I'm just not comfortable asking questions and therefore am eventually going to have to take my Devuan installs offline or reclaim the drives and install something else.

It isn't a judgement or a suggestion or a complaint either. I have no complaints. I'm grateful for you, sad for any pain or inconvenience I might have accidentally caused you, and so glad I got to enjoy Devuan for as long as I did.

If I am right about systemd, I will eventually be grateful that i DON'T know how to avoid using it because I will darned well figure out how to never use the internet and possibly even my beloved little pre-2008 Thinkpads ever again no matter how big of a fool I have to make of myself.

This wasn't the post I wanted to make when I opened my account but it is the post I need to make now. It's not you, it's me; we can't go on this way any longer but can we still be friends?

golinux, you can just go ahead and "ban" me if you want and it's no big deal at all. Maybe I'll see you around the internet or maybe I already know you in a more appropriate venue for this kind of "message in a bottle" drivel already.

You should start new topics on appropriate sections for technical matters so other people can locate questions and answers easier as a reference.  If you do a search for D1h chances are that on an off-topic with getting to know you as a title there will not be any relevant information.

Otherwise poor golinux has to go around all day cutting and pasting posts to threads.

This is true.  I've been debating what to do with the ramblings in this topic . . . I really don't have time to sort this mess.  I will leave it to the individuals in this thread to self-moderate by moving technical content to more appropriate topics and then deleting the posts here.
