as an aside, why are mericans so uptight...twisted knickers et al.

Do you really think that a Linux user with 7 years of experience on the forum, who, according to him, i testing and building distributions, needs help in finding a program for connecting WiFi?

Here the matter is different.
All of us, especially the elderly, lack communication.
You look, the answer to specific advice  with the help of a half-page biography with a mention of the yoga room and other details.

The Devuan forum is very tolerant; others would have been banned a long time ago.
And he treats such posts better with humor, without wasting his time on empty work.

And “to talk,” it’s probably better to post chronicles of your life in the off-talk section.

With respect to everyone.

Thanks to Zephyr who tried to help oui.

Alex's joke is clearly just that: a joke. It is not an attempt to humiliate anyone. (And if it was such an attempt, there are better ways to deal with that.)

Yes, it's off-topic noise, but they are neither alone in making such posts, nor the worst offender.

If there was a problem, Oui is capable of standing up for themselves and/or reporting it themselves.

(I wouldn't be surprised if the only problem Oui had was annoyance at two thirds of the posts in this thread being completely off-topic.)

What I don't understand is your sense (or need) to try and humiliate someone asking for help nor to make them the laughing stock of your thought process.

Ah! Now I understand some of the differences between us:-

• USA: Uses humor to humiliate other people

• UK: Uses humour to highlight some of the absurdities of being alive

OK, got it.

I sure am glad that I am me & not you.

At a quick guess you are American & do not understand English humour, so I will give you a pass on that.

1. No, I understand British humor humour.
2. It doesn't matter what nationality I am.
3. I don't need a pass from you.

What I don't understand is your sense (or need) to try and humiliate someone asking for help nor to make them the laughing stock of your thought process.

If you want to try and be humorous, then (at least) include a smiling face or something to show that you are joking. oui is asking for help...not to be demeaned or laughed at.

It just m...i...g...h...t help people (like oui; et al) who aren't British know that you are joking around instead of being a jerk.

What, you mean that you don't wear any underpants when you launch it? Oo-er.

Good grief. Really???

My man, can't you tell from reading oui's posts that English isn't his first language? Have a little give man...

How to start it commando line in the monitor?
