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...

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

it should be noted that at any random point in _time_ upwards of 50 percent of the planetary inhabitants aren't wearing any undergarments (for _whatever_ reason) #StrangeButTrue

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.

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.

Why is this nonsense bickering still going on? (That's a question to answer in your own head, not an invitation to prolong it.)

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.)

Alex's joke may not be a clear joke to non-native English speakers...I had to look up what Oo-er meant myself. However, I edited my previous post; I couldn't delete it. I will cease from any more replies here.

Thanks to Zephyr who tried to help oui.

Guys, it's not worth it.

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.

9 out of 10 stand-up comedians approve of this thread
(even Steve Harvey admits to going commando on the Family Feud set)

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

The officially official Devuan Forum!
