I can't believe you closed the Joke thread.

GlennW · 2025-02-27 22:33:40

I actually can believe it because I saw it with my own eyes.

What is wrong with the bean counters in this organisation?

We can't force people to write technical posts continuously which may make the bean counters proud.

This latest move looks fasicist, an overreach of a control fantasy.

I for one, am very disappointed.

golinux · 2025-02-27 22:52:59

@ GlennW . . . Good grief . . . Your imagination is in overdrive and your insulting, hair-trigger response shows exactly who and what you are. Did you not read this post?

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=54658#p54658

Or did you just see that it was closed and lose it WITHOUT READING the FINAL POST?

GlennW · 2025-02-27 23:58:26

I think your previous comments in that thread prove your disdain for freedom. You comment over and over your dislike of resource usage.
Said once is a comment, repeated (edited for spelling) over and over is bullying.
I hope you come up with some content that will keep people browsing the threads.
If someone like me does not say what I feel, you will only have the voice in your head confirming you are right and everybody else is ... wrong.

@golinux

re: the joke thread

You said to me "Take charge of your own addiction! Closing this would not be fair to other Devuan users."

Maybe it's time for "you" to take a break? Just sayin'.

As a preemptive strike, how do I delete my account. TIA.

golinux · 2025-02-28 00:29:24

@GlennW . . . My previous comments prove only what YOUR mind imagines and you keep digging the hole deeper.

License is not freedom and "feelings" are the most unreliable metric of all.

I am merely an observer of human behavior while you choose to be judge, jury and executioner. It is rather amusing to wind you up!

Rage quit in protest? Really? How old are you?
And FYI, accounts can not be deleted.

The above responses to my little "challenge" are showing in living color just why the world is in the mess that's it's in. Let it be a teaching moment.

@moulder61

I find the easiest way to do it is go into your browsers password and login store delete the site there, logout of site then remove any bookmark you may have set. Do the password and login delete in any password manager you may use as well. This works perfectly fine to never use it again, though some do have a delete the account in their user settings as well. I just used the first procedure just early this week, when I was told to censor my posts for calling systemd the piece of garbage it is or the mods would/could do it for me. I told them to stick the account and their forum where the sun does not shine and did the procedure, they did not have delete option.

Actually, there's no rage involved. I have a lot of free time and energy to devote to this but you're not worth the effort. I am trying to save you from yourself. Thank me later.
Since when was age an indication of intelligence? How old are you? Don't answer that, I know how old. I fell asleep trying to count up to it once.

And FYI, accounts can not be deleted.

Pity.

You said to GlennW:

Not a waste of resources there then?

moulder61 · 2025-02-28 00:58:48

@RedGreen925

Thanks for your suggestions. I wanted to delete the account to stop me being tempted to continue arguing with pettiness personified.
Maybe if I really say what I think I'll get deleted?

Moulder.

golinux · 2025-02-28 01:09:59

Think of this thread as something like a Rorschach test. I must say the results are proving to be quite amusing . . .

zapper · 2025-02-28 02:26:58

@golinux Rorschach test? EDIT:

o that's what that is called, the same thing as an ink blot test.

Never knew it had another more specific name

Also, that thread got old like less than halfway to what it is now. So.. I will say I am on your side for this.

Don't blame you at all.

Oh zapper . . . I'm guessing you didn't read this post:

There are no sides. Temporarily closing that thread is an experiment to see what the response would be and I must say that it has been quite amusing and predictable so far. Humans never seem to learn . . .

Camtaf · 2025-02-28 09:20:07

No loss to the forum, which is actually for info & questions relating to Devuan.

I only once looked in to see what it was about when it first appeared, never been back to it.....but was just curious about this thread....

If you were to ask me (which you did not) I'd say it can stay that way.

Yes, same here.
Just once.

I get my dose of humour here.

As always, YMMV.

Best,

@golinux well did you enjoy the responses?

All you said was "time for a break..."

To me, the joke thread was always "Meh." I never even looked at it.

golinux · 2025-03-01 16:16:08

Experiment completed.

stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn · 2025-03-01 19:31:33

even got a stir from @ComputerBob!

ComputerBob · 2025-03-02 17:34:40

I'm here almost every day, trying to keep up with important stuff. I almost always quietly lurk in the spaces between the lines!

My best to everyone. You guys (gals) are great. That's why I'm still here.

blackhole · 2025-03-03 09:22:20

I had no idea that the Devuan forum was a social experiment, staged solely for the amusement of the administration. Learn something new every day...

golinux · 2025-03-03 15:05:09

@blackhole - As usual, you missed the point. It was intended to be a teaching moment for those rushing to hair-trigger judgments and resorting to abuse. It proved once again that we see the world as we ourselves are and not as it is. The amusement was the icing on the cake.

blackhole · 2025-03-03 18:33:13

Oh no, I haven't missed any points: Much drama about nothing at all. I just watch through the glass/bars. The only point I'm missing, is why the point needed proving. Your joke in the thread was enough.

golinux · 2025-03-03 18:44:29

What is drama for you is merely an investigation of human predictability (and stupidity) for me. A cat will always swipe at a dangling, bouncy toy. It just can't resist.

ralph.ronnquist · 2025-03-03 22:39:47

Friends, there are thoughts at many levels and many perspectives.
Let's close this thread.

The officially official Devuan Forum!
