It rubs you the wrong way because you don't understand it. It is blatantly obvious, but some people do not have the ability to see it. Those who have eyes to see see it, no matter who lies. Nobody is telling anybody to shut up, just that it is obvious that there is no meritocracy, even if you cannot see that truth.

When people fear automation what they fear is a world where selfish people are no longer forced to share anything. Deep down they know that there is no history of power sharing more without mass casualties. It's not automation that is scary, it's the approaching fight.

Not true. We can see that there is no meritocracy. It's not true. No lack of nuance involved, he who has eyes to see let him see. There is nothing people are more blind to than their own advantages.

You make people do what they don't want to do by passing laws. It is all on our cowardly, selfish, incompetent lawmakers.

Takes none of those things to say the truth. I stated a fact, not that I was making a case. You are not the judge. So what your saying is I have to prove what I said was true, but he can say what he wants without challenge ? Really ?

You can use the tool until it's deprecated. Everything is constantly being "phased out".

Yeah, that's not true. They have said that Qt4 widgets are feature finished, and not being deprecated. Obviously eventually there will be little use of the older way, but they have repeatedly said they are not deprecating them. Believe what you want.

No, they are just mostly finished and aren't seeing a lot of new feature work being done ,if any. Qml is a way better way so that's what they are working on. It gets better every release, and that guy doesn't have a clue. Sorry. Just for the record, QML is awesome.

I don't know about anybody else, but in my mind I've always kind of thought of the term "haters" as short for "jealous haters".

He's a foreigner, and that's just how we roll.

Absolutely. They need outsiders to tell them how to live, they can't figure it out.They have had centuries and they need help. We have (small)children who could fix all their problems in a few minutes.

Boa-Constructor. We had that years ago but it never got popular for whatever reason, at the time it seemed spectacular. Think it's in the Debian repository.

In the US anything you can legally do for yourself, medically, is not done by the Dr. Other than research.

Not if the point is to get work done. I see a new version of Windows and my reaction is usually " oh that's nice, to bad it's MS and at some point it will be pathetic ". Because I know it's coming, it always does and it's always worse than the last thing that pissed me off. Linux Desktop is light years ahead if the point is to get stuff done and not hate your machine.
