Even if it's not a strawman, the only actual problem is the FOSS person saying that some program can replicate her workflow when they don't actually know if it can. And even that is not malice or callousness, it's just someone clumsily trying to help. Everything else is her demanding support from volunteers and then getting angry when it turns out that FOSS is often a lot harder to use than proprietary software. If the FOSS person instead said "Sorry, I'm not interested in troubleshooting that for you", I guarantee that that would be seen as a problem. So essentially what she's saying is fuck FOSS users because they don't provide perfect support for free.

"Talk to any FOSS acolyte about something and the conversation will often go like this:

You: I'm having a problem with [proprietary software], I'm really frustrated.

Them: scoffs I don't have that problem because I use a custom rom dinglebop shitfuck linux distro that allows me to [technical jargon that you don't know or care about]

You: uhm, okay. Could you give me a recommendation that'll allow me to replicate my workflow in [proprietary program] ?

Them: Uhm yeah (sends you a program that is incredibly hard to set up and cannot replicate your workflow at all)

You: I don't really understand how this works? Them: okay well post in the discord

You: posts in discord Uhm people were just really rude to me and told me to just read the forums.... I watched some tutorials but they're all like 2 hours long and this is a lot of information."

The author doesn't come off well at all here, and that's while they're talking to a strawman. They sound like an entitled child.

I know that it strikes most people as faintly ridiculous if not outright dangerous to talk about anti-white-male sentiment, but can we at least stop kowtowing to it? Like, sure, "first-world problems", I get it. But there is constant vitriol spewing from certain (for lack of a better phrase) intellectual cliques, and it's gotten tiresome.

Lawyers won't allow themselves to be replaced even if it makes sense to do so.

Every file that I've looked at (a dozen or so) is very heavily redacted. This is a joke.

They weren't actually released. They're like 90%+ redacted. This is a slap in the face.

The other person who replied to you noted that this is not true in British English, but beyond that, it appears to me that my generation (Millennials) essentially all came to the same conclusion, which is that punctuation should only be included in the quotation if it's literally part of the text being quoted. (This probably has something to do with the programming mindset.) If you write

>The senator said that the bill was "bloated."

your sentence itself doesn't have a period. In order to give it a period you'd have to write:

>The senator said that the bill was "bloated.".

But then you're saying that the senator described the bill using the (non-)word consisting of the nine characters 'b', 'l', 'o', 'a', 't', 'e', 'd', 'PERIOD'. We've decided that this doesn't make sense.
