Maybe they’re just a fan of death?
…Or maybe they mean threatening death itself— As in, like “Stop killing my friends, Death, that’s really not cool, and I’m going to start stealing your Death-beers from your Death-fridge if you don’t stop”.
…There’s probably an ecological definition for “community” that you could try to transfer over… I think in cases where a large group of individuals don’t actually interact with all of each other either directly or indirectly, but are nonetheless relevant as a grouping because they share a particularly contextually prominent set of traits (E.G. “Plays Video Games”), then “population” might be a more appropriate term (if a bit sterile).
Aligning power over systems with stackholders impacted by those systems is usually good for avoiding hostile incentives which result in hurting people, yes. Plus to some it might axiomatically be morally good.
That just redirects to thread 16j21jg. They’re generating opaque unique IDs so they can track permalinks now?
Oh. Funny. I was actually wondering when I posted this if anyone would take me seriously— Though I was imagining my abusers pretending to take it seriously in bad faith in order to hurt my credibility, and then how I would then have to explain myself to well-meaning people who might just be less familiar with the Linux-side systems I mentioned.
I was joking. Saying cmd.exe uses WSL→X11→xdotool→GUI to operate is a bit like saying “Every Toyota is secretly powered by a tiny little Honda with a tiny little man driving on a treadmill that’s connected to the wheels under the hood”. (xdotool is basically just a keyboard and mouse macro thing— So maybe you can imagine how silly it would be if you typed in cd or ls/dir or whatever and it just took over control of your mouse and clicked on the “File Explorer” from the “Start Menu”.) It would be such an absurd and Frankensteinian design that I find the thought of it intrinsically funny.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Fun fact: Every Windows command line command actually just spams xdotool through the X11 server on WSL in order to do the equivalent action through the Windows GUI.
Sympathize with their plight if you find doing so worthwhile, but also recognize their response isn’t helping.
