And a lot of desktop distros know how to suggest installation so if I type ip addr it might say do you want to "apt install iproute2"? or dnf or whatever I need to make it work regardless of distro.

But if I’m trying to use a GUI it’s harder to figure out how to make a GUI tool appear. What’s it’s package name on this distro? Should I be using Flatpak and if so where’s that? Etc. And this lack of assistance isn’t (just) bad design because I don’t know how you’d design a GUI where I can go “I want the NetworkInspector tool” and it just does the right thing.

Well-earned by Mamdani, but also I hope it’s the last anyone has to see of Cuomo.

You didn’t address your misuse of “girl” which I pointed out. Now you’ve used “moron”, “imbecile” and “mentally deficient” all of which are (outdated) psychology diagnoses. And “mouth breather” which… the meaning is right there. Oh and “dumber” (“dumb” means “unable to speak”).

It seems to me that you actually don’t have any problem with misusing words. Except for one specific word. Why’s that, I wonder?

The nature of language is to change over time. Help yourself to internalize that and a lot of these things may become less stressful.

Your attempt to use a non-inflammatory example doesn’t really work: “literally” has meant “exaggeratedly” for at least the past 200 years (likely more, it’s just been used extensively with that meaning for 200y).

If you try to demand that language have strict meaning, it’s just not going to work. Watch:

girls

What’s the definition of “girl”? Do they need to be prepubescent? Pre-postpubescent? Or are you using it in the (gasp, shock) sloppy sense of “a girl or a woman”? You’ve fallen into the exact same pitfall that you were complaining about.

The resolution isn’t to claim that all words have an absolute meaning, but to understand that human language is fluid and extraordinarily context-sensitive.

“Why would anyone in Europe care?”

I think the point of it would be to signal to Trump that Europe is his vassal. Trump says it’s sad that this guy is dead, therefore Europe is sad. Doesn’t really matter who it is or what’s up. You’re just following the pledge of fealty.

So, I think it’s good that the EU decided they’re sovereign for now. This sort of thing is always an ongoing project.
