ImgonnatrythisNot a fan of bots, but Lemmy might as well have a bot that acts as a first responder to tech support questions with this response.
“Hey my cars engines is having issues”
“Have you tried a bike?”
Give your head a shake, it’s not good or the right advice, the only ones that want to hear it is people who want to circle jerk, doesn’t help anyone.
To be fair that’s not an good comparison. This comparison would be proper if someone was asking:
Hey my computer stopped working, can you help? Have you tried using a calculator instead?
The proper one would be:
Hey my Ford stopped working, can you help? Have you tried using arch linux a BMW instead?
Neither of them are helpful, but I think it works better.
… ……
Or maybe suggest a repair manual or mechanic…? How is suggesting a bmw helpful?
You must need a ladder, because you clearly missed the entire point of my comment.
No, I got it. I just wasn’t commenting on that part.
So you missed/ignored my only point and decried to just bloviate about your own thing?
Sure that makes total sense.
That’s how conversations work, people don’t always fixate on the thing that you are trying to make a point on. They follow up with their points of view and things they can contribute with.
Thats… not how conversation works dude. If you’re not talking about a related topic, you aren’t contributing. Your derailing the conversation are best, or at worst, just a troll. That’s an incredibly ignorant and fallacious way of thinking, that everyone just needs to listen to your random thoughts?
You do realize that this started by you taking seriously something someone said in jest? The jig should’ve hinted at when the original comment said “seriously though” so in fact you are the one who derailed the conversation by having tunnel vision on a comment that was a joke, or a light hearted poke at something that you said.was not helpful.
Pointing out that the joke isn’t helpful and would actually make the dish ruin worse isn’t relevant?
You’re not all there in the head are you?
