I may write a blog post about this. It's insane how afraid we've gotten of offering criticism in fear of hurting someone's feelings.

Since when did it become a bad thing to say "that was a really bad book?"

I've seen multiple people apologize for not liking or finishing a novel. This makes no sense to me. You don't become an author expecting everyone to enjoy your writing.

Now, if you're saying horrible things about the writer, that's bad. But if you don't like a book, it's damn okay to say so. You can also tell people why. If, as an author, you're so afraid of people not liking your work, then don't be an author.

Wait. wait. wait. There's an Xorg developer's conference still?

There are Xorg developers?

I thought we were told those had gone extinct?

So someone complains on Fedi that they're getting rude remarks. Someone else comments back, "Block them" (they said it nicer than that), and yet the OP gets upset at being told to use the block button.

You can't make this shit up folks. People are so damn sensitive. You get assholes in any community, and if you can't t deal with that, go live in the woods. It can't be helped. But being an asshole to people who are just trying to help isn't the solution.
