    I guess I’m just lucky, but I’ve gotten nothing but thoughtful support on Arch forums and Stackoverflow. If you read the article How do I ask a good question?, it works very well. It seems harsh but coming with poorly thought out questions without debugging details makes it impossible to help.

    Honestly, I have never found anything but a majority of support and kindness when asking questions online.

    Some of the “duplicate” questions that I have seen on Stack Overflow are phrased entirely different than the supposedly “original” one. It’s like they expect me to brute-force their entire fucking search index before publishing a new question. I don’t have that much patience or time.

      Stackoverflow gets quickly steamrolled by AI.

      We’re not 100% there yet, but the writing on the wall is there. Just my opinion, of course.
