Eh, I have a low tolerance for this kind of bullshit. I know what I like and what I don’t like. I went through their posting history before blocking them, and I found that the subjective quality of their contributions failed to outweigh my irritation towards them. To me, it’s better to just block them and never risk seeing comments like this from them again. There are a bunch of people on this site who I’d rather interact with.

As a bonus, they’ll only ever have one shitty passive aggressive comment from me to deal with.

Ah, excellent, thank you! I love it when shitheads make themselves obvious so I can block them. Toodles~

Isn’t less disease better than more? I won’t argue with you about sex or other things that people have hangups about, but HIV is also transmissible through blood. There are people who got HIV and developed AIDS for reasons that are innocent in any reasonable context. If you’re a first responder or good Samaritan, doctor, nurse, or find yourself in some other context where it’s possible for uncontrolled mingling of blood, you’re at risk of contracting HIV. If particularly vulnerable people can be completely protected, then everyone’s odds will improve.

I don’t know the tone or content of your previous messages, but I appreciate that you removed potential misinformation and took the whole exchange as a learning opportunity rather than digging in your heels.

I also appreciate that @girlfreddy@lemmy.ca simply asserted the facts present in the article as a part of their initial message. It’s nice to see positive interactions develop out of a less-than-ideal starting point.

Which mouse and which distro? I’m genuinely curious. I’ve plugged my MX Master 3S directly into my work laptop running Arch many times and have never had to do anything to make it work.
