That’s exactly the kind of belittling behaviour I’m criticizing.
I’m a sysadmin. I’d just like to see everyone be free from extortion and am fed up with the alienating culture within the Linux- and, partially, hacking community. There’s of course nothing against learning, but a lot against expecting people who just want to be on a boat trip to somewhere to slowly become sailors and blaming them when they’re afraid of messing with core elements of the boat with specialized tools. They’ll rather go to the overly friendly but creepy guy on the other boating service (Windows), as with them they at least know they’ll arrive their actual destination.
They very well might even be fully preoccupied with being someone you as a sailor depend on and have neither time nor interest to divest from that.
Then of course there is the accessibility aspect for disabled people (which also includes GUI and not just screenreaders, different people have different needs), but that’s not a can of worms we should open or I may explode in your face.
Your meme isn’t the issue. Your expectations and the way you belittle people is.
