Never heard of him before. Now I’ve learned that he seemed like a really horrible person…

This sounds like a bunch of b***shit so I had to look it up. Seems like you’re actually right… 😳

First of all - I’m shocked that anyone would use a thumb up like in your last example. That’s obviously extremely rude and disrespectful.

Second of all - I’m shocked that some people can’t see the difference of the usage of the thumb up and believe that it’s always rude, regardless of context.

I understand how someone can see a thumbs up as something rude in certain circumstances. What I’m having a hard time understanding is that some people seem to believe that the thumb up is ALWAYS rude.

What is rude, as you say, is the lack of a proper response, depending on the conversation. Not the thumb in itself.

No. Thumbs up means that I agree with you. I know that the younger generation has started interpreting a thumbs up as something negative though, which just blows my mind.

Love this! We definitely should try to spread Linux to become more accessible and popular.

I just installed Linux Mint yesterday. Can’t wait to get home to continue playing around with it. I like it so far!
