Sure. But the original statement is just as dull. Assuming no specific context.

Ultimately, both of those commenters are annoying. Saying "I use Arch btw" is a useless self-serving statement that provides no benefit or information to the audience. But engaging with that message in the manner displayed is also pointless and stupid, even if the statement is correct.
The saving grace for the "Linux user" commenter is that they are self aware about being annoying, judging by their last comment. So hopefully they were just being ironic. Or rage baiting.
I use(d) Arch, btw.
Yeah, which is why I have "voluntarily" in italics.
I totally understand the overall ridiculousness of this, but I suspect that "mandatory" and "voluntary" apply to 2 different people in this case. Person 1 has a "mandatory shift" and person 2 is supposed to voluntarily cover that person's mandatory shift.
The "hand sign associated with StarTrek" is called the Vulcan salute 🖖.
And the phrase "Resistance is futile" is also regularly used on the show, repeatedly uttered by the Borg on every encounter, preceded by "You will be assimilated".
Some unsolicited trivia for you.
What's a "pipetting baby"?
Ohh... It's missing a comma.
I have some experience with Latex, but afaik, it's mostly for writing mathematical formulas and stuff, no?
I'm surprised this is still getting responses.
Fair jab, but I was obviously the computing term, implying "...from source code".
This post is on the "front page", didn't come here deliberately.
Fair enough, I didn't know that "open-source" is, in of itself, sort of a misnomer and, by the formal definition, a book can be open-source, because the phrase means certain specific things not tied to source code, contrary to what the name implies.
And in my defense, I've seen some software that required license key to use, with code available on GitHub or something that called itself open-source (I won't be able to recall the specific names). I assume the term is misused often.
But "open source" doesn't even mean that you can reproduce it or use it for free. It just means that you can see the source code. The permissiveness, as you mentioned, lies in the licensing.
So I still think that it's a complete misnomer.
I checked the video and found the comment. Commenting about using Linux on that video is the equivalent of finding a turkey recipe and commenting "No thanks, I'm a vegan" on it. Then why did you open this video?!
