Heck you get that on stackoverflow and github pages.

 

I post on a forum where you need to be a certified professional admin to post there, it's a thing for work. And people are dumb there too, it never ends.

"Why you running the Linux version? Just use windows" Oh why didn't I think of that? Because we're an enterprise application! I don't get to pick the platform I just fix the damn thing.

I absolutely hate StackOverflow for this reason. That, and, if I Google a very specific technical question, 99% of the time, the StackOverflow post that would've answered the question is locked because "it was already answered." (It wasn't. It just happened to be a very similar question that's still different enough that it doesn't answer the question that was locked.)

Oh my god that's like when they suggest to bounce/restart productive environments just willy nilly in a support ticket
