Update connecting-to-the-internet-via-usb.md
I've never used Gnome, and never any GUI for my network connections. I couldn't find how to establish the connection, so I found out myself, but I wanted to register what I learned. This page seemed the most appropriate place.
Hallo David, I was quite angry this morning, just after having issued my pull request, when I came across #39. I hate to waste my time, not so much finding a solution myself, that's always fun, but getting to grips with Github and its PITA editor. Then, scanning the pull requests, I found the same information was entered two years ago. You'll need to convince me to put any more effort into documenting my encounters with EV3. Kind regards, Gerard
I am sorry that this makes you angry. I hope that you are willing to complete this work so that other people will not have to be frustrated like you are now.
Can you tell me what went wrong with #39 so that I don't make the same mistake? Can I update the documentation offline and avoid the Github-interface? Is it possible to see what it will look like? The Github online editor's "preview" looks nothing like the real page.
Just found the answers to my offline and preview questions in the README.md. What a strange name for that document. Why is it called "README.md"?

Because that is the convention across GitHub and the broader software-development world. The expectation is that you will "read it" (hence "read me") to get important information on the project you are looking at. GitHub extends that basic idea to render the README as the home page of your repository. I would recommend getting into the habit of reading the opening paragraph of every README that you see on GitHub, because it'll probably answer most of your questions about the project.
Sorry about that, WasabiFan, this is probably not the right place, but I was only making fun of myself.

Nothing went wrong. The submitter just did not make time to address the review comments. You have already done this (thank you), so there is nothing to worry about.
@dlech can you take another pass at this now that your review has been addressed?
@ghpille Are you going to be able to finish this? I really want to make sure that we get these changes merged this time!
@WasabiFan I certainly hope so, but currently facing a part of my roof taken away by a storm and my girlfriends heating system breaking down while it's winter down here. Priorities, priorities ...

Aw, I hate when that happens 😉
No problem, I just wanted to make sure this wasn't forgotten about. There's no rush on this work.
@enitsche Are you interested in my private life? It took me a couple of weeks to replace my girlfriends heating system, the replacment weighing some 280kg. The same time I had to replace a 200l boiler. Then my dog died, took me a week to find a new one, but this last one asks for more attention then the previous one. I've been on holiday for 3 weeks to southern France, spent an entire weekend making plum jam, had a small car accident but it took me some time to repair the damage. I don't keep a diary, there are large hiatuses.
Dlech made it clear that the steps I added to the tutorial, are unnecessary. In that case, why would I finish it?
