Are we really going to start enlightened centrist memes over Linux?
I say this as someone who daily drives Linux on their framework laptop, who self hosts jellyfin, home assistant, searxng, ollama, etc.
For a lot of folks, their lives don’t revolve around computers. I know that folks on Lemmy tend to skew more towards that computer lifecycle, but we gotta recognize that we’re out of the norm in that regard.
So what? I’m tired of shit aimed at the lowest common denominator and won’t comment as if I need to appeal to or be understood by those who can’t be bothered to learn a bit about things that play a major role in society.
They are tired of hearing about linux? Well I’m tired of hearing about whining about windows, plus I blame their inattention for enablong the enshitification in the first place because windows would be much better if more people were willing to look at alternative options. A lot of shit would be better if that were the case.
Though usually I don’t bother engaging at all and only really engage when there’s pushback saying it’s hard (I found it less effort overall than installing windows and getting it to a state where I don’t hate interacting with it so much), or these kind of arguments that imply because it’s not as accessible a lot of people, it shouldn’t be brought up or something?
The funkiest part here is a lot of big tech keeps acting more and more like an abusive partner.
Gaslights you regarding your desires and choices, tries to get you to stop using any other service so you only use theirs, demands increasing amounts of ad views/dollars in exchange for decreasing quality of service, makes it intentionally difficult to leave etc.
So while comparing the choice to not install a new OS on your computer to an abusive relationship is weird, there’s also some parralels that are getting even weirder
are you saying ms is not invading users’ privacy by scanning all their files, contents included, it possible? while also removing more and more control options over how the system runs
Its called being a cunt, and its one of many reason that no one likes Linux users. You are come across are big brained fuckwits that sniff their own farts. You want a metaphor? You all sound like that fucking prick who said “You have phones dont you?!”. Worse, when new users ask questions, the replies they get back are often little more than you get your first time playing COD. “Fucking NOOB!!!”. I wonder, how many moms of new linus users have you claimed to have fucked?
Pull your cock out of your own mouth for 5 minutes, and maybe people will start to take notice. Because until then, you are Iceman. You might be right, but no cunt fucking likes you, cos youre prick about it.
“My boyfriend started hitting me in the face”
“Well maybe you should switch boyfriends”
“I don’t feel confident in switching. Just let me complain buddy.”
How this same conversation can sound to non-technical folks:
“my boyfriend left his dirty socks in the living room AGAIN.”
“Well maybe you should switch boyfriends”
“…what?”
Blissful ignorance.

It’s the nail in the head all over again
Did Lemmy just compare using a computer to domestic abuse… really…
That’s some out of touch bullshit. These are not comparable on any level. I get this is a meme section for Linux, but it’s some out of touch bullshit.

Isn’t Microsoft slowly pushing its fist into your ass?
I think Linux made you retarded instead because ain’t no one else making that stupid ass comparison 😭

I feel like they’re saying that what you described doesn’t equate to do getting hit in the face by your boyfriend, which is subjective.

This is the level of delusion the average Linux evangelist operates at.
Thinking you should leave an abusive boyfriend / girlfriend is delusional now?
Thinking its as simple as “Just leave your boyfriend” is pretty fucking delusional, yeah.
Shh, just let them complain about their boyfriend.
This brings back bad memories lol
