I was just thinking about why many things on Linux are better. Like the install process on Linux is years ahead of windows.
Then it occurred to me that windows only improves things that can make them money. If you need to install windows, then you can deal with the crappy installer.
Linux devs improve the parts they think need to be better. The decisions are not guided by money and can be made without bias.
Now that you’ve got the idea apply it to everything in capitalist society. Especially if something is owned by shareholders.

Sounds pretty communist
Most people don’t install windows. It comes pre installed on something they bought. Microsoft probably puts more time into automating the process.
Also, last time I installed windows it was a breeze. I haven’t installed Linux in at least a decade, so I can’t speak for that.
Try installing debian some time, the installer makes windows’ installer feel like its for a piece of software you got of a sketchy site that wants to install 16 other things not even related to it
I mean, sounds exactly like the Windows installer to me
We must be using different installers then, because between the amount of telemetry you have to turn off, the dark patterns, and the insistence on using a Microsoft account the whole experience reminds me of installing one of those “driver updaters” when I was a kid and before I learned that was a very bad idea
Sounds like the decisions about what to make, how to make it and for whom to make it are done by the people doing the work. 🤔🫢
The install process on windows is clicking a few buttons.
For the vast majority of users it’s a way better experience.

That’s the default tracking experience, if you fall for all the dark patterns. Was a while ago, hunh?
Microsoft loves open source nowadays.
People do a huge amount of their work for free.
They’re also heavily invested in Linux for the cloud. So any work done there helps them.
With Microsoft, any love shown could well be the Embrace part of the strategy that will lead to Extend and then Extinguish just as soon as they can figure those parts out. They might already have a plan.
The fact they’ve been able to turn things to their advantage so far does not mean they don’t have such a plan. Or won’t ever have one.
Anyone know how I can program Anarchism?
Allow all code merges automatically
Anarchy is not absence of rules, it’s absence of hierarchy. So you could still collectively agree to certain rules for merges.
Basicaly democracy on steroids
work on decentralized technology like lemmy
The same way, generally. Work on decentralized, open source software. It’s modern Mutual Aid.
Ah, the late 1900s when you could still pretend that Apple was the choice of the counterculture for no credible reason except for Apple marketing. Slacktivism, my dude. Worthless.
This meme is truly ancient. I bet those little iMacs go for a pretty penny on eBay now after everyone tossed them in the garbage circa 2003.
I know, isn’t it great?
You jest. But no, communism is horrible.
You’ve obviously never read anything about communism or socialism.
Oh come on, that is such a lazy argument. I suppose you’re an economics PhD then?
But where are the good outcomes of communism? I agree that communism is terrible does not make much sense as a general statement.
There are a lot of benefits to it, like no real central leadership (more like central steering, not really iron fisted dictators which is what most implementations of it turned out to be), abolishing the monetary system (if implemented all the way), communes decide for themselves, good free healthcare, people are at the center of the system, not money/profit, etc.
When the program is free, it’s socialism. The more free the program is, the more socialism it is. When the source is free, it’s communism.
Communism…
Man on crypto themed instance has dumbass take, more news at 10.
I am aware of that lmao
At 10: This crypto nerd also seems to be using a lot of proprietary software as well as an Invidia GPU. Dave, have you got more information?
-Yes I do actually. Additionally, This Linux noob appears to be using a Chinese smartphone! People like this are certainly a disgrace to the Linux community.
This makes me like it even more.
Holy shit, this is an old old meme. This image has got to be at least 25 years old
it’s a parody of this poster from early 2000s
You wouldn’t download the means of production!
Yeah, but why would Microsoft post this? They barely make any open-source software so why are they promoting FOSS development?
It’s a meme dude, it’s a play on poster from the early 2000’s about pirating media.
Talk shit on FOSS, by comparing it to communism like it’s a bad thing, on Lemmy.
Now there’s a message this place will love, lol.
it seems like a pro-communist programming message to me. the red dude looks super cool and supportive.
A reminder from Microsoft… While he’s using a Mac?
Can we keep mainstream politics out of here please. I’m sick of them getting shoved into everything.
everything is political.
Fuck off with this cheap shitty leftist propaganda
