Is this even legal?
(lemmy.world)
I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don't even use chrome, i've switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10
*facepalms in having told the newbie not to drink and root*
You're the reason most of us don't really tell others that we run Linux.
Yeah, you clearly are a newbie if you missed the obvious flag that my username presents. I'm a fucking old sysop you nimrod. I know Win, *Nux, Netware not because I want to know, but because my fucking job requires me to know. And you know what you figure out after a while of messing around with all of the crap that exists? Nothing is pure.
So yeah, you be 16 year old me and repeat my own mistakes. Rant about corpo crap without even knowing what a job is. Rant about fucking principles when you still afford them. Also give me the spiel about how FOSS is superior to closed source because arbitrary reasons. If you live long enough, you'll get the nuance to stop spouting crap that doesn't mean shit outside of your bubble.
Seriously, you are literally teenage me. I'm so glad I grew out of this phase. But man, you seriously need to pick up a fucking sysman every once in a while and stop sniffing the farts of the in-crows of popular lin distros.
I didn't so much give up as I was forced to reconcile the false narratives posed by the bubble I was living in versus getting the fucking job done at the end of the day. Having to actually work according to legal standards, KPIs, milestones and visions really makes you realize the limitations of certain systems and the pitfalls of them. That only comes with experience.
And I don't fucking *need *communities to tolerate me, because I don't care. Again, you're speaking like some teenager on Twitter that's worried about likes more than someone whose got insight. If I need a *nux server for anything, I'll use it. But I'm not going to let blind FOSS bullshit idealism bar me from getting the job done at the end of the day.
Now, if you had any brains you'd realize that smugly telling windows lusers to switch their OS is only going to piss them off. If you REALLY wanted to be a suave motherfucker, you could tell the users how to fix their shit and then tell them WHY shit like that happens (99% because win is a mono system, which *Nux isn't) and then suggest a distro that would work for a switch, maybe link to some handy guides or shit like that.
But no, you're 16 year old me instead who giggles at Tux memes and tells people to switch when they ask for help. Fucking cringe.

Yes, keep rehearsing the old propaganda. Doesn't mean shit to the normie that still uses Windows because they'd rather have support than shitty half or undocumented systems that do shit they're not supposed to at the worst time. For what it's worth, you're completely right. 100%. But reality makes all your right irrelevant. So, rather than fucking around and trying to convert people, maybe just lay off the bullshit and leave them be? Or .. you know, git gud and help out?
No, companies need frigging assurances. They need timely SLA metered support with seasoned professionals who are certified in their specific areas. The public sector then needs that AND legal coverage as they have a completely different noodle to cook at the end of the day.
And it somehow needs to be a lot cheaper and easier to use for lusers and somehow integrate with everything else.
