- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

MODERATORS
When I see these kind of posts I can't help but think that maybe they're being made by people who could be astroturfing for another company and it’s OS, in a negative way, to redirect the narrative.
Because Microsoft cares so much about an 18.6K-member community called “linuxmemes” on a small federated Reddit alternative known for being filled with die-hard Linux fans and furries?
The company a corporation would hire to do that sort of thing would use a shotgun approach to the redirection postings. With bots it would be easy for them to do.
Ah, how could I have forgotten the legion of MSFT contract employees scouring… fucking… furaffinity for that sweet, delectable anti-Linux propaganda lmao
Because having bots backed by AI and a preset list of sites/forums to post to would be way too much of an effort and impossible to automate/do, right? /s
(And for the record, mentioning 'bots' for the second time now.)
Sure, because Linux is such a threat to Microsoft
A smart CEO doesn't look at just today, but looks at tomorrow as well.
'Kill the baby in the crib' is a valid option to a CEO.
There's ~~vermin~~ furries here?
Gross.
Careful of the venn diagram — if you're talking to a member of a Linux community on Lemmy, chances are they aren't anti-furry.
I will die on this hill. Their down votes mean nothing to me. I've seen what makes them cheer.
i think it's a sort of meta ironic joke. The joke here is that it's not working, and they're trying to figure out why it's not working, because linux actually lets you do this to some significant capacity.
Yeah, no, not sure if I can agree with that interpretation. To me it seemed more like it was showing the frustration of the user trying to use Linux that doesn't work, and having to debug the problem, adding to the frustration.
If it was expressing what you're saying it was, then there would be one more final frame to the comic showing some kind of Linux 'hero' plot device solving the problem, or pointing out there really isn't a problem.
i mean, admittedly debugging is not fun, i would know, it's literally what i do in my spare time (i've spent thousands of hours working on autistic redstone trying to make it fucking work because it looks pleasing to the eye and runs fastlier)
It's awful, the amount of swears i've said in relation to it is probably higher than politics, ironically. Granted, i still love doing this shit, it's just grueling from time to time. It's part of the lifestyle.
If it had one more frame it would no longer have a significant punchline though. That's why i think it's a meta joke. We as linux users often goad about the wonderful nature of linux, but when someone asks about it, we talk about all the shit that can break. Or it's just the fact that it's pretty easy to do things wrong sometimes.
For example, a while ago i was having an issue with video playback being incredibly sluggish. Turns out it was pipewire not running, which was weird. You would think a video would play fine without audio, and it should, but apparently that one case of not having audio output really fucked shit up.
