Talk about projection...
I'm all for pointing and making fun of the questionable stuff that Unix/Linux does, some as old as the first versions!, but that comm is just the mod/owner haturbaiting against Linux.
I love the shirt. :'D
Lets not give this dork any playtime, eh? He gets off on the attention.
MT is going to continue anyway. Might as well show newbies what a crazy loser they are, so at least the posts all get downvoted into oblivion as they post them
Don't feed the trolls
Good point. But also: sometimes show people what trolls look like, so they know what not to feed.
That's the attention he gets off on. It's not like he's coming off as sane and tricking people into agreeing with him. He's coming off like someone preaching on a street corner who isn't even facing the right direction.
Just ignore him. If you can't do that, condescend to him. But yeah he's getting off on the attention, so don't feed the troll
If using Linux is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Dude tried to argue with me that ECC memory is why windows is better.
Yes, he's that stupid.
He kept trying to argue that anything open source is "commie garbarge."
You can see me completely destroy all of his arguments and he runs away like the MAGA bitch he is. Pathetic.
I've interacted with MadThumbz before, I was still on Reddit when they got banned for admin abuse. I'm pretty sure they're a troll, but I've blocked them regardless
Pretty sure I responded to the same post.
He started saying Linux needed ecc for a while, windows didn't, which is absolutely ridiculous given that a lot of Mac's needed ecc, and windows server explicitly recommends ecc.
My Linux Android phone doesn't use ecc either, or people's Samsung tv
He said that on Lemmy, an open source platform, hosted mostly (I assume) on Linux servers? Brilliant
He should grow a pair, fork his own Lemmy server, closed the source, and run it on a windows server.
I might be a commie, a criminal, and a pornstar, but I am NOT a cheater.
Can confirm on the porn.
Doing the gayest of crimes on Linux
Not gay-crimes! Those are the worst ones!
NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1
My Linux user is not a criminal, they maybe conspiracy theorist, liar, commie, cheater, criminal but they are not a pornstar.
Edit: forgot conspiracy theorist
I feel like this is probably a disinformation bot. Why would a human being have such strong feelings about an OS that allows people to circumvent corporate control/surveillance on their PC?
Yeah, it's either that or someone who has decided their special interest is hating linux. If it's the user that I think it is, when I looked at their history earlier, pretty much every post of theirs is over the top anti-linux.
Though I am glad to see that most of the accounts I suspect of astroturfing are generally downvoted to the negatives here. Though I do wonder if this place will end up being a training ground for propaganda that works on the segments of the population that are highly represented here that don't seem as susceptible to the shit that would get eaten up on FB or gain some traction on reddit. Actually, windows love probably does well on reddit since it's made up of people who haven't gotten tired enough of the enshitification to leave and are probably doing the same with windows.
That... might even be why they enshitified it so much for no apparent benefit at the cost of many users that contributed positively. Those contributions might not have been seen as so positive if they responded to marketing bullshit negatively.
Suggested it might be more fun praising an OS you actually lke, instead of ~500 posts on something you hate. Am now banned
Commies on Lemmy?
It's more likely than you think
It's hard to believe there is anyone who would care so much about Windows that they naturally get this dedicated to crusading for it.
We know now days that there are people getting paid to discredit vegans online, and that's the only explanation for this that makes sense to me.
Not just windows.. They just hate Linux.
The reason I think they're an Apple user though, is that Apple users also defend BSD (since, the MacOS core was essentially unix based), and the culture changed a bit to look down on windows less when the intel macs were released with Windows.
I used to sell gear, and a lot of Apple people tend to just like to attack linux in my experience
The funny thing is that they say "linux doesn't run any games", but, MacOS has always sucked at games
OOP after shooting L1T Wendell: "What? It was obvious! He's the red commie. Watch, he'll turn red any second now! ...Aaaaaaany second now. See, red! No-wait, that's blood."
Why do you think there's such an interest in VFIO and passing a graphics card thru to a VM? You think all these people are just happily making their own cloud gaming Stadia clone? Nah fam, they're fucking cheaters trying to hide their tracks. For every five legit posts there's a "why can't I get BattleEye/EAC to work in a VM?" JUST STOP CHEATING BRO
I admit I’ve tried gently poking into OOP’s psyche and they do genuinely seem committed to the crabs-in-a-bucket crusade against Linux. Like the constant hate boner with zero sources seems like it has to be exhausting. Shame they refuse to use that energy for anything positive but ¯\(ツ)/¯ their life I guess lol
Absolute loony...
i don't think so.
the loony bin has windows pre-installed.
LOL This person is a bit unhinged, and cannot recognize that Linux distros are viable for just about everyone who wants to manage their computer. And not have a big corporation interfere with what they can and cannot do with their computer. Cheaters, criminals, and all sorts use a variety of OS.
I just happen to be a geek that enjoys Linux, specifically, Garuda Linux. A great distro.
cheaters
We call that lifehack around here!
Oh this is like when epstien got moot to reboot 4chan.
Same verbiage.
Guess they think trans folks are getting steamrolled hard enough now, and are coming for us, boys
Oh wow our first beef community! Thats awesome!
Not much competition really.
This is someone who says "linux users don't have jobs", but on another hand, spends all day making stupid (and occasionally bigoted) memes, like the weird one about pronouns.
Someone who spends this much time attacking an operating system, probably doesn't have much of an exciting life (and, they probably aren't getting invited to anything, anywhere)
