I'd go a step further. Desktop computing as a whole is overkill for most users.

Why would you say something so brave, yet so controversial?

I could argue the same thing about Windows 11.

Can you imagine an average person going into best buy and buying a laptop, maybe in S mode, forced to make a Microsoft account and wait 5-8 minutes updating their machine before they can use it, just for Microsoft edge to pop up asking them to change their accent color. Or downloading a program online and a big old popup comes up saying "Available in the Microsoft Store!"

I personally argue Linux Mint is awesome and what's best for most people. my grandma (81) didnt want to switch to 10 or 11 after Windows 7 was going to be EOL, she tried mint and she absolutely loved it.

To add to this. Most complaints about windows from linux users are just people who don't know how to use windows, which is kinda embarrassing considering its the most used OS by a really big margin.

It's not collusion, it's game theory. So you can't arrest me.

A lotta internet atheists seem to care more about hating the specific flavor of Christianity they grew up under and didn't like than the concept of religion in general, but they view those two things as one and the same.

They cry foul at (admittedly, abhorrent) outlier behavior and use that as a generalization against a globe of different religious practices without knowing how they affect the day to day lives of various practitioners.

It seems to me they have a larger problem with vulgar hypocrisy and abuse of institutional power than the concept of theism in general.

Like the people hypothetically sentenced to work a restaurant service job so that they're more empathetic to wait staff, I think many internet atheists would do well with a stint as a half-practicing Protestant who's mostly in it for the potlucks or a Reform Jew who prefers to party most Fridays, but makes a point of showing up on High Holidays to catch up with acquaintances.

This sounds like an asshole Christian kid touchers opinion of you ask me… 🤔

Maybe, but religious people are categorically idiots.

this is just true. first time i saw the atheist memes community i thought "huh that seems interesting" then i looked at whats in there and "huh these people just hate cristianity and barely even give good reasons for it"

You think that opinion is gonna cause you to be bombarded on Lemmy?

The idea of ~~coffee~~ copyright is good, but corporate lobbying and the current most-money-wins legal system makes our implementation of copyright harmful. TL;DR: Interface good, implementation bad.

It's not as simple as stupid group of people does bad things. There is a clear and powerful monetary motivation to harm the environment and the people responsible are well aware of what they are doing. They simply do not care.

The climate deniers are not the problem and it isn't every individuals responsibility to dramatically alter their lives and consumption for the smallest effect on our environment. Your average climate denier denier does not make this better obviously but they are a victim of an intentionally deceitful propaganda campaign

Get out.

I was digging this thread until this post. I am looking for my pitchfork now.

Well done.

I hate that I’m supposed to upvote this comment.

How can cowboys and hookers in space be anything but fantastic?

Let me say that your comment is on topic and a valuable addition to the conversation. I hope you get many upvotes.

Personally I think you should be banned from eating a good cut of meat ever again. The boiled leather of an old worn out shoe should be a feast for you.

Giving people tools does not make them smarter.

Yes, except the Israeli government are the ones creating ghettos, actively stealing land and ethnic cleansing.

Neither Hamas or the state of Israel are good, or right, but one of these two has put way more points on the board over the last half century, and it ain't Hamas.

Hamas is the result of Isreal's brutality, not the cause.

Both sides suck. But ethnic cleansing is no bueno.

I can vibe with you on spaghetti - I dig it but you're probably not as wrong as you think.

Burritos however... my brother or sister in Christ, you pick what goes in them. If they suck you need to up your ingredient game. Simple as.
