I like Linux. I like Linux users. I don't like people who think Linux is the only viable OS to use, though. That's just obnoxious and exhausting.

[–] msage@programming.dev 7 points 1 hour ago

So theres BSD, truth.

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Based and truth-pilled.

Speaking of, I recently switched to Linux, do the thigh high socks just show up or do I have to order them myself?

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

If you use arch you have to start knitting

[–] DarkMetatron@feddit.org 1 points 42 minutes ago

And with Gentoo you have to spin your own yarn before the knitting 😁

You need to be a naughty slut that deserves a spanking for that to appear.

You get a choice of free maid/nurse/lab assistant outfit as well.

[–] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

Yep, as written in the manuscript:
"Stallman's Sluts and Torvalds' Thots,
shall all receive some thigh-high socks."

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

You unlock them once you enter your 10,000th terminal command.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Does repeating commands count or do they have to be entered manually?

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

It's rather a r9k kind of deal

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 3 points 3 hours ago

Better get to work then, its gonna be a cold winter.

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I knew all those Linux users were dirty sluts.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, who knew an open source platform would be used by open source enthusiasts?

It's more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it's a brothel.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

As long as there's blackjack too.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Hey! Hookers are street working girls.

You find whores at brothels.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (2 children)

Who are you so wise in the ways of sex workers?

And escorts?

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I can't believe my sleep addled brain read this as "e-scorts" like it was some new gaming thing.

[–] greybeard@lemmy.one 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Careful, some tech bro will take that and get a billion dollars in venture capital for "eScorts: Uber for hookers".

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

How quickly can you write up a proposal? We can have GPT get us a mockup of the ui by tomorrow and be ready for production by Friday...

Did I say all of that correctly?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

You know.... That's not a bad idea.

We had call girls back in the 80s and 90s. They were good as long as you had some blow.

Now, I'm not so sure. I guess they are traveling onlyfans blowing through metro cities like tumbleweeds.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Escorts are luxury accessories you take to upscale events for "smoozin & boozin".

They'll even fuck you if you gain their interest or are rich enough. Think of them like geisha. Beautiful, seductive, multifaceted and cultured.

[–] boreengreen@lemm.ee 11 points 5 hours ago

GNU\Linux awareness is a good thing for everyone! If everone was aware; we would have better alternatives across the board.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Looking at you c/linuxsucks

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Lol still trying to decide if the linuxsucks community is entirely genuine.

[–] CTDummy@lemm.ee 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Considering the mod will ban you for expressing literally the same sentiment as the OP and was posting multiple time daily, I think they are.

Frankly, I don't have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it's preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don't have a desire to care.

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The number one reason not to switch is "I don't want to". And I dislike that Windows users keep repeating decades old solved issues as excuses instead of being honest.

'But muh games' only very few don't work OOB or at all.

'I need this software' most works flawlessly under Wine.

'It crashes' exactly as often as Windows with faulty hardware or bug in a driver.

'Hardware isn't plug&play' more hardware works with Linux without installing drivers.

Jusy say "I dont want to give it a shot" or "I'm in the minority that can't switch", but don't bullshit people about Linux requiring cmd to work. And those people then suggest editing registry to remove ads... It's dishonest and in bad faith.

FOSS is the only way forward to stop complete enshittification of the digital space, like it or not.

I also I hate Microsoft and Apple with all my soul.

I get that most don't care, but that doesn't mean supporting those companies is good.

[–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 minutes ago

It's fine to feel that way. It's also fine to have that discussion with folks who may not know what the current state of is. But the bottom line is people don't enjoy being told what they're familiar with isn't good or useful, because to them, it is. If it fulfills their day to day needs and wants, there's very little argument to be had.

Microsoft's business practices are scummy, and Apple's closed ecosystem leads them to punish their customers. But not everyone uses their computer for more than what they absolutely require. Many do not have home computers, and may only interact with them for work. I'm a geek, nerd, whatever. I like to tinker, I like to customize, and I like that I have the freedom to do so. But most people just want something they're familiar with, something that works as they expect it to. They don't want to learn to use something at home that isn't the same as work or school. And honestly I think that's fair. There's more going on in their lives, and these days almost everything they need to do is on the internet anyways.

You also have to run the right Linux distro. Try telling Lemmy you run Ubuntu.
