    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.

    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.

      discredit vegans

      lolwat?

      like, “yeah it’s true, they’re all eating bacon when we aren’t looking-” ?

      my deceased FIL was a ms cheerleader for decades, went to MSDN events, had a home office fuckin chock fulla MS credentials and certificates (wooden displays plaques) - he would talk about Linux being a) useless hobbyist OS that’ll never be reliable for REAL jobs (this was already delusional in the late 90s) and b) it’ll be ‘outlawed because they’re gonna find stolen code watch’.

      so just fyi, some people are deranged and ideologically motivated, his was probably due to insecurity about MS - even back then it was heinously expensive (CAL’s and licence management being one of his main jobs and a source of constant budget overages)… wonder what he’d think of today’s ms with bash and linux lol…

      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

    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.

      People still act like world governments spying on civilians is still a conspiracy theory even though it’s written into law in multiple countries at this point…

    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

    What’s sad is there’s good posts to be made in a Linuxsucks community. The Debian intelligence apparatus takeover/murder-suicide pact alone could keep it going for a year.
