It really brings back that classic internet feeling.
" well that may be true but I have some assholes I want to outlive"
I would also like to have nice little messages in my inbox. I run Linux though. Debian Stable to be exact. If you run anything else you are wrong and stupid.
Anyone who has this strong of a reaction to something so inconsequential must be a deeply unhappy person. It sucks to suck.
Also, anyone who calls someone a ‘fag’ is a complete fucking moron. I doubt things will improve for them with so few brain cells to work with.
They are a huge racist and a MAGA and trolled you
In what way did they troll me? Did somebody call them a fag or not? If so, I don’t care what their justification was, that person is an asshole.
There’s a high likelihood they sent themselves that message so they could screenshot it and go ‘Look what the Linux users do!’ It’s what OP appears to do, mostly given it’s what users like them often do.
Well two things can be true
It says shitpost, but I 100000% believe this is a real thing.
Now say that you don’t like Firefox
I don’t like Firefox. But I use it anyway
I don’t like it either. But I use LibreWolf side by side with Vivaldi
I use GNOME Web
Tap for spoiler
No, not really
I’m currently in the process of converting over; have a dual boot and will probably leave it that way for the next year.
It is NOT, by any measure, that Linux is annoyance free and perfectly designed. It’s that Windows has been building up its annoyances in competition, so that going penguin takes a considerable measure of bloat off.
We’re at a point where some games are just performing better through Proton than running right on Windows.
I dual boot as well, and the only thing I’ve booted my windows install for was to work around a driver issue where my headset mic was no longer detected. Other than that, and troubleshooting why flat packs weren’t launching, my install of Bazzite has been rock solid.
Good plan. You’ll definitely find things you don’t like along the way and struggle. And having something to get things done in a crunch is useful. Just keep learning and in the end you’ll have all the tools you need and it’ll be great.
Based lemy.lol user 😎
I mean sure, but imagine being that guy. With those brains, its hard to even cook pasta.
We should all celebrate having the good fortune of not being like that guy.
The slur there is uncalled for and absolutely not okay.
But you did talk shit about Linux so…
I’m guessing it’s actually because you’re Republican
A right winger misrepresentating a situation to appear more sympathetic? Say it ain’t so.
Also really unlikely that a linux nerd would call you a “fag”
Eh, there’s plenty of community for projects like XLibre where that seems more likely, what with the “anti-woke” ideas.
They wouldn’t be angry at a right-winger though
MAGA… “Free thinkers.” Lol.
More like “free of thinking”.
Free from the restraints of logic!
Doublespeak
FTFY: “When you say you don’t like linux and Mexicans and that black ppl should go back to africa”
More likely the reason, indeed.
So cool, I love that marker you put on me. Makes it easier to round up people you don’t like ;)
It says a lot that you were trying to keep it hidden. Why? Not proud of it?
Awwww, is the widdle MAGAt upset they can’t blend into the crowd and lie about why they received mean messages?
Man, nobody can put “a target” on you for something you say on a public forum that people get mad about.
You guys want freedom of speech? Freedom of speech is also getting shit on online for something you say. You have a right to speak, not a right to be liked.
I really wish you people were as oppressed as you think you are
Must feel great then for this to be the top level comment and everyone seeing through your bullshit :) <3. Makes it easier for people to know to avoid you, while you pretend like you’re not actively rounding up people who aren’t the same color as you <3.
Nobodys rounding you up bub, we just want you to go away
Man, I don’t like MAGA either. I think they represent pretty much everything that’s wrong with society today…
But for a community that talks so often about disliking echo chambers, it really seems like most Lemmy users want an echo chamber.
Lemmy has everything from libs to anarchists to tankies. If that’s an echo chamber I think I’ll survive without fascist voices in the mix. The North Korea apologists are bad enough.
That’s fair, I can definitely understand that position and agree with you on the NK apologists.
From my point of view, I think it’s more productive to interact with people I disagree with, in the (possibly naive) pursuit of changing their minds. If people are kicked out for their views, I’d imagine many of them will just double down and act like a martyr.
To be clear, I’m not saying we shouldn’t call these people out and downvote them – that’s why that function exists right? But maybe once in a while, something that we argue will resonate with them.
Of course there are limits to that approach, and this all hinges on the other person arguing in good faith. Based on the OP’s post history, I’ll admit that I may be barking up the wrong tree in this case.
I honestly think there’s essentially zero chance of any argument resonating with someone who identifies as MAGA at this point.
I’d say there’s more danger to letting them into spaces to push hateful shit than there is benefit in the moonshot chance that one of them might hear an argument that resonates.
See, I’m torn. On one hand, I feel like this ‘us vs. them’ mentality contributes to the sort of tribalism that ultimately results in movements like MAGA popping up. If these people can only operate in MAGA-friendly spaces, they’ll rarely speak to anyone who disagrees with them, and will have no reason to reflect on their worldview.
Then I read the news. If current events aren’t enough to convince them that they’re misguided, I’m not sure that anything will.
I’m not sure I know what the solution is, but it’s been an interesting discussion.
That’s an optimistic perspective and I feel like we need more optimism these days. And maybe sometimes people do change their minds on things with social media discussions, though I think it’s already a difficult medium to work with.
For maga shit though, those people are basically cultists, and from what I understand it’s pretty much impossible to get people out of a cult without a personal connection helping them.
Lol says the ice supporting Nazi
Aww sweaty, you’re making my night :^)
Lol nice malapropism. Or is “sweaty” just a Republican term of endearment ever since the whole Trump / Epstein debacle?
I’m not getting sweaty with you, magat
Don’t worry man, I’m fine with you here. Sometimes I want to have a glimpse in to the world of republican politics to see if they make any sense whatsoever.
That’s what coworkers are for ):
Beep.
I really learned to appreciate the Linux people after meeting the FOSS crowd. These people literally make me want to pay for software.
those are the same people, sir
There is definitely an overlap but I think Linux users are more like vegetarians, they cut out the commercial OS from their diet and are content with that. FOSS people are more like militant vegans … they won’t be happy unless everyone else has to use the shitty software they do.
shitty software
I feel like you’ve never had to deal with proprietary bullshit.
i mean, there are degrees to everything
Just a year or two ago I would’ve said that i don’t even understand why linux exists. Now i’d rather say that windows should stop being a thing asap, as it brings nothing but problems and stagnation to consumer electronics, and nowadays it goes the same for any major proprietary software piece.
What can i say, i hope the era of corpos is nearing its end, and we’re the witnesses
Oh, I totally agree with that. I like Linux/FOSS.
It’s the people that post about it online that are insufferable.
currently
we’re the people
or at least i am :D
also, how would others know about all that cool free stuff that i found, that’s actually cooler that the paid one 🥺🥺🥺
foss doest have any marketing budgets, so of course foss users would blabber about it all over the place.
so, like, seriously, what’s the alternative here?
“Shitty software”??? Basically most of non-FOSS software is shitty. Its not because we want to use shitty software, but we better use shitty software that gets better overtime, than shitty software that only gets worse. Also why everyone else has to use it?? Idgaf what you use, but I’m only angry, when you decide to pay for shit software, instead of donating the better and more free software, thats the only thing that makes me angry about people.
Love that pic. :)
what do you think veganism is?
Mostly self-righteous virtue-signaling.
But veganism isn’t widely accepted as a virtue, so who are we supposedly signaling to by being combative?
Edit: also you apparently agree that veganism is a virtue?
“is veganism a virtue”
sounds like a topic for a debate
like, it certaily is on paper, from a moral standpoint of causing less harm to the environmant
but “the environmant” is a really vague term. After all, by not allowing John Flesheater have his steak, you’re still technically harming an animal, just morally this time :D (and possibly in terms of health a bit, if there are some kind of external dietary limitations in a given local region)
Another problem is that farm animals don’t talk much about their feelings, ro we can’t really know if we’re actually harming them, thus we can’t say whether we’re helping them by stopping the process.
But that raises another question: “how one would know if they’re happy, if they never experienced happiness?”
I think veganism is a vanity that we can afford given the right circumstances, that some cultures also try to dress up as a virtue. So if one derives joy or piece of mind from it, they shoule do it as long as they do.
oof sorry, not coming drunk to lemmy again :D
judging by the depth of reasoning of my opponents so far, veganism is not only not a virtue, it’s a cope of the fact that ahy life form is inherenly cruel towards the other in a system with limited resources.
I’d like to be dabated tho, cuz it sounds kinda not nice.
Another problem is that farm animals don’t talk much about their feelings, ro we can’t really know if we’re actually harming them, thus we can’t say whether we’re helping them by stopping the process.
Pure cope. We know how badly animals are hurt by factory farming methods, and there isn’t a non-factory method that I’m aware of that can meet the demand for meat.
But that raises another question: “how one would know if they’re happy, if they never experienced happiness?”
How do I know you’ve ever been happy? I’ve never seen it, so I can assume you haven’t, right? (This is how nonsensical your argument sounds. We can see farm animals get excited about things the experience, like happy cows skipping to their field)
Please read this and more importantly watch the material linked to see if you still think that “we can’t really know if we’re actually harming them”

Like I dont have time to get into all the different things going on with your post, it’s a lot, so lets focus on that one thing.
But veganism isn’t widely accepted as a virtue
But is it?
?
Linux users are more like vegetarians, they cut out the commercial OS from their diet and are content with that
Have you been on Lemmy, sir?
Using FOSS is like the first step towards using the FOSS OS.
Yeah, but I blocked all 372 linux communities.
should you even be considered a lemmy user at this point? :D
Arch enemy.
btw
Add a thinkpad to fulfill the cult completely. 🫳🤜
Arch lemmemy
That’s your alt, right?
