Yes, your neighbor is an asshole

Oof guy if you ever have to use the phrase “I…rely on facts and logic” with a passive aggressive smilie on the end you’ve already lost. I don’t even think there was an argument, but you still lost.

Sure in 10 years

Why is what you’re saying about Linux any different from what I’m saying about windows? Once you get to network it’s straightforward and a non issue.

Why is this supposed to be funny? Can someone explain the joke?

To get to a working state you’re very likely to be fine. They’re all using Intel wifi and some elan touchpad, so the basics work well enough to bootstrap up to your vendors website.

For this hypothetical activity most people never think about doing.

Lol “the main computer market is iffy”

If you’re willing to put up with the low security options provided by default and don’t have a weird laptop, maybe.

Oh I just did that

Only if you refuse to put forth the same effort into fixing windows as you do with Linux. Not wanting to learn doesn’t mean it’s not learnable.

But did you try (the distro I personally prefer)? I’ve tried 500 distros and that one is the one that actually worked for me.

I associate the Midwest with a fake, forced, sense of “everything is ok”. If you know the meme of the cartoon in the kitchen with the kitchen burning up around it…that’s how I think of the default personality type in the Midwest. Don’t rock the boat. Do what the law says. Respect authority. All that stuff.

So in this case the attitude of “listen, sure, this bulwark of the internet for 25 years may have just sold out and it’s terrible, but they have the power and if you don’t like it you should just use the one other worse alternative or suck it up and stop complaining”, to me, literally SCREAMS “I’m from Ohio, home of voting for the deregulation which poisons our land and makes it so our rivers literally catch fire”.

That’s absolutely the argument for why Microsoft is “spyware”. The terms of use and having network connections.

United breaks guitars.

Not quite parody but…

Why do you need adobe when ai can make catgirl pictures automatically?

What a strange point of view. Are you from the Midwest?

:(

I do not like this

Wait what?

Well sure but that’s a like…the last three days, type of thing.
