I dont think annon is a Linux user

This is how much sympathy I have for you Felon Muskrat

Same, getting paid to do something I love is a dream. It would also be very funny if I got paid enough money as an anti-tesla protester to afford HRT with enough money left over to donate to worker liberation organizations :3

Ill be honest, it probrally never will be for you

If she wants to be a mindless sheep all power to her I suppose

I support equal rights can she please slip estrogen into my food anyway :3

(For very cis reasons ofc)

Even worse, its ChromeOS (ewwww)

Interesting, completely unrelated but fun fact: the nazis hated Catholics and all Christians, they tried banning and corrupting it but failed. This is because they were worried that Christians had too much empathy.

Holy shit, I didn’t think the bullying campaign would acturally work. This is a grand victory for all workers of the world and a sign of whats to come. When all the workers of the world unite we can overcome the iron hand and destroy any fascist.

NEVER BACK DOWN FOR THEY ARE WEAK AND WE THE WORKERS ARE STRONG

As the saying goes “I was once young and poor but after decades of hard work and perseverance I am no longer young”

Heres the thing, it strongly depends what you mean by “simplification” and tbh im not sure that would be good for Linux. Im all in favor of adding accessibility features and making desktops more complete but sometimes complexity or being different is good. I love tiling for example, I love how comsic implemets tiling. However tiling isnt naturally intuitive to Windows users, does that mean we need to abandon it in favor of “simplification”? Do we need to abandon the system of distro maintained repos and package managers because “its too complicated”?

I suppose my point is that we should make Linux more accessible by lowering the skill floor to use it but it should not and does not require lowering the skill ceiling for advanced users like me. I love the focus on TUI software and I love the terminal (that doesn’t mean GUI software should get less love, it means I would rather not see TUI packages sacrificed).

Furthermore I cannot speak for anyone but myself but I personally try to help people in matrix/discord chats and places like this. However sometimes I will come across someone whos use case doesn’t fit Linux. Maybe they need a specific software, maybe they’re using niche proprietary hardware that they need, but I personally refuse to suggest Linux to someone if it wont be good for them. If someone tells me “hey I use Linux but I need some software like adobe” I would suggest they reinstall Windows. In addition before I reccomend Linux to someone I tell them that Linux isnt Windows, I make it clear there are downsides that need to be taken with the upsides and sometimes things wont work exactly the same.

TLDR: Im all for people using Linux, however we shouldn’t lie to ourselves and others

Absolutely agreed, I find it extremely telling that most people who say that have never personally contributed nor donated. Its ok to have expectations but its not ok to make demands from volunteers, thats why so many devs get burnt out and leave.

Absolutely this, im all in favor of making Linux more accessible but we dont need to become a Windows clone

Woah, so criminals have the right to fair representation, a fair trial, and in some cases a court of ones peers? :0

Naurr, who cares about constitutionally protected rights like due process when you’re a dictator. Those freedoms just get in the way of turning America into a christofascist dystopia making America great again

You may indeed :3

Agreed, im Jewish and my “white” status strongly depends who im speaking to

Ah yes as we know people in the 19th century didn’t purchase sweets like coca cola (1886) and Turkish delight (conflicting data but could go back to 1777, the Byzantine empire, or sefavid Persia but possibly earlier). Also as we know the concept of markets is a crazy new idea and we have absolutely no extensive written records of ancient civillians having markets where people would barter and trade goods.
