Yeah but some urban legends deserve to be kept alive for some time.

Wrong number… right energy
Funnily this post is so meta as it is trying to ascribe multiple behavior to what looks like a single entity called Lemmy whereas it’s a town square that anyone can post to.
Not aware of the toxicity… any starting point for this storyline?
not available in India too
This is on the people for using a discourse space that is not being maintained. I agree only that recent actions by it’s leadership team has be suspect.
Ooh it’s one of those “fact-check” articles. Welp… pack it up boys…
It’s going to be quite rare… and I do like that we have better visual warning to users that something went wrong instead of a wall of colorless text.
Being good has nothing to do with having to maintain your company’s code base that’s in Oracle’s Java SE 1.6.
You can’t just design your way out of a conflict whose solution is to change either the existing system architecture or change Java versions,
both suggestions will get you laughed out of the room.
It’s not a fair comparison when you trot out good ol photoshop. Can you find an alternative to blender? Yes you can run blender on windows too. It works flawlessly. Linux being non-viable only affects you and that shill.
It’s definitely a case of you barking up the wrong tree.
Shouldn’t you at least understand the reason why it is that way? Or are you going to blame Linux when there’s no single entity behind it?
Microsoft struck shady deals with laptop vendors to make them microsoft exclusive. Steve Ballmer effectively said Linux is cancer (probably blaming GPL license). They let people pirate their software so future technologists grew up with windows and other windows software (adobe did the same with photoshop, now it’s industry monopoly)
A community OS like GNU/Linux competes with Microsoft who has billions in the bank. It’s only in the past few years that Linux has seen wider hardware vendor adoption at all.
It’s fine if you think Linux is non-viable… but speak for yourself. Don’t go around trolling people who are perfectly fine with Linux.
Edit: if you don’t care about anything I just wrote then you’re just a horse with blinders on and I am wasting my time.
You’re barking up the wrong tree then. I don’t know why you would do that when you claim to be a pragmatic person. What’s exactly your beef? Care to tell me?
You should blame software makers and hardware vendors. Not Linux. There isn’t a Linux company that pays for vendor lock-in.
LemmyIsFantastic is a corporate shill or an unpaid troll. Don’t bother wasting your breath.
This particular user seems to be a corporate shill. I hope they are getting paid for their advocacy of the malware infested OS that steals private data of paid users. At least then they wouldn’t be dumb. This user is consistently arguing that piracy is theft in other threads but will go bat for corporations. Companies that have stolen a lot more from tax money, environment, wage theft, lobbying politicians to artificially stiffle competition, lying to congress about data theft, etc.
Edit: I meant LemmyIsFantastic not you
Hmm you seem to denigrate people for not understanding tech while seemingly giving up your privacy and $100 for Microsoft.
Do you understand not being ripped off?
That fixed it for you no? Why are you still bitching about it like a whiney little kid. Go cry to Nvidia.
Apparently being responsible for your own computer is too much to ask. It’s not so difficult to manage a linux install. In fact, its much easier and smoother if you are willing to become familiar with how things work. But whining that linux OS broke like Linus Sebastian from LTT when you can’t read and take responsibility is like complaining that the car didn’t save you when you crashed a manual honda civic expecting it to perform like a autopilot car. Its asinine and illogical.
We all grew up with windows and became familiar with it as that was the only choice. To insult linux and its users just because you want 100% perfection from an OS people build as a hobby for free is quite ignorant and entitled. If you don’t like linux stop commenting on programming forums.
The year of the linux desktop for me started in 2009 when I first installed ubuntu and it has been the year of the linux desktop for me since then. I have learnt to fix flaws in my system. I know what its limitations are. I don’t expect linux to fix all my problems. But i certainly do recommend it to newbies even if it might frustrate them. I expect them to take it or leave it. I don’t insult their intelligence by assuming they definitely need handholding.
Microsoft poured several billions by now into windows and it’s only getting worse day by day. If you suggest that Windows is best for daily users then it is clear that you’re just insulting people’s intelligence instead of uplifting them.
Linux is fantastic for running shit. It’s pretty terrible for most normal users to use.
Skill issue.
Yeah fair enough.
