Ah yeah, I remember it fully now with that tid bit firing up the neurons.

is this a quote? I could have sworn I’ve heard this before.

PS … also if this sounds like a corporate press release to you folks, we still punk 🤘😜🤘

"YES FELLOW KIDS, WE ARE ALSO, HOW YOU SAY, STILL DOWN WITH “IT” "

They don’t care about their OS until something happens that makes them care. *

I dont give a shit about my OS.

I didnt switch cause I saw the blessed light of open source software or anything like that.

I switched cause I fucking hated Windows 10, and absolutely fucking loathe windows 11 and the direction they are taking their operating systems. and my choice was to take Windows 10/11, or to go Linux… and I went Linux.

So you can say I switched under duress

Yup, and I’ve spent hours troubleshooting dumb fucking issues on Linux servers that often end up with me just blasting it away and starting again because the further I get into it, the more shit I find broken.

This is exactly what I did with windows (mostly 98 and XP) when I had a problem. Troubleshooting and fixing always took longer than just nuking and reinstalling. So I kept all my data on a separate partition/drive, with backups of bookmarks/emails/etc, so I could quickly and easily restore back to where I was.

Windows 7 was the bomb though, So fucking stable and issue free. Think I only had to nuke due to problems twice in the whole time I ran it, every other install was due to hardware failures/migrations. Such a good OS.

Intentionally ignoring the sarcasm so you can pretend to be a victim. How original.

TIL any video thats ever gotten popular or viral was thanks entirely and 100% due to the thumbnail and not at all due to the content.

I’m an absolute mouth breathing imbecile, with no IT/SysAdmin/Otherwise technical background or knowledge outside of what I gained by just being a typical windows user.

I cold turkey switched to linux with relatively few issues with nothing but a weekend of sporadic research done beforehand. Learning curve for everyday shit hasnt been that deep or curvy.

Its not 1997. Linux is not that hard to use, even for gaming. Especially with some modern distros built specifically for the task (like Nobara)

No, its not for everyone, but its not this incomprehensibly obtuse and mystical monstrosity that people try to constantly paint it as, 30 years ago maybe, but not anymore. as long as you can follow basic instructions and have a modicum of common sense (Which is asking a lot from the average person, I know…)

idk why.

You know why.

Do you think he’d have gotten as many eyes on the video if it went smoothly and he read what he was supposed to?

Exactly. 15 bucks is my retail cost.

I bet mass producing those vesa feet to include in the box wouldnt even add 5 bucks to the total cost, and no one would care or notice the price, and would love the stronger, sturdier base that doesnt require the entire USS Nimitz just to set the damn thing down on.

yes yes, you are super upset and offended that your authoritarian team has been compared to another authoritarian team and want to argue on a dictionary technicality that your authoritarianism is better than theirs, so everyone ignores the actual history and practice of it that makes your teams mass slaughter just as bad as that other teams mass slaughter.

Probably the dumbest take, Congrats. Go check the garbage for your cake.

I got a VESA stand for my grandparents TV for 15 bucks. Solid steel and sturdy as fuck.

If we were all human and capable of love, this authoritarian shit wouldnt exist.

I really don’t give a flying fuck what label it is or what their prefered uniform is, or what their favorite color is.

They’re all the same pieces of shit that want to ruin society, the world, and the species, for their own personal flavor of power.

Yes, exactly like that is what i was talking about.

Its unavoidable considering the creator of lemmy is a nazi.
