Don't need to. I actually care about other people and don't like people getting fucked over by nonsense.

    Oh I love this one! The guy who uses Hate every third word and call linux users names on the regular says "I actually care about people!"

    Thats hilarious. You are an asshole, you don't care about anyone, as long as the trolling is fun!

    I mentioned it in another post, but arguably the worst part of all of this is not that he's failing at arguing against FOSS (which he is failing spectacularly), but what he's actually trying to do is discredit the devs and their passion and effort that build all the cool, fun, and interesting solutions we have.

    Standard capitalist bootlicker mentality though, steal ideas, repackage them as new products with a pricetag, a subscription, maybe an expansion, dlc, or microtransaction too. The only innovation they're good at is providing a worse product for more money.

    I get the impression he is software dev of some sort, that is not very good at and doesn't make much money at it. So he lashes out and complains. Or he literally is just a troll.

    Potentially, yeah. I saw he mentioned contributing to Osm and complained about all the rules they had to contribute. (Ironic considering he came at me trying to say FOSS and F-Droid projects are entirely unsafe and uncurated lol.) But seems like he's at least technically literate enough to mess around.

    I wonder if there's a masochistic streak in there too. Looking through the profile he constantly posts and replies and gets trounced but still keeps coming back for more. Even weirder is the linuxsucks community he maintains is essentially just him. Making/posting memes, shitting on Linux and promoting windows with next to no comments or engagement...just downvotes. Yelling angrily into the void almost.

    He seems to have particular hardons for:

    • Anything Linux (obviously)
    • F-Droid as an alternative
    • Anything FOSS
    • Communism - anything that doesn't have a profit motive or is about organizing/community effort gets classified as "commie garbage" or people who are "lazy commies" and don't want to work

    Very capitalist, very conservative, he may be older, possibly if in the US he may be a Reagan republican if not an outright MAGAt. Which may have been his inspiration for his pejorative of LiGNUt. Which I assume is Linux + GNU + nut?

    I really wonder how FOSS hurt him so. It's quite the grudge regardless of the circumstances. Or maybe a hyperfixation? Dunno 🤷‍♂️
