Why are all the hookers using linux??? What is happening!!!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 37 minutes ago

As long as both remain free and open source I'll allow it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 49 minutes ago

Because they are wise in the ways of the world.

Why do the hookers get to decide it’s a brothel?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 minutes ago

Oh, I'm sorry about the Linux thing, Russia.

Frankly, I don't have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it's preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don't have a desire to care.

I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 minutes ago

Second.

That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.

Hear ye, Hear ye! The local Linux preacher approaches! Hide all those whom value thou sanity!!

It's true that were total sluts aren't we?

We're never faithful to one distribution. Always hopping from one to the next until it doesn't satisfy us no more.

I prefer to think of it as an open relationship. I have my home distro, my work distro, and if either of them aren't in the mood, there is an wide variety of other distros to get the job done.

And if I'm feeling really kinky, there's always Windows.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 minutes ago

I thought you were going to say Gentoo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 44 minutes ago (2 children)

You make Windows sound like butt stuff and BDSM

Subs aren't in the sudoers file

Don't windows-shame me!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I only use Mint. But I have 4 of them now.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 hours ago

Really I'm just disappointed in the lack of blackjack here.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

They're escorts. They're only hookers when they're dead.

To be fair... There are too many in a brothel...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Right... Nobody ever complained

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

I run both. everyone hates me :')

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You run Linux in a brothel?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

He runs a brothel on Linux.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 hours ago

That's just Linux with extra steps

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

They have great "up time".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I run both. everyone hates me :')

You see, little @[email protected], when a man loves a woman…. Birds…. Bees…. yada yada yada…. You get a baby brother or sister.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

An investment in yourself

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 hours ago

if only those people had seen reddit in the really early days

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Never seen anyone complaining about Linux on here or on Reddit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 42 minutes ago

You must not browse All much then. There's a community here called LinuxSucks which I ended up blocking because it just wasn't very funny but holy hell they were on a posting spree the other day.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

More like kinky sex slaves .... they're all either cheap or work for free.

They'll complain and give you a hard time during the whole experience but they'll never leave you alone because it's their kink and it turns them on.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Oh yes daddy, do me harder!

Wait, what did you just call me? 😄

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

When every other topic by windows users on lemmy is "windows sucks so much. Now they did X and Y, and everything is shit" linux users are going to reply with "use Linux".

It's like hearing incels complain about never losing their virginity. The brothel is right around the corner, just get it over with.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

That is so not the experience of most of us who just don’t give a fuck about what OS other people use. I love my Mac but I have no desire to talk about my OS like it’s a hobby any more than I talk about the kind of car I drive.

I had to block linuxmemes because it was so spammy. I’m about to do the same to Linuxsucks as well.

But for the record Linux users are the CrossFit/vegans of the tech world. We all know you love your OS and none of us care.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

I feel that. I like Linux, but I also like using the right tool for the job, and sometimes that's actually Windows. The rates of Linux talk here reminds me of Reddit like 15 years ago. It's nice, but also I forgot how weird it is to be in such a Linuxy echochamber

[–] [email protected] 2 points 44 minutes ago

my Mac

I have no desire to talk about my OS

Cause. Effect.

😀

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

So where do those of us who don't think Windows is the literal worst OS ever fit into your analogy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Probably not in the metaphorical brothel.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 33 minutes ago

I should have mentioned that I still love Linux though...
