Yeah, who knew an open source platform would be used by open source enthusiasts?

Looking at you c/linuxsucks
GNU\Linux awareness is a good thing for everyone! If everone was aware; we would have better alternatives across the board.
It's more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it's a brothel.
Hey! Hookers are street working girls.
You find whores at brothels.
Who are you so wise in the ways of sex workers?
And escorts?
I can't believe my sleep addled brain read this as "e-scorts" like it was some new gaming thing.
Careful, some tech bro will take that and get a billion dollars in venture capital for "eScorts: Uber for hookers".

Lol still trying to decide if the linuxsucks community is entirely genuine.
Considering the mod will ban you for expressing literally the same sentiment as the OP and was posting multiple time daily, I think they are.
Must be a masochist
Very strange because the shoe fits. Most Linux users are masochists in some way. They actually enjoy understanding and configuring their software.
Hey baby, I got all the distros and we can try them all, all night long.
Even Gentoo? 👉☺️👈
Why are all the hookers using linux??? What is happening!!!!
Heya honey, looking for a good time? I use Arch btw.
Let's be honest, that sounds like heaven.
If hookers could talk Linux to me, or even better, help me resolve my fucking display issue, I'd be giving them money hand over fist.
Literally
And figuratively
#SexWorkIsRealWork
Heck, I'd probably be a repeat customer and have them help me rice my Linux install.
Who's got time for sex when there's ricing to be done!
You can do both. A fresh install and sex take about the same amount of time.
Look at Mr. I Can Last 20 Minutes over here.

Some of us still have Hard Drives. O_o

I don't care that Linux is talked about here. It's just insufferable having people commenting with this superior attitude about it making it seem like the second coming. It's just as bad as aggressive vegans and cryptobros.
Hope you like your new saviour, Crappy AI Generated Arch Jesus!
Does that really happen though? Maybe I just don't notice it.
I guess it comes up in any thread about windows, in the same way a post about "google chrome adds whatever anti-feature" is going to have comments saying "firefox is way better".
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord Tux?
Look, I got enough for two hours with one whore, or enough for 10 minutes with a dozen different whores.
I actually don't know where I was going with that, but something a long the lines of so many different distros and only so much time in a day.
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.
You also have to run the right Linux distro. Try telling Lemmy you run Ubuntu.
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.
On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it's a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).
I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.
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.
Microsoft makes stupid decision for Windows = There's always someone writing up paragraphs of how they switched to Linux via Mint, like they're about to convert swathes of people to do the same. Insert meme where Obama is giving himself a medal.
I think the biggest problem is the fact that it is a three-pronged Choice.
Where two of them are fighting each other to become the biggest dumpster fire and the last one is just trying to function.
Its like the American political system. 😂

They're escorts. They're only hookers when they're dead.
It gives a whole new meaning to my buddy's Ford escort.
