Nah windows is a landlord.

Plasma all the way bby

Windows: Just four blue squares

Apple: Same shape, no colour whatsoever

Linux: 🏳️‍⚧️

I don’t think that was the point of the post.

It was more “Never fall for a ‘things were good back then’ narrative because actually shit sucked even more in the past”

It’s true, the past sucked even more than now, and now sucks too, but their clothes were prettier–

My computer was trash. I migrated out of necessity. It took 40 minutes to boot into Windows XP. Old-timey Lubuntu kept that computer alive for another 5 years.

When I got a real computer, I found that using Windows was unpleasant – So when Proton started to mature, I switched back to Linux (cuz hey, vidya gaems).

… Then I became an adult and the political radicalisation began.

I’m not “obssessed” so much as I am politically motivated, so I guess I’m an evangelist in a way. If there were ten other mature open source operating systems I’d shill all of them. As it is there’s Linux and BSD. So those are the ones I shill.

Generally I’ll pester anyone willing to listen to get as far from Big Tech’s walled gardens as their life necessities allow them.

I’m not a tech person, I think most Linux people are? Instead I’m just someone who studied basic sociology and history, and can see the kind of power that walled-garden tech can (and HAS, in recent times) give to very few people.

I’m so traumatized by how tech everything goes, that I read “Firefox is going to try (…)” and immediately braced for some dystopian bullshit.

Then saw “Wayland” and relaxed. I have no hot takes about Wayland lmao.

Finally: ClosedSubtitles

EDIT: Also, MAN, a lot of straight up bootlicking in this thread. What the fuck kind of pirates are you? lmao

Okay so 18 pounds of cocaine, 12 pounds of crack, and 7 male strippers. But make sure none of them are white, I can’t see the cocaine on them if they are.

They “started maturing” like quite a few years ago, so yeah.

Was the latter, used Linux because my computer sucked. So it was for some four years.

Once I got a real computer… Going back to Windows hurt. But I stuck to it because gaming.

As soon as Proton/DXVK started maturing, I knew I’d go full Linux forever.

Reddit commits suicide, more at 11.

Libredirect pointing to invidious/piped. Just go.

No! There are only people so obese they cannot physically move themselves and people who look like perfect hollywood starts without a single fat cell in their bodies! Anyone who tells you there is such thing as a wide spectrum of life is lying to you! The internet told me so!

Imma be a weirdo here: I use Emby.

Well I’ll be thrice-damned.

Worth a try I guess.

I won’t disagree – Glasses look nice on my face. But see my other reply.

Ah, that was never my problem with glasses.

The problem is that I am a very sweaty, oily person by nature.

The interaction between this and the glasses is that the oils get into those little nose pad thingies and eventually into my eyes, causing immense eye irritation. The only way to avoid it is to take a break every hour to wash face and glasses lest my eyes turn read and teary.

Generally annoying, doubly so given how ADHD I am and my tendency to either hyperfocus and forget about it entirely until I straight up can’t see, or to move off a task only to find myself unable to start it again.

And right now I can afford to only wear my glasses if I’m like. Doing a lot of reading with really tiny text or if I’m driving (which I rarely do because I’m fortunate enough to work from home and live at a place where most services are accessible by foot) – But my eyesight has a tendency to worsen as I age, and I have no idea how I’ll cope once it gets so bad I need them all the time.

I am comfortably millenial.

I still do this.

Glasses are a pain in the arse, man.
