    Honestly that sounds like a jerk move.

    Quite the opposite,

    Why would you force someone to use Linux?

    In what world is that force ? He wasnt holding a gun to her head, the opposite, he’s freeing her from stupidity.

    Decent people help others, they don’t go along with their stupid ideas before at least trying to convince them its a stupid idea. An allegory perhaps, your friend comes over, they have a 1/2 dozen beers, they’re going to drive home… In your world it seems it’s force to ask them not to and to stay over.

    It isn’t your computer and if you are helping them you should do what they want

    Helping them is the phrase you seem to be confused about. It’s his sister, not his boss at the office.








  • They won’t, they’re immensely supportiv"

    I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. .-- John Stuart Mille

    These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

    1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

    2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

    3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

    1. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

    2. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
