ok now listen π the path to maximum joy is twofold:
- make sure you're very happy
- make sure to be informed about others unhappiness and ridicule it this is another offset that must be maximized

Is it me, or does this format not make sense for this meme?
Now I use linux and I'm still mad at what microsoft is doing!
Now that I use Linux I'm often angry about what I'm doing to my own system.
Yeah But if it's gonna get messed up I wanna at least do it myself lol
Same.
So what's the statement here? As long as it doesn't affect you, you shouldn't care about how it affects others? That's kind of a shitty way of thinking.
It's a joke dude
I don't think that's the statement. I think it's that they were hoping that they could ignore it but weren't about to.
In a sense I wouldn't berate coworkers and family for smoking and drinking stating facts about the detriment to their health every chance I get. I'd lend a hand when they need me the most, when they've looked in the mirror long enough, when they are looking for change.
It's a fact I've come to realize some people don't want to change others have a limit they reach before they can change. If your always there to help when they need it, the outcome will almost always be better.
I don't like being told what's best for me or what I should be doing as much as the next guy so I don't really bring it up unless they ask.
I used to be angry at Microsoft. Now I'm angry at Microsoft, Red Hat and Canonical.
Red Hat
No, you're angry at IBM. When news of the IBM acquisition broke, sector veteran colleagues I'm close with moaned and groaned that IBM was sure to do something to piss everyone off again, which was apparently their habit a couple decades back. Sure enough, they could not have been more accurate in their assessment.
Turns out IBM is three hot messes in a trenchcoat and always has been. Hence why they have already lost the Quantum wars and likely the GenAI wars as well. One AI vet I know says they're posed to even lose the AI war altogether, which is pathetic given the groundwork provided by Watson alone.

International, business, and machines?
And amazon, apple, meta, nvidia, half the gaming industry, ...
I donβt use Windows at home but I still have to deal with it and their βfeaturesβ when I work with my spouseβs desktop and at my workplace. God I hate it.
I have it at work, it makesme feel young again, feeling the OS speed like in the year 2000.
Half the time I have the circle of waiting, and right clicks can take up to 40 seconds before it shows the contextual menu, like wtf.
Linux is really just the kernel the OS runs on. What people dislike are some of the stupid choices a distribution's maintainers make. Like, Ubuntu used to be a great entry-level operating system for people who wanted to get into Linux but didn't want to ditch all the things they understood from Windows or MacOS. It provided a level of comfort and ease of use. Which is great, and something the Linux community needs. But then Canonical started injecting snap package bloatware with everything and it's just a mess. You have as little control over snap updates as you do Windows updates unless you completely disable the service, which is hardly trivial for a new user.

Tbh it probably shouldnβt be trivial for new users to disable updates. Iβve seen way too many Windows/macOS users running a years out-of-date version of Chrome.
In Linux you have to do sudo systemctl disable snapd, which produces a warning about snapd.socket. New users sometimes get a little freaked out about disabling stuff in systemd, especially after they find out what systemd is and does and how important it is. They're afraid of bricking their installation and you have to be like "no, that won't happen. Yes, I'm sure it won't happen. No, you don't need to reboot. Just replace disable with stop in those commands again and it won't run anymore. Yes, I'm sure it'll be fine." So the commands are trivial, but the psychological toll of doing stuff via the command line that you perceive as dangerous, for truly novice Linux users, isn't to be underestimated.
Did you respond to the right comment? I was trying to say that instructing new/novice users to disable snap updates is probably a bad idea.
I read that as "should be trivial," not "shouldn't." In my defense, I don't have my glasses on right now. π€
I've been running Kubuntu for years now; it's convenient to use for me for professional reasons, but I've never used to snap to get new software. I've never disabled the the service. Are there flavors of 'Buntu that are "unsnapped", if you will? I know I should just search for it, but I thought I'd just ask.
I don't care what Microsoft does any more it's their OS. What really grinds my gears is the fact that people are so complacent and just down right fuckin submissive to a corporate entity
It's the support angle, for me. I seriously don't have to worry at all whether a piece of software supports Windows or not. And in my special case, my school doesn't help with troubleshooting unless you're using Windows or Mac because "of the many variations of Linux," they said.
But that's kinda typical of everything, how's tech support going to help you troubleshoot something that has a million variables? I can fix things, but can the typical user? Definitely not.
I used to be cynical about the findom stuff, but I guess some people really get off on being forced to subscribe to their own machine.
I'm a sub
So am I but windows isnβt a good domme
