I like Linux. I like Linux users. I don't like people who think Linux is the only viable OS to use, though. That's just obnoxious and exhausting.

Speaking of, I recently switched to Linux, do the thigh high socks just show up or do I have to order them myself?

You need to be a naughty slut that deserves a spanking for that to appear.

You get a choice of free maid/nurse/lab assistant outfit as well.

You unlock them once you enter your 10,000th terminal command.

I knew all those Linux users were dirty sluts.

It's more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it's a brothel.

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

As long as there's blackjack too.

GNU\Linux awareness is a good thing for everyone! If everone was aware; we would have better alternatives across the board.

Hey! Hookers are street working girls.

You find whores at brothels.

Who are you so wise in the ways of sex workers?

And escorts?

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

Escorts are luxury accessories you take to upscale events for "smoozin & boozin".

They'll even fuck you if you gain their interest or are rich enough. Think of them like geisha. Beautiful, seductive, multifaceted and cultured.

I can't believe my sleep addled brain read this as "e-scorts" like it was some new gaming thing.

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

Careful, some tech bro will take that and get a billion dollars in venture capital for "eScorts: Uber for hookers".

How quickly can you write up a proposal? We can have GPT get us a mockup of the ui by tomorrow and be ready for production by Friday...

Did I say all of that correctly?

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

You know.... That's not a bad idea.

We had call girls back in the 80s and 90s. They were good as long as you had some blow.

Now, I'm not so sure. I guess they are traveling onlyfans blowing through metro cities like tumbleweeds.

Lol still trying to decide if the linuxsucks community is entirely genuine.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Even Gentoo? 👉☺️👈

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.

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

You also have to run the right Linux distro. Try telling Lemmy you run Ubuntu.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago

Hope you like your new saviour, Crappy AI Generated Arch Jesus!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

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".
