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.

So theres BSD, truth.

Based and truth-pilled.

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

If you use arch you have to start knitting

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.

Yep, as written in the manuscript:
"Stallman's Sluts and Torvalds' Thots,
shall all receive some thigh-high socks."

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

Does repeating commands count or do they have to be entered manually?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 minutes ago

It's rather a r9k kind of deal

Better get to work then, its gonna be a cold winter.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

I knew all those Linux users were dirty sluts.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

As long as there's blackjack too.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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 3 hours 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] 8 points 4 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 3 hours 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.

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

Looking at you c/linuxsucks

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 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.

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.

The number one reason not to switch is "I don't want to". And I dislike that Windows users keep repeating decades old solved issues as excuses instead of being honest.

'But muh games' only very few don't work OOB or at all.

'I need this software' most works flawlessly under Wine.

'It crashes' exactly as often as Windows with faulty hardware or bug in a driver.

'Hardware isn't plug&play' more hardware works with Linux without installing drivers.

Jusy say "I dont want to give it a shot" or "I'm in the minority that can't switch", but don't bullshit people about Linux requiring cmd to work. And those people then suggest editing registry to remove ads... It's dishonest and in bad faith.

FOSS is the only way forward to stop complete enshittification of the digital space, like it or not.

I also I hate Microsoft and Apple with all my soul.

I get that most don't care, but that doesn't mean supporting those companies is good.
