They are about 5% friendly which is about the size of the market share. But seriously, I don’t recal them being unfriendly. They ride the Valve Linux hype train quite hard.

Oh it’s you. The reason mainstream adoption among normal users isn’t here yet. Glad to meet you Satan. 🤝

When Blizzard said “Do You Guys Not Have Phones?” the problem was obviously not the quality of the video presented, it was the topic at hand and made perfect sense to have all the dislikes. It makes no sense to take that away from users.

I prefer and always have preferred a vote system like we have here. Forums made paralel conversations impossible to follow, gave a bigger voice to trolls and made finding information in big threads difficult. I absolutely hated the common answer to a question being “search the forum”. I already have Jared, the search function is trash and the information is scattered and outdated.

What aspect I do miss is the fact that threads stayed relevant for more than 24hrs. I think a combination of the two systems would work for a forum 2.0, where ranking is based on activity and votes, so a post gets pushed back up in ranking if it’s still active and relevant, instead of just taking raw votes and age in considerarion, but also the comments within are grouped in conversations based on who replied to who and can move up and down based on activity and age.

Can’t really remember the last time it wasn’t a horrible time to build a PC.

Was it really easier to post this question instead of reading the article?

It’s making fun of Christianity. The fact you didn’t get it doesn’t make it not funny.

This is basically my take on it. Windows has conditioned me to ignore any and all warnings. It would be super easy for me fall into a trap like that on Linux.

This is basically a hit piece that has been in many ways disproven. Linus and his team are a bunch of apes but that means they are mostly incompetent, not actually malicious.

It works on my Firefox mobile on Android.

What constitutes good? And what makes an iPad good? I had an iPad pro about 4 years ago and I hated it and its’ idiotic appleisms. People were paroting that iPad is the way to go back then as well and I fell for it. I switched to a Samsung Tab S7+ and couldn’t be happier. I still use it daily, it does everything I need it to do and it does it better than the iPad.

I still remember the time of the great Miele shilling by the vacuum repair guy. Every thread about vacuums had the same conversation about how only this single company is the best company of all. It worked, my brother bought one of those vacuums.

Because it is. Downsizing doesn’t work if your next downsize is living on the streets.

So immch is dead before it even matured enough to be reliable? Sad.

It’s the meat heads obsessed with the topic. The only reason most vegans would mention their food preference is because food is part of most peoples life’s 3 times a day. But when discovered the questioning is relentless.

Considering the general conversations that are posted and popular here I expect I know more about Europe in general and some countries in it in particular that the average Lemmy user.

I’ve not seen anything about 3d printing getting traction here nor snowboarding so I’ll add those two to the list.

I most probably don’t know more about Linux than the average user here.

Sure, yes and true until we get to the last sentence. Anyone is absolutely not capable. There are many reasons why some people will never get to the mindset required to sustain any of these superpowers no matter what because the genes and brain wiring you end up with are more powerful than any external factors.

In case you also wonder like op why no one likes you, it’s probably the elite snobbery and superiority complex.
