I’m not even a fan or advocate of linux. I find the whole system to be confusing, and lacking in compatability.

That being said, it REALLY feels like somehow linux is controlling microsoft to make windows as bad as humanly possible to force people to switch. I know they won’t, but it really feels like microsoft is almost DARING people to switch.

What? Do you NOT do business regularly with Roberto from Futurama?

Holy shit! A sane rational Lemmy user in the /c/Fediverse community! Someone who sees the bigger picture, and isn’t just reacting to this small niche area of the internet.

Look, I love Lemmy, but I can’t sit by and act like just because something is a better service, and makes logical sense to use, that people will ever have even heard of it. That’s not how PEOPLE work. Yes, Lemmy is better than reddit. But no, Lemmy will not overtake reddit in usercount maybe in my lifetime. Unless reddit gets sold, and then plummets into death like myspace did. Then Lemmy wins by default, but it’s not the same thing.

And everyone (well, everyone but you I guess) most people on this community seems to miss all that.

I’m not sure anyone mentions bluesky as an alternative to big tech.

Pretty sure they only mention it as an alternative to musk/X.

Their arguments tend to come down to “just don’t write bad code”.

Oooooh, that’s a good stratagy! Write that down! Write that down!

Oh, heres the thing. Even if you WERE to convince Trump that his own direct decisions is what led to the deaths of hundreds of people? He would just shrug and not care.

I’m so confused. How would quoting someone’s words bully them? Maybe I’m not getting something. You’re talking like I say something on mastodon, you quote what I said, with me attributed to the quote, and that bullys me? Or am I missing something? I feel like I’m missing something.
