    Talk about projection…

    I’m all for pointing and making fun of the questionable stuff that Unix/Linux does, some as old as the first versions!, but that comm is just the mod/owner haturbaiting against Linux.

      MT is going to continue anyway. Might as well show newbies what a crazy loser they are, so at least the posts all get downvoted into oblivion as they post them

        That’s the attention he gets off on. It’s not like he’s coming off as sane and tricking people into agreeing with him. He’s coming off like someone preaching on a street corner who isn’t even facing the right direction.

        Just ignore him. If you can’t do that, condescend to him. But yeah he’s getting off on the attention, so don’t feed the troll

          The difference is, the street corner people DO get attention, and later get noticed on places like facebook and such, and people can hear them (they just need to play victim)… if a tree falls in a forest and nobody sees it, does it matter?

          If their posts stay negative, they’ll probably just leave, because even people subscribed won’t see them

            They’re a troll - and fundemental to being a troll is taking positive reinforcement from negative reactions. Thats more or less their whole thing. This guy keeps doing it because posts like these keep demonstrating that he is getting attention paid to him - as do things like his posts getting copious downvotes. Ignoring trolls really is the best way to handle them.

    Dude tried to argue with me that ECC memory is why windows is better.

    Yes, he’s that stupid.

    He kept trying to argue that anything open source is “commie garbarge.”

    You can see me completely destroy all of his arguments and he runs away like the MAGA bitch he is. Pathetic.

      I’ve interacted with MadThumbz before, I was still on Reddit when they got banned for admin abuse. I’m pretty sure they’re a troll, but I’ve blocked them regardless

      He said that on Lemmy, an open source platform, hosted mostly (I assume) on Linux servers? Brilliant

        Yup, and I asked him at least 5 times if he believes that why is he not only on Lemmy, but moderates his own community on what he calls “commie garbage.”

        He ran away every single time.

      Pretty sure I responded to the same post.

      He started saying Linux needed ecc for a while, windows didn’t, which is absolutely ridiculous given that a lot of Mac’s needed ecc, and windows server explicitly recommends ecc.

      My Linux Android phone doesn’t use ecc either, or people’s Samsung tv

      One of the big sticking points stopping me from to switching to Linux is that I don’t get to do the incredibly cool crime of stealing from Bill Gates. I considered switching to RHEL, but stealing from IBM isn’t quite as cool.

        Pfft, look at this guy, who wants to buy only genuine IBM PCs and not PC-clones! I bet he pays for his usenet subscription, and sends his extra AOL free trial CDs back so they can be distributed to users who need it.

        :P

        You steal the data BG could’ve gathered if you used his OS
        And marketshare
        And (eventually) attention from developers

      Presumably the reason criminals would want to use Linux is that privacy focused distros exist that would make them harder to identify, as well as Linux just generally not broadcasting telemetry to corps that can give it to authorities at the drop of a hat.

    I feel like this is probably a disinformation bot. Why would a human being have such strong feelings about an OS that allows people to circumvent corporate control/surveillance on their PC?

      Yeah, it’s either that or someone who has decided their special interest is hating linux. If it’s the user that I think it is, when I looked at their history earlier, pretty much every post of theirs is over the top anti-linux.

      Though I am glad to see that most of the accounts I suspect of astroturfing are generally downvoted to the negatives here. Though I do wonder if this place will end up being a training ground for propaganda that works on the segments of the population that are highly represented here that don’t seem as susceptible to the shit that would get eaten up on FB or gain some traction on reddit. Actually, windows love probably does well on reddit since it’s made up of people who haven’t gotten tired enough of the enshitification to leave and are probably doing the same with windows.

      That… might even be why they enshitified it so much for no apparent benefit at the cost of many users that contributed positively. Those contributions might not have been seen as so positive if they responded to marketing bullshit negatively.

      Oh… But they CAN be.

      I recall at one of the conferences (or during), maybe 20 years, someone was apparently selling a porn video training people how to use nmap.

    Suggested it might be more fun praising an OS you actually lke, instead of ~500 posts on something you hate. Am now banned
