      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

      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.

    My Linux user is not a criminal, they maybe conspiracy theorist, liar, commie, cheater, criminal but they are not a pornstar.

    Edit: forgot conspiracy theorist

      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.

    OOP after shooting L1T Wendell: “What? It was obvious! He’s the red commie. Watch, he’ll turn red any second now! …Aaaaaaany second now. See, red! No-wait, that’s blood.”

    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.

      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

      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.

    LOL This person is a bit unhinged, and cannot recognize that Linux distros are viable for just about everyone who wants to manage their computer. And not have a big corporation interfere with what they can and cannot do with their computer. Cheaters, criminals, and all sorts use a variety of OS.

    I just happen to be a geek that enjoys Linux, specifically, Garuda Linux. A great distro.

      Does Garuda Linux play “Sandstorm” every time you boot it?

      Edit: no wait, crap, it’s Darude isn’t it.

        It doesn’t matter who it was. I know the song you meant, and now it is stuck in my head all day.

        Thankfully it’s a fairly enjoyable riff to spontaneously interrupt me any time I leave my brain free for a few seconds :)

      On my side, I believe people can use whatever they want (even TempleOS). I use Fedora, but Windows in a VM for work. I used to sell Apple gear (and, Apple hardware is the ONLY hardware I’ve ever come across with really weird hardware design issues, like wireless mice that can’t be plugged in and use).

      The irony is though, almost everyone uses Linux every day somehow (whether its embedded in some of their devices, like their router, or they use Android).

      Also, this Lemmy instance probably runs on Linux…

        Yeah, I do think that people can and should use whatever. As long as they are fine with the shortcomings of said OS, and it still works well with their workflow. I am starting to just give a shit about what I am using and only protesting the worst garbage big corpos are pulling (I pay attention to what is happening on other OS). Yeah, Linux is everywhere, as it can be made to be small and useful. So while one might use a MacOS or Windows device, they rely on Linux to connect to the web. I like Android because of the Linux Kernel underneath it all, but, I really would like to get a phone that is open source…Heh. One day, perhaps. As I use a Samsung at the moment.

          I have a light pilot licence… The crap I’ve flown, probably only has an OS for the GPS/radio stack (Garmin).

          Technically, not even sure they even have proper ECU’s…

    I admit I’ve tried gently poking into OOP’s psyche and they do genuinely seem committed to the crabs-in-a-bucket crusade against Linux. Like the constant hate boner with zero sources seems like it has to be exhausting. Shame they refuse to use that energy for anything positive but ¯\(ツ)/¯ their life I guess lol
