Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years

  It may be my perspective comes from western civilization, but do Buddhists have similar child abuse scandals?

  I have no idea, that wasn’t my point with the metaphor.

  I was riffing off the “proselytizing” comment and comparing someone complaining about some shady shit Microsoft and then being advised to change to Linux, with someone complaining about some shady shit the Catholic Church does and then being advised to change to Buddhism.

  It’s not a perfect metaphor, but it gave me a chuckle when I thought of it.

  I picked those religions because Catholicism in its singular “what the Vatican says goes for everyone” approach mapped well onto Microsoft and Windows, and I thought Buddhism, a religion with many flavors, some of which are more structured than others, mapped well onto Linux and its various distros.
