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

I’m not sure I get the analogy here… Do you think there will be less abuse by priests if there are more Catholics?

🤦‍♂️

First, do you think Microsoft would do less shady shit if there were more Windows users? I’m sort of confused about where you’re finding that interpretation of the metaphor.

But more importantly, as I explained in my other reply I was just riffing on the proselytizing comment. It made me chuckle to think about someone being advised to change religions after voicing a (legitimate) frustration with their religious leadership.

No, I think more MS users = MS shady shit. So, to discourage MS shady shit, I encourage people to not use MS software. I also think that people who are worried about abuse by priests should tithe or otherwise donate to Catholic churches (belief matters less than action here; and it’s less reasonable to swap out belief system, I guess.)

That’s why your analogy seems backwards to me.

Doesn’t matter anyway. I guess I just don’t get it. Have a nice day.

  I promise I wasn’t trying to make any value statements at all. I wasn’t speaking in favor of Windows or of the Catholic Church. Just something that made me chuckle. 🙄

There is a philosophical difference using Open Source software. To compare it to religion is pretty shitty honestly, even if you find it amusing. Linux is not faith it is logic.

  Hoooooly fuck. I was just riffing off the other guy using the word proselytizing. I wasn’t trying to make any sort of point.
  
  Go outside and leave me alone. Fuck. I’ve already explained this multiple times.
  
  Linux is fucking awesome. But you all take yourselves way too seriously. You’re making the community look like complete tools.

    Taking this a tad bit personally I see. I was just commenting on the conversation. I don’t speak for any community.
    
    Your definitely a bit of wanker to be honest.
