Comment on Researcher finds a way to invisibly reverse Windows updates

  I suspect you lack value of software freedom.

    Incorrect. I just think there is a lot more nuance to be considered constantly beating people over the head with “just install Linux”.

      Nuance is the friend of truth. Still, I would argue that’s limited to a transition period away from proprietary software to some free software alternative (Linux is just one good answer).

    I literally cannot use Linux at the moment due to incompatible software, as much as I love Linux and use it on every other computer I own.

    These posts about Windows and other mainstream platforms are helpful for some of us, I wish people on Lemmy would stop shooting them down just because they don’t like Windows/Micro$oft.

      I think many of them don’t even know how to use Windows.

      I don’t see most of these problems using Windows Pro - it affects Home versions. There’s a reason I make my family pay for a Pro license.

        I am biased but being unable to use Windows probably says a lot more about the OS than the Linux users.

      Seeing people in toxic relationship with their computing and refusing to leave can be frustrating. I can’t blame others for expressing themselves in response by either beating a dead horse, poking a sensitive spot for schadenfreude, or circlejerking.

    Ah, yes, the insult retort.

    • tabular@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      No insult was intended.

      I have no expectation to convince anyone of anything.

      Not “open source” but software freedom. It’s open source but with a moral component.

      Indeed I have no idea about that and, if you care about that, perhaps someone else can help you with specifics.
