I will do what I want. If you don’t like it, you can leave.

Linux isn’t on topic.
It’s literally about Windows.
Do you see a post about the PS5 and start talking about the SNES?
- Comment on Windows 10 gets three more years of security updates, if you can afford them 11 months ago:
Ps3 controllers literally just work on Windows without any sketchy drivers. Same with ps4 and ps5.
Printers literally just work. I bought a Brother, and windows 11 automatically found it.
Sounds like you should be up to date before commenting.
I would love to know which software is Linux only.

I can’t handle how fucking obsessive this website is about one singular topic. You guys are a broken record. You never shut the fuck up about Linux.

And Linux doesn’t work with a ton of stuff. I have a ton of hardware that only works on Windows, I have a ton of software that only works on Windows with 0 Linux alternatives…
I mean shit, even PAID DaVinci Resolve doesn’t have AAC audio support on Linux, while it’s in the free version on Windows.
I’m also not sure what you mean by longer support for old hardware? Windows has crazy good support for legacy hardware. I can plug my steering wheel from 1997 into my windows 11 PC and it just works.
I mean shit, Windows literally has code in the kernel specifically to fix bugs with older games.
But ya. Linux is better. That’s why my wifi drivers, sound drivers, video drivers, trackpad drivers, don’t work, and I have to spend a week trying to fix it.

Did I trigger your autism?
- Comment on Windows 10 gets three more years of security updates, if you can afford them 11 months ago:
I’m the weird one for getting sick and tired of people like you forcing Linux into every fucking conversation, making this entire website about Linux?
If there’s a thread about something stupid Apple does, the comments are about the stupid thing. Learn to stay on topic, holy shit.
You’re obviously the guy at Christmas that won’t shut up about a singular topic and everyone tries to make excuses to leave the room.
- Comment on Windows 10 gets three more years of security updates, if you can afford them 11 months ago:
Can Lemmy users stop forcing Linux in EVERY. FUCKING. THREAD?
- Comment on Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around? 11 months ago:
Do you use the internet? Just here on Lemmy I see people asking daily about how to fix their Linux distros that just stopped booting. I mean shit, Linux Mint has an entire utility built for making hourly backups of your machine for when it fucks up and you need to restore it to a bootable state lol
- Comment on Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around? 11 months ago:
Not only is it easy to bypass the TPM requirement, but literally all modern CPUs have the ability to enable software TPM, or you can buy a hardware TPM for a few bucks.
It’s funny that you’ll go through the trouble of messing with Linux instead of just flipping a switch in your BIOS.
- Comment on Windows 10 gets three more years of security updates, if you can afford them 11 months ago:
Nobody asked. This thread is about Windows 10.
- Comment on Beeper reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android users 11 months ago:
You literally didn’t read before speaking.
- Comment on Beeper reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android users 11 months ago:
There’s 0 security loss. Everything is on device. They reverse engineered iMessage and your device is seen as an iPhone to Apple.
Perhaps read before speaking?
- Comment on YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" 11 months ago:
I don’t believe in it, and I’ll never go, but my girlfriend does.
Yes, she has to keep going back, but when they “pop” the correct thing, she’s pain free for weeks. When she holds off going, she’s in pain and can’t sleep until she goes.
I personally don’t trust them, and it’s a lot of money for temporary relief, but I guess it kinda works? As long as you’re fine with the trade-off being fucking paralyzed when they crank your neck at the speed of sound.
- Comment on ProtonMail and SimpleLogin emails will be blocked from registering on websites 11 months ago:
I’m confused. Who even uses FakeFilter? And whatever websites do use it, most people probably won’t use anyway lol
- Comment on Android app maker Simple Mobile Tools acquired by ZipoApps 11 months ago:
Welcome to the future of Lemmy. The amount of people I see here that complain about ads, but also refuse to open their wallet, is most.
- Comment on Arch and other Linux operating systems Beat Windows 11 in Gaming Benchmarks 11 months ago:
Ironic when 95% of Lemmy is full of people telling others to use Linux.
- Comment on Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself” 11 months ago:
By comparison Lemmy has 30,000 active users and steadily dropping.
It’s actually pretty funny how much of an echo chamber Lemmy can be. All I see is positive comments about how Lemmy is so great and growing, and Twitter is dead! Meanwhile it’s the opposite. Twitter is still very much alive, and Lemmy is becoming a small cul-de-sac echo chamber.
My Lemmy app lets me tag people, which I use to tag people who are rude to others, nice to me, helpful, racist, etc, just so I can remember who was nice and who wasn’t nice to interact with, and I literally see the same handful of people in every thread, and the front page of “everything” is filled with the same people making every thread.
Same with Reddit. We all thought Reddit was dead, and, well… it isn’t. Some days I really regret getting IP banned for shilling out Lemmy. Plenty of communities I really miss from Reddit that just simply won’t work on Lemmy, because of how Lemmy is so FOSS centric.
- Comment on Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself” 11 months ago:
Because while the concept isn’t too difficult to understand once it’s explained to you, it’s not easy as going to “Mastodon and signing up”.
The different servers, having to remember other people’s instances along with their username (for example, you can’t just say “omg check out Jack Froth on Mastodon! He’s so funny!”, because where? What instance? Who is it?
Not to mention Mastodon, much like Lemmy, dropped the ball hard when it came to onboarding during the peak interest. When you downloaded the app, you had to manually type in your instance, username, and password, which you had to go to an instance in your web browser to sign up for first.
Now Mastodon gives you the option to sign up like a regular app and it’ll pick a default server for you. Way more friendly, but no one cares, because they already have the bad confusing taste in their mouth.
Then comes the community. Twitter is extremely toxic, but somehow Lemmy and Mastodon are worse. I know a few people I follow have recently discussed wanting to leave Mastodon because the Mastodon community attacks them, saying they don’t want them there, because they have a successful YouTube channel. The type of people that the fediverse attracts are FOSS users, and FOSS users can be really… particular.
I’ve been attacked on both Lemmy and Mastodon because I made some pro-windows comments. It’s pretty exhausting. The hard pill to swallow is that the fediverse isn’t accepting and isn’t kind towards “normal” people.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
Is that because they just aren’t making them because no one can afford them?
I just paid $18,000 for an 8 year old base model Jeep Patriot with 210K.
Car market is fucked.
- Comment on Google Will Mass Delete Old Gmail And Photos Content Next Week 11 months ago:
I assumed such from the title. It could be worded better, but it’s pretty obvious what was happening.
- Comment on Is it safe to use pans with peeling nonstick coating? 11 months ago:
Once you season cast iron you can clean it however you want. Even with soap. The oils you bake on there at such high heat causes polymerization.
You don’t have to continue to season cast iron after cleaning it, unless you’re cleaning it with a fucking angle grinder.
- Comment on Nothing Chats has already been pulled from Google Play over privacy issues 11 months ago:
E2EE is one of the main points of iMessage. Security minded iMessage users are not going to feel comfortable if a Sunbird user is on the other end.
You could say the same about RCS. Apple’s implementation of RCS next year will not have e2ee, at least not at first.
Can’t wait to lose my RCS e2ee thanks to Apple.

- Comment on It's been almost a decade: Give us more base Google One storage already 1 year ago:
Just an i7-3770K, GTX 980, 8 HDDs, 2 SSDs.
My AC is some fancy new shit. No idea how it works so well and uses less than my NAS. Blew my mind.
- Comment on It's been almost a decade: Give us more base Google One storage already 1 year ago:
I personally have a kill-a-watt. A device that measures how many kWa it uses.
Then I see how much it uses per day (you can leave it plugged in to test longer, or you can do like an hour and times that by 24), and see how much my power company charges per kW.
It’s actually pretty fun. Devices that you think would be pretty expensive to run end up being pretty cheap, and the things that you think would be pretty cheap end up being pretty expensive.
Like my AC unit is cheaper than my NAS. Never would’ve guessed it.
- Comment on Nothing Phone builds a blue bubble iMessage bridge while Google and Apple fight over RCS 1 year ago:
They can see who you talk to, when you talk to them and the type of messages (text/images/videos).
If your speaking to someone at the same time they are googleing a new trampoline, Google can infer your likely to be interested in trampolines as well.
That’s such fuzzy data that it really doesn’t matter at all. Point is, my messages are encrypted, and Google can think I want a trampoline if they want to think that.
Plus you said Google wants everyones messaging data, but they literally aren’t getting it. So no, that’s not why they are pushing it hard.
Apple can also run their own RCS servers (my carrier does). They simply aren’t supporting RCS because they LIKE that Android is shamed for having green bubbles. It would hurt Apple if their phones were more compatible with Android.
- Comment on Nothing Phone builds a blue bubble iMessage bridge while Google and Apple fight over RCS 1 year ago:
I don’t know, but that’s not what was said. The comment I replied to said Google controlled everything, and that’s false.
Just here to correct false claims.
- Comment on Popular porn sites now display unproven health warnings thanks to Texas law 1 year ago:
and ‘increases the demand for prostitution, child exploitation, and child pornography.’"
Idk, when I’m watching adult porn, I don’t think to myself “wow, I wish these were children instead”.
