[β] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 9 points 3 days ago (2 children) It's hard to believe there is anyone who would care so much about Windows that they naturally get this dedicated to crusading for it. We know now days that there are people getting paid to discredit vegans online, and that's the only explanation for this that makes sense to me. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] auzy1@lemmy.world [S] 6 points 3 days ago Not just windows.. They just hate Linux. The reason I think they're an Apple user though, is that Apple users also defend BSD (since, the MacOS core was essentially unix based), and the culture changed a bit to look down on windows less when the intel macs were released with Windows. I used to sell gear, and a lot of Apple people tend to just like to attack linux in my experience The funny thing is that they say "linux doesn't run any games", but, MacOS has always sucked at games permalink fedilink source parent [β] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* discredit vegans lolwat? like, "yeah it's true, they're all eating bacon when we aren't looking-" ? my deceased FIL was a ms cheerleader for decades, went to MSDN events, had a home office fuckin chock fulla MS credentials and certificates (wooden displays plaques) - he would talk about Linux being a) useless hobbyist OS that'll never be reliable for REAL jobs (this was already delusional in the late 90s) and b) it'll be 'outlawed because they're gonna find stolen code watch'. so just fyi, some people are deranged and ideologically motivated, his was probably due to insecurity about MS - even back then it was heinously expensive (CAL's and licence management being one of his main jobs and a source of constant budget overages).... wonder what he'd think of today's ms with bash and linux lol... permalink fedilink source parent
