MT is going to continue anyway. Might as well show newbies what a crazy loser they are, so at least the posts all get downvoted into oblivion as they post them

One of the big sticking points stopping me from to switching to Linux is that I don't get to do the incredibly cool crime of stealing from Bill Gates. I considered switching to RHEL, but stealing from IBM isn't quite as cool.

Presumably the reason criminals would want to use Linux is that privacy focused distros exist that would make them harder to identify, as well as Linux just generally not broadcasting telemetry to corps that can give it to authorities at the drop of a hat.

I can pirate other things! Don't tell me what to steal

Maybe a dumb one.

I crimethink, therefore I amthink.

Oh.. But they CAN be.

I recall at one of the conferences (or during), maybe 20 years, someone was apparently selling a porn video training people how to use nmap.

Klitoris

Not gay-crimes! Those are the worst ones!

Unisox united!

Nah we're just two timing on our partners

Can confirm on the porn.

The loony bin? Is that where you install funny programs?

hi a commie, i am fest

Yeah, it's either that or someone who has decided their special interest is hating linux. If it's the user that I think it is, when I looked at their history earlier, pretty much every post of theirs is over the top anti-linux.

Though I am glad to see that most of the accounts I suspect of astroturfing are generally downvoted to the negatives here. Though I do wonder if this place will end up being a training ground for propaganda that works on the segments of the population that are highly represented here that don't seem as susceptible to the shit that would get eaten up on FB or gain some traction on reddit. Actually, windows love probably does well on reddit since it's made up of people who haven't gotten tired enough of the enshitification to leave and are probably doing the same with windows.

That... might even be why they enshitified it so much for no apparent benefit at the cost of many users that contributed positively. Those contributions might not have been seen as so positive if they responded to marketing bullshit negatively.

Nice conspiracy theory! The propaganda bot must be telling the truth!!

Not much competition really.

This is someone who says "linux users don't have jobs", but on another hand, spends all day making stupid (and occasionally bigoted) memes, like the weird one about pronouns.

Someone who spends this much time attacking an operating system, probably doesn't have much of an exciting life (and, they probably aren't getting invited to anything, anywhere)

It's more likely than you think

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

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...

Oh he's a known entity over there? I only became aware when I saw the schizoposting here. Does he do the same anti linux crusade on reddit or does he have a different schtick?

Running a Windos VM for that one game...

People trying to get anticheat to work are cheaters? How does that work?

seems like a parody of the news with the same title but "religious people" as subject instead, I've seen it these days.

Well, it's a Threadiverse community. Doesn't say the instance name, but you can search lemmyverse.net, and lemmy.world is usually a good bet anyway, since a large portion of communities are on there.
