It’s pretty easy to filter out most political stuff on Lemmy and Reddit and similar platforms. Just subscribe to communities you like and stay out of All. If I go to All, I know what I’m in for. That’s on me.

Did that kayak melt??

A grammar Nazi takes time out of their day to give someone crap about a comma splice or argue about whether or not it’s appropriate to capitalize the first word after a colon. OPs like this are not “Grammar Nazi” fodder, it’s just language anarchy normalized by terminally online brainrot.

There’s some kind of newfangled joke meta here, that I guess I’m too old to understand.

Fuck Thank you, Genie

For real this time, guys! Linux is going to displace Windows this year. This is the straw that’s gonna cause a mass migration to the command line, trust me bro

The 2038 problem is going to be +3C global warming, ensuing wet bulb temperatures and mass starvation due to breadbasket failures. (debbie downer sound)

What kind of weed helps concentration? The kind I’ve had makes me lose interest in my own sentences halfway through.

Are the “Windows evangelists” in the room with us right now? Every Windows admin I know hates Microsoft with a burning rage. Literally the only people I’ve ever seen promote Windows are being paid to do it.

Counterintuitively, that’s one reason I like dealing with Windows: the community knows what it is and doesn’t pretend otherwise, like some other more “zealous” fan bases.

This isn’t even funny, and I have a great sense of humor! 😡 /s

Same. Loaded Ubuntu on an under-specced (for Windows) Dell laptop a couple years ago. No niche OS, no obscure hardware. Out of the box, wifi won’t stay connected for more than a few minutes. Literally no other device on the network (Android, Windows, Roku, etc) has wifi issues. Load Windows back on, it works fine.

Linux is never going to take off until basic functionality works reliably. I’m not asking for the moon, here.

That’s a strange conclusion you got to. 96% of all mammal life on Earth is either humans or animals specifically bred to be our food. One species; 96% market share. Over 5000 other species combined only are 4%. Because we killed them all via predation or taking their habitat.

Can’t tell if this is satire or just more deluded, out of touch wishful thinking. Don’t get me wrong: I would LOVE to see Microsoft dethroned. But Windows would have to become literally unusable before we see a mass migration to Linux.

The bots have really ramped up since Trump took office again. Seeing so many top comments with thousands of upvotes just gaslighting the shit out of frightened Americans, telling them they need to touch grass and everything is fine…it’s so chilling.
