Guys, I’m a Linux user, too, but can we stop having these fake arguments, please?

Many such cases

I never met anyone in real life who said the stuff shown in this meme. The handful of comments here are few and far between.

Spent two weeks debloating

The folks who care enough to debloat are either already on Linux or would spend maybe 1-2h to make a few fixes, before they get something they are okay with.

Just install Linux

For those who stick with Windows, it’s often more than “just switching”. They may need certain software, they may not be tech-savvy, they may be insecure about whether they could handle the occasional hiccup on a system that is completely new to them. All valid reasons for hesitation, and “just switch” is about as helpful as “just cheer up”.

Because learning Linux would take time.

I’ve used Linux for 15 years now, and I’m still constantly learning new things. Linux is so much more usable now than it ever was, and I also think more people should switch. But suggesting that you “learn Linux” in two weeks’ time is just silly and dishonest IMO.

I wish we as a community could stop with this sense of superiority and actually acknowledge people’s humane struggles to help them make the move.

Dunno but Signal and Threema look like that.

No u.

Baked beans slices?

Gimme that co-pilot with real intelligence —> Shows you syntax errors and inconsistent object definitions.

Yes, I simply don’t think this one is particularly good.

I get that, but this parody just replicates the original humor.

Fine line between mirroring and holding up the mirror. This feels more like the former.

Comedian: My wife won’t fuck me on command.

Boomers: Funniest shit ever.

He’s being deployed there.

But only during full wolf.

Me: Teams, can I please add this file to this folder?

Teams: Sure, just click “Add file” and navigate to the file you want to add.

Me: Can you let me just drag and drop?

Teams: No, fuck you. Click “Add file”.

I think I just suffered a mild stroke reading this.

Using the power of AI, you too could send your boss emails that read like the following, completely hassle-free:

"Certainly, here is a version of your email without slurs or aggressive phrasing.

Dear Fred,

…"

My cat was already a batshit weirdo when we met him at the shelter. But that was partly the reason we ended up adopting him. He fits in, and we love him.

Shush, you, with your reasonable and well-sourced criticism of the decicent.

New unit unlocked. The decicent.

The spectrum in question:

I realized that I phrased my point very poorly. I didn’t mean that people don’t do sports, eat healthy, and live fulfilling lives. They sure do. What I meant was that people (like when you ask them personally or in a survey) tend to exaggerate their healthy/good habits and downplay the bad ones. So it’s good to take self-reports with a grain of salt. It’s a well known kind of bias (social desirability).
