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
That's the attention he gets off on. It's not like he's coming off as sane and tricking people into agreeing with him. He's coming off like someone preaching on a street corner who isn't even facing the right direction.
Just ignore him. If you can't do that, condescend to him. But yeah he's getting off on the attention, so don't feed the troll
The difference is, the street corner people DO get attention, and later get noticed on places like facebook and such, and people can hear them (they just need to play victim).. if a tree falls in a forest and nobody sees it, does it matter?
If their posts stay negative, they'll probably just leave, because even people subscribed won't see them
They're a troll - and fundemental to being a troll is taking positive reinforcement from negative reactions. Thats more or less their whole thing. This guy keeps doing it because posts like these keep demonstrating that he is getting attention paid to him - as do things like his posts getting copious downvotes. Ignoring trolls really is the best way to handle 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.
Pfft, look at this guy, who wants to buy only genuine IBM PCs and not PC-clones! I bet he pays for his usenet subscription, and sends his extra AOL free trial CDs back so they can be distributed to users who need it.
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.
He started saying Linux needed ecc for a while, windows didn't, which is absolutely ridiculous given that a lot of Mac's needed ecc, and windows server explicitly recommends ecc.
My Linux Android phone doesn't use ecc either, or people's Samsung tv
Yup, and I asked him at least 5 times if he believes that why is he not only on Lemmy, but moderates his own community on what he calls "commie garbage."
I've interacted with MadThumbz before, I was still on Reddit when they got banned for admin abuse. I'm pretty sure they're a troll, but I've blocked them regardless
OOP after shooting L1T Wendell: "What? It was obvious! He's the red commie. Watch, he'll turn red any second now! ...Aaaaaaany second now. See, red! No-wait, that's blood."
I feel like this is probably a disinformation bot. Why would a human being have such strong feelings about an OS that allows people to circumvent corporate control/surveillance on their PC?
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.
LOL This person is a bit unhinged, and cannot recognize that Linux distros are viable for just about everyone who wants to manage their computer. And not have a big corporation interfere with what they can and cannot do with their computer. Cheaters, criminals, and all sorts use a variety of OS.
I just happen to be a geek that enjoys Linux, specifically, Garuda Linux. A great distro.
On my side, I believe people can use whatever they want (even TempleOS). I use Fedora, but Windows in a VM for work. I used to sell Apple gear (and, Apple hardware is the ONLY hardware I've ever come across with really weird hardware design issues, like wireless mice that can't be plugged in and use).
The irony is though, almost everyone uses Linux every day somehow (whether its embedded in some of their devices, like their router, or they use Android).
Also, this Lemmy instance probably runs on Linux..
Yeah, I do think that people can and should use whatever. As long as they are fine with the shortcomings of said OS, and it still works well with their workflow. I am starting to just give a shit about what I am using and only protesting the worst garbage big corpos are pulling (I pay attention to what is happening on other OS). Yeah, Linux is everywhere, as it can be made to be small and useful. So while one might use a MacOS or Windows device, they rely on Linux to connect to the web. I like Android because of the Linux Kernel underneath it all, but, I really would like to get a phone that is open source...Heh. One day, perhaps. As I use a Samsung at the moment.
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)
I admit I’ve tried gently poking into OOP’s psyche and they do genuinely seem committed to the crabs-in-a-bucket crusade against Linux. Like the constant hate boner with zero sources seems like it has to be exhausting. Shame they refuse to use that energy for anything positive but ¯\(ツ)/¯ their life I guess lol
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
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...
Why do you think there's such an interest in VFIO and passing a graphics card thru to a VM? You think all these people are just happily making their own cloud gaming Stadia clone? Nah fam, they're fucking cheaters trying to hide their tracks. For every five legit posts there's a "why can't I get BattleEye/EAC to work in a VM?" JUST STOP CHEATING BRO
I'm more criminal. I protest government laws I don't like, commit anti-gov acts when disrespected or dehumanised by said gov, and I vehemently oppose corporate exploitation to the point that, in political terminology, I "don't recognise" their authority. More so, my penchant for privacy will likely be criminalised before the decade is out.
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?
Same thing except, he owns a sub linuxsucks101. Madthumbs goes there to post dumb ai images and ai essays. He also goes once in a while to r/linuxmemes and r/linuxsucks to post more ai garbage. Funnily enough there is a sub, linuxsucks101sucks.
I'm all for pointing and making fun of the questionable stuff that Unix/Linux does, some as old as the first versions!, but that comm is just the mod/owner haturbaiting against Linux.
Linux is a tool, nothing more, nothing less. I manage Linux and Windows servers, they're both just tools. While this guy is a dipshit, I do wonder about people that worship at the alter of Linus.
While you're technically right, I'd say that FOSS in general is more than just a tool, and Linux is The FOSS project.
Deciding to share your work freely and cooperate with strangers as a contributor is, especially in a world driven by profits, a pretty major lifestyle/philosophy and an act of resistance against capitalism.
Of course, you can just exploit the ecosystem and treat it as any other tool, that happens to be free, but I would say that that is the explanation about "people that worship the altar of Linus" that you're looking for. Spending basically your entire life to help make something, especially as complex as an operating system, for others and for free is something that, at least in my eyes, is worthy of admiration and I have utmost repsect for people who contribute.
Would you rather use a tool that's yours or a tool that's on corporates leash? If it's for my job I'm using whichever they give me, if it's for me they can rightly fuck off with their corpo nonsense unless the alternative isn't able to do the job. At least how I see it.
Oh no, it's not parody. They genuinely hate Linux and are on a crusade against the community. I have them blocked because the spam on the new queue was relentless.
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.
People still act like world governments spying on civilians is still a conspiracy theory even though it's written into law in multiple countries at this point...
nah.. He isn't blocked.. You probably already blocked them though in the past..
They just get negative votes constantly.. For obvious reasons.. I only have 6 subscribers on "linuxsucks sucks", and, even if I only get 1 upvote, I'm more successful than madthumbs lol. I suspect their subs are just to downvote them
What’s sad is there’s good posts to be made in a Linuxsucks community. The Debian intelligence apparatus takeover/murder-suicide pact alone could keep it going for a year.
I mean that tends to happen with satire subs, you'll eventually get unitonic people who don't grt the joke. But this is the top post of all time, literally just Linux master race stuff: https://i.redd.it/h8tnf23tgy6g1.jpeg
And even the complaint memes are too specific for people who genuinely dont regularly use Linux.
We all thought it was a joke at first.. But, its similar to how "Trump is just joking" and it's becoming increasingly obvious, its a narcissist who has lived in a echo chamber with mental issues..
When you start making weird subtle attacks on the LGBTI community, and start mimicking the dementia guy.. I'd argue both..
It's like reddit subs like "the donald". It's pretty clear they were less about politics, and more about attacking people.
It's becomingly increasingly clear, thats what the sub is ACTUALLY about.. If you removed the word "linux" from a lot of their memes, it becomes a lot more obvious
Its a meme among racist and anti Semitic people. They talk about gentoo as an escape from Jews. There is imagery to go along with it but I dont have any. So when I see the gentoo logo I always think of those posters.

Don't feed the trolls
Good point. But also: sometimes show people what trolls look like, so they know what not to feed.
That's the attention he gets off on. It's not like he's coming off as sane and tricking people into agreeing with him. He's coming off like someone preaching on a street corner who isn't even facing the right direction.

Would a criminal not simply pirate a paid operating system?
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.
Pfft, look at this guy, who wants to buy only genuine IBM PCs and not PC-clones! I bet he pays for his usenet subscription, and sends his extra AOL free trial CDs back so they can be distributed to users who need it.
:P
You steal the data BG could've gathered if you used his OS
And marketshare
And (eventually) attention from developers
Bruh IBM is the primordial evil. They were evil long before the lesser demons came to rule
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.

Dude tried to argue with me that ECC memory is why windows is better.
Yes, he's that stupid.
He kept trying to argue that anything open source is "commie garbarge."
You can see me completely destroy all of his arguments and he runs away like the MAGA bitch he is. Pathetic.
Pretty sure I responded to the same post.
He started saying Linux needed ecc for a while, windows didn't, which is absolutely ridiculous given that a lot of Mac's needed ecc, and windows server explicitly recommends ecc.
My Linux Android phone doesn't use ecc either, or people's Samsung tv
He said that on Lemmy, an open source platform, hosted mostly (I assume) on Linux servers? Brilliant
Yup, and I asked him at least 5 times if he believes that why is he not only on Lemmy, but moderates his own community on what he calls "commie garbage."
He ran away every single time.
He didn't ban you?
He should grow a pair, fork his own Lemmy server, closed the source, and run it on a windows server.
I've interacted with MadThumbz before, I was still on Reddit when they got banned for admin abuse. I'm pretty sure they're a troll, but I've blocked them regardless

My Linux user is not a criminal, they maybe conspiracy theorist, liar, commie, cheater, criminal but they are not a pornstar.
Edit: forgot conspiracy theorist
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.
This is why you only learn like one or two command options, then you turned off the video.
Maybe I'm being oblivious, but just FYI, this was a Simpsons reference.
Doing the gayest of crimes on Linux
Not gay-crimes! Those are the worst ones!
Unisox united!
If Linux users were commonly cheaters, you'd think games' anti-cheats would work on Linux.
Nah we're just two timing on our partners
Partners?
I might be a commie, a criminal, and a pornstar, but I am NOT a cheater.
Can confirm on the porn.

LOL This person is a bit unhinged, and cannot recognize that Linux distros are viable for just about everyone who wants to manage their computer. And not have a big corporation interfere with what they can and cannot do with their computer. Cheaters, criminals, and all sorts use a variety of OS.
I just happen to be a geek that enjoys Linux, specifically, Garuda Linux. A great distro.
Does Garuda Linux play "Sandstorm" every time you boot it?
Edit: no wait, crap, it's Darude isn't it.
It doesn't matter who it was. I know the song you meant, and now it is stuck in my head all day.
Thankfully it's a fairly enjoyable riff to spontaneously interrupt me any time I leave my brain free for a few seconds :)
And I corrected it to Gerudo and started playing Gerudo Valley in my head.
Though if I just repeat the first phrase n times before continuing with the rest, I can make it more like a Gerudo Valley Sandstorm.
On my side, I believe people can use whatever they want (even TempleOS). I use Fedora, but Windows in a VM for work.

I have a light pilot licence.. The crap I've flown, probably only has an OS for the GPS/radio stack (Garmin).
Technically, not even sure they even have proper ECU's..
Commies on Lemmy?

Oh wow our first beef community! Thats awesome!
Not much competition really.

Reads LLM generated, honestly. It's probably a troll who spends the whole day prompting some unrestricted models and losing touch with reality.

Well, that's a gang that is not boring to be with. I'm good with that
I bet OOP is with the CIA
I actually suspect Madthumbs has worked with Apple Tbh.
I used to sell Apple gear, and, many of their arguments seem similar to what a lot of Apple people comment.
hm. i dont think i can argue against that in my case...
only that im not a cheater, or criminal.
what confuses me is that i have heard so many people talking about this community but i have never seen it. does lemmy.world block it or something?
nah.. He isn't blocked.. You probably already blocked them though in the past..
They just get negative votes constantly.. For obvious reasons.. I only have 6 subscribers on "linuxsucks sucks", and, even if I only get 1 upvote, I'm more successful than madthumbs lol. I suspect their subs are just to downvote them
Playing APB, I guess?
What’s sad is there’s good posts to be made in a Linuxsucks community. The Debian intelligence apparatus takeover/murder-suicide pact alone could keep it going for a year.
Sir... what?!

Enjoy the reading material.
After looking at that page, I too ask... what?
All conclusions drawn are the readers own.
... whaat?
It’s just a website with information you can read, I don’t wanna tell you what to think about that information or what conclusions to draw!
Isn't that sub satire?
Its like how everyone said originally that Trump was joking, and after a while, it became evident that he probably just has brain damage..
I suspect this is someone with genuine mental issues. Why would you bother when you're not getting any traction
I mean that tends to happen with satire subs, you'll eventually get unitonic people who don't grt the joke. But this is the top post of all time, literally just Linux master race stuff: https://i.redd.it/h8tnf23tgy6g1.jpeg
And even the complaint memes are too specific for people who genuinely dont regularly use Linux.
No, it just looks like satire (or alternatively pure insanity) to anyone still having a working brain cell.
There's no way this isn't satire: https://reddit.com/r/linuxsucks/comments/1p90gx1/gave_linux_a_try_but_im_wiping_the_drive_its_just/
That's the reddit sub. Apparently he's got r/linuxsucks101 there. The image from this OP looks like Lemmy.
That thread started out looking like the uncanny valley but is definitely satire as it goes on.
You guys still taking a circlejerk sub seriously?
Read the sidebar for that comm. It's not satire or a circlejerk. The one dude who mods it and posts most of the content is serious.
We all thought it was a joke at first.. But, its similar to how "Trump is just joking" and it's becoming increasingly obvious, its a narcissist who has lived in a echo chamber with mental issues..
So you're pointing and laughing at someone with mental issues?
You can have mental issues, and still be an asshole
And which one does getting upset over an operating system make you?
When you start making weird subtle attacks on the LGBTI community, and start mimicking the dementia guy.. I'd argue both..
It's like reddit subs like "the donald". It's pretty clear they were less about politics, and more about attacking people.
It's becomingly increasingly clear, thats what the sub is ACTUALLY about.. If you removed the word "linux" from a lot of their memes, it becomes a lot more obvious
Plenty of rightoids also using linux. I can't see the gentoo logo without picturing an obease man saying "come home white man"
I tried it but it was not a nice experience.
What?
Its a meme among racist and anti Semitic people. They talk about gentoo as an escape from Jews. There is imagery to go along with it but I dont have any. So when I see the gentoo logo I always think of those posters.
That raises more questions, but I don't actually want to know more.
