Yeah and you know what? Fuck that, I work hard on my stupid little comments, even check spelling and shit, so when I come back and what I see? 6 upvotes? That's like twice as much than when I was still on reddit! Normally I would get one, from myself. So thank you very much, I appreciate it!

Go into any programming community and post that you prefer Windows to Linux.

Go to any hexbear instance and say just about anything that might have nuance or critical thought.

Here's my opinion on why your wrong. Windows is full of trackers that gather your telemetry (anonymously but if you piss off bill gates he will send you a screenshot of all the porn you watched) which tells Microsoft things like when you take a shit and how many minorities you dislike. Next is performance because Windows runs like hot garbage on low tier computers. Your $400 HP laptop comes with Windows? Well enjoy 20 minutes of loading when you boot that bad boy up and even Microsoft Office will struggle. Settings in Windows are all fucked up because Steve Gates can't decide on where shit goes so now you have TWO that's right TWO settings menus, one that's your classic control panel and the other that's old people proof even though old people can't work out how to open the start menu let alone change a setting. Finally there's the ads which are annoying as shit. You start up your shitbox of a PC which takes twenty minutes and your greeted with "oh you should buy gamepass lmao. That's why I use Linux. Linux is the best operating system. You download it, install it, mess it up somehow and Install it again. Why I love the fact that only some distros gather telemetry (idk which ones lmao) and the fact that there's 20 billion different operating systems to choose from built useing Linux with varying degrees of quality. And no matter what you get you'll still end up using the terminal to fix your shitty drivers. Personally I love Temple OS. Temple OS is written in holy C

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

My problem is that when I log in and have 10+ notifications I think “oh no what did I say” and then never check them.

18

Yeah me too. I can always feel my heart beating faster when I see the messages tab not being empty

Haha I always think "oh shit, what did I say this time?"

I always check them though. Most of the time they're good.

Wish they would add a disable-inbox-replies for specific comments feature like reddit has

Sometimes I'm relieved I didn't get replies to the stupid shit I said lol

But it's only been 1 minute since you last checked because you struggle with ADHD and the instant happy chemicals are more important than completing actually important tasks.

If those tasks are so important, then how come they don't trigger the happy brain juice?

2

Because important ≠ fun or interesting. ADHD does not play nice with anything that is boring or unengaging.

Throw a post up in asklemmy before you go to sleep and you'll always wake up with a coupla replies.

just go to one of the more tense instances and say capitalism good/capitalism bad and you'll have more than enough.

Or if you're feeling really brave write a comment about why veganism is correct literally anywhere.

lemm.ee

I'd argue that the problem isn't so much saying that you're a vegan because X, Y, Z, but that very often vegans extend that to moral judgements about people that aren't vegan, without accepting that there are reasons someone may not wish to be a vegan. Y'know, god forbid that you tell a vegan that you hunt your own meat, and only kill/eat invasive species that are disrupting the ecosystem, like feral pigs, or lionfish in the Gulf of Mexico.

I sincerely don't understand your comment. I've been insulted for saying that I dislike a particular browser, for instance.

Oh I’m just pretending you said an unpopular comment and giving the sort of expected reply.

I'm not talking about CP or racist/sexist shit, obviously.

I'll have you know I sprinkled the first 3 spices I could find on that microwaved dinner, if that's not fine dining I don't know what is. yes the first 2 were salt and pepper, next question

I find microwave ovens quite perfect for cooking mixed vegetables. What makes them terrible in your opinion?
