Agree to disagree then

Where do you propose we shop?

You gotta shop somewhere, would you rather it be Walmart?

I hate windows as much as the next lemmy user, but turning down a well paying job because I don’t want to use the OS 99+% of businesses use, means you must be at a level of stability I cannot even fathom.

And not you, but OP was kind of a dick calling IT lazy. As someone go works in IT myself, a lot of departments these days are woefully understaffed. We’re not going to support any extra software, causing us to work more overtime hours, because one douche is throwing a hissyfit

God you must make a ton of money

You can take away my auto complete, performance monitoring and all that jazz but you can’t tell me a debugging system isn’t absolutely essential if you actually want to finish a project in a reasonable amount of time

Not really anti commie, but NK sure is

Oh boy, here the Tankies go again

Yeah there are plenty of degrees that shouldn’t really be an area of study at university. But there are plenty that justify it as well

It’s only ever worked to the benefit of the student in my experience

Lately it’s been seeming the opposite to me, whenever a criticism is made against soviets / ex Soviets

I have tried to do my research and inform myself about the current situation. I am aware Ukraine has its issues, but I have not come across anything that justifies the current conflict. If you have evidence otherwise, i earnestly beg you to share it, and I will consider it as unbiasedly as I can

For the record you seem to believe I support America, I don’t.

He maybe doesn’t have the control of the entirety of the country, but has been the central figure for 25 years. That simply doesn’t happen legitimately in a country that isn’t basically a utopia, and we all know Russia is far from that.

No I meant other countries, they have been manipulating the border along Georgia as well, just not as forcefully.

I urge you to watch some of their military parades and festivals, they are straight up dystopian.

By all means, keep deluding yourself into thinking Russia is somehow on the right side of this, just don’t be surprised when the world keeps get worse.

The fact that my original comment was straight up deleted speaks volumes about this community. I was banned from reddit for speaking out against ultra conservatives (in America specially) so I came here. Turns out this community is literally no better than the other side

Bro they have literally had the same man in power for the last 25 years. The elections are far too one sided to be legitimate. They enforce heavy military propoganda. They have wealthy oligarchs while they working class is barely scraping by. And they have been trying to forcefully take land from other countries for years at the expense of citizens of both sides. Please explain how everything I said isn’t true, or would you rather just hurl empty insults again instead and make yourself look even more ridiculous

Yeah it’s gotten bad on reddit

The thing is, we have to be reasonable with our expectations. You or I may remember that Microsoft has always been shady and anti consumer, most people don’t. They remember a time when you bought things and owned them, and it didn’t feel like we were being nickel and dimed quite so hard. We are not going to start an anti Microsoft (or whatever corporation) movement and actually be able to rile the masses to support that cause, but we might at least be able to get them to demand things go back to the quality they were at 30 years ago

From a new users perspective, a lot of the main ones will probably feel very similar and the main difference you’d notice is stability and compatibility. Don’t overwhelm yourself with choices, just choose a easy to use, high user base, well supported distro to start on (Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint) and if you don’t like it move to something else later
