How does this answer the question?
I'm a little tired of this platform constantly shouting 24/7 about how we should all use Linux all the time, everything else is terrible, etc. Yes Linux is great, I use it a lot, I love it.
I don't need it constantly shoved down my throat this way though. I especially don't need it's users to act all high and mighty and shame me for daring to still use Windows.
I know the pros and cons of using both and I use both for various different tasks. When somebody asks a question about Windows, just telling them to switch their entire operating system to Linux without knowing anything about their situation or why they use the OS they use isn't answering the question, it's not even trying to answer the question.
It's just saying "you're stupid for using Windows at all for any reason, and I refuse to engage with your actual question or try to help you at all, I'm just here to tell you you're wrong, your personal life choices are bad and you should do what I do instead".
I appreciate how great Linux is, but let's not try to convert everybody to your way of life at every opportunity. Let people live their own lives and make their own choices, whether you agree with them or not, and if they ask a question, seek to answer it without shoehorning your own agenda in. That's all I ask <3
Vegans, Atheists, Linux.. Fourth horseman is what?
Crossfit
Atheist? Um no, I think you mean Mormons.
Atheist rarely ever talk about atheism unless a religions mf is already trying to shove their shit down your throat.
Atheist don't go knocking on your fucking door trying to spread the word of the not God.
This has been my experience also. It takes work for me to find out someone else is atheist like me. But it’s fucking easy to know they are anything else quickly due to context usually lol
Fun linguistic fact: The second "m" in Mormons is silent.
All hail Sithrak!
Agree, but there's a big chunk of atheist that like jerking each other off, vocally telling themselves how superior and smart they are. That's the point being made
Yes. But not the majority and going to a dedicated community on Reddit is just asking for it. You'll never have an atheist in the wild start blabbering on about how they don't believe in God without engaging them first. Unlike mormons, vegans, etc. That's my point.
I still disagree. Majority of topical subreddits and people are nowhere near as obnoxious. Although, granted, Reddit is a bad place to set bars on quality of discussion.
Not what I mean. Check out r/Atheism. It's a particular brand of holier than thou, ironically, that I find insufferable.
edit: For those not excelling in reading comprehension, it's about sanctimonity, being holier than thou, an insufferable asshole. Not unlike the way in which I am writing this.
"Why are Linux users constantly shoving Linux down my throat?"
"Lol yeah, just like atheists, they keep forcing me to go to r/atheism and read their arrogant smug attitude."
Go be butthurt elsewhere.
You first.
I'm sure there's a fight club or something where we can engage in the most useful discussion to rock this planet all the while pelted by peanuts.
Are you trying to miss my point? It's not the when and where, it's the verbiage.
Dude that's like me walking into a fucking Christian church and complaining that the bread isn't actually Jesus's flesh.
Literally not what I mean. Read again until you get it or give up, I don't give a shit anymore.
Whatever you say dude.
Let's just ignore the fact "holier than thou" is literally a phrase because of the stereotype of how religious people act and the condescending tone they use when you won't fall in line and believe in whatever God they do. Most atheists couldn't give any less of shit about what you personally believe in. We're not the ones going around trying to save the souls of people who didn't ask.
Let's ignore the fact that literally wars have been fought over religions elitism.
Let's also ignore the fact that you've repeatedly been condescending in this very thread.
case and point
If missing the point was a sport, I crown you the winner. Congratulations on missing all of my points or rhetorical devices or deliberate uses of the very thing I'm trying to highlight. Applause.
I am a fucking atheist.
And the crown of being a condescending prick goes to... 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 YOU 🥳
You certainly don't act like one, you act more like an asshole. 💩
I know exactly what you're trying to say and I'm hard disagreeing. Ironically, in all your efforts of you saying I'm missing the point, you've completely missed mine.
Cyclists. The four horsemen of objectively superior lifestyles.
Check, check, check, check. Wow.
I don't know how true it is these days, but it used to be Crossfit
Maybe you should take a hint
Maybe you shouldn't be cringe.
Maybe you should try being original.
For those wondering what I'm talking about, this person is the perfect example.
Yes and we're all tired of hearing about new ways MS is trying to fuck you. The reason you keep hearing about it is because it keeps being the answer to questions asked.
Instead of using bullshit software to get around problems that shouldn't exist in the first place, and are regularly and maliciously "patched", just install an operating system that respects you as the user.
It's a two-word response. Where is all the rest of this coming from? Do you need a cookie, a hug, a pinata, and maybe a nap?
Most people only need LibreOffice and Firefox.
Yeah but most people aren't lemmy users, meaning that the people who are here and have tech questions probably do more with their computers.
I have windows-only software i use that interfaces with hardware and the only way it all works is using an actual windows PC -- not a VM.
Why are you still on Windows when you love and use Linux?
Why do you still eat bread when you love pasta?
